Giggs is a UK rapper from Peckhamin South London. One of the first songs that helped him “blow up” was talking the hardest. It samples the instrumental from Stat Quo’s “Here We Go” beat. Tons of times Giggs has referenced anime in his music, especially shows like Dragon Ball Z. In fact – not only has he mentioned it in interviews and lyrics like th...
Snoop Dogg doesn’t always talk about anime. But when he does its clear he’s a little “deep” into whatever anime he’s referencing. A couple of examples that show Snoop’s love for anime is in his tweet with Neptune from Hyperdimension Neptunia. And also one of his Instagram posts where he animated himself as “Naruto” smoking weed. Naming it Snoopruto...
In one of Hopsin’s songshe mentions Ash Ketchum from Pokemon. Though this by itself doesn’t guarantee he’s a fan of anime. The lyric is: I do have the sneaking suspicion that Hopsin likes anime on a low-key. Even if he’s not the biggest fan. A casual fan, maybe?
Sahbabii is a rapper from Atlanta you might not know of. But that’s irrelevant here. Sahbabii made an obvious song that proves his love for anime. And that song is “Anime World”. As you can imagine based off the title, this song is focused on anime and relates back to it. I think that’s enough of a reason to believe and see how much influence anime...
In his song: Refined, Robb Bank$ spits the lyric: That line says a lot about anime’s influence on Robb Bank$, even if it’s specifically from “Naruto”. Robb Bank$ was even asked about his thoughts on DBZover Naruto. He said: Naruto seems to be his main influence.
In Childish Gambino’s song: “My Shine”, he references DBZwith the lyrics: In general he’s a fan of anime, even if not as much as some other rappers on this list.
Lil Uzi Vert tweeted the news about One Piecelast year, with crying emoji’s plastered all over the tweet. This implies he knows a LOT about One Pieceas an anime series. And then there’s the references to Naruto in the song “New Patek”. He’s clearly one of the biggest rapper anime fans on this list.
Vi Seconds is another rapper like Sahbabii who’s made songs dedicated to anime itself. In Vi Seconds case, he has the song “The best anime rap ever” on his YouTube channel. With lyrics taken from Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, and other series and characters.
XXXTentacion, the rapper who was assassinated in June 2018 had LOVE for the anime industry. And was one of the biggestanime fans in the hip hop community. It makes sense since he’s of the younger generation. He has a song named Inuyasha which we all know is the name of an anime with the same name. In fact – he even had a MAL profile with 279 anime ...
Lupe Fiasco is serious about his interest in anime. So serious he went on to question Childish Gambino’s legit interests in anime. As childish as it may be, Lupe Fiasco’s interests in anime are solidified. And he’s referenced Naruto (and other lines) many times.
