11. "Party time, excellent, yeah Wayne's World/ Campbell's soup on the wrist, just call me Earl" - Lil Wayne, "Get High, Screw Da World"
the Blues Brothers homage in the "Whateva Man" video deserves an honorable mention, at least.
as much as Kanye quotes Anchorman, I'm sure he's referenced some SNL somewhere, although I can't remember any at the moment.

― deej, Monday, 11 June 2007 20:29 (eighteen years ago)
Redman also namechecks Piscopo in "Da Goodness"!
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 11 June 2007 20:32 (eighteen years ago)
i think you can tell that piscopo is the type of dude that redman would want to hang out with
― strongohulkington, Monday, 11 June 2007 20:33 (eighteen years ago)

― strongohulkington, Monday, 11 June 2007 20:39 (eighteen years ago)
Red would have obviously gone with "buttinski"
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 11 June 2007 20:46 (eighteen years ago)

would EPMD's "the steve martin" qualify, seeing as he was practically an SNL regular during the 70s?!?
― Eisbaer, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 02:18 (eighteen years ago)
i was gonna post about the redman-piscopo JERSEY connection but i see that its been mentioned. piscopo and red are probably about similarly famous in jersey, actually.
― max, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 02:41 (eighteen years ago)
steve martin x-post
A great song, but for the rules of this thread, no it doesn't qualify. Must specifically reference something that happened on SNL.
(note that my nod to Redman's Piscopo ref in "Da Goodness" isn't numbered since it has nothing to do with Piscopo on SNL specifically).
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 02:44 (eighteen years ago)
Oh shit... how could I forget--two for the price of one in this one!:
