Line 17:
** [[Ear Worm|Says you pal]].
* The intro of ''[[Samurai Champloo]]'' is one of the few well-received examples, which comes as no surprise seeing as the integration of hip hop was the entire premise of the series.
* ''[[
* ''[[Bleach]]'''s 1st OP
* ''[[Naruto Shippuden]]'''s 1st OP.
* A rather odd example: ''[[Naruto]]'''s ''German'' opening is a rap in ''English'', which is also a [[Title Theme Tune]].
* Goku ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei]]'' had a remixed version of Kuusou Rumba that overlayed some of the original song with hip-hop. Some fans of the series consider this to be better than the original version of the song or any of the other remixes.
* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]''{{'}}s main theme wasn't a rap song, but [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avRuZ4QLWek the song used as the Dai-Gurren Brigade's theme] is. The full title is [[Long Title|"Rappu wa Kan no Tamashii da! Muri o Toshite Dori o Kettobasu! Ore-tachi Dai-Guren-dan no Tema o Mimi no Ana Kappojite Yo~ku Kikiyagare!!"]], which roughly translated means "Rap is a Man's Soul! We Kick Reason to the Curb to Make the Impossible Possible! Open up Your Ears and Listen to Our Team Dai-Gurren Theme!!", better known as [[Refrain From Assuming|Raw Raw Fight The Power]].
* CALLING ALL [[Spider Riders|SPI-DAH RI-DAHHHHHHS!!!]] Let's ride.
* ''[[Rail Wars!]]'' starts its ending theme with a rap.
== [[Film]] ==
* Will Smith did Theme Tune Raps for ''[[Men in Black (film)|Men in Black]]'' and ''[[Wild Wild West (film)|Wild Wild West]]''. They were both pretty damn catchy.
* Both of
* ''[[Robin Hood: Men in Tights]]''. What's hip-hop doing in 12th-century England? [[Rule of Funny|Don't ask]].
* The end credits to ''[[Ghostbusters]] 2'' ("On Our Own" by Bobby Brown (yeah, ''him''.)).
Line 38 ⟶ 39:
* ''Amos And Andrew'' has one in "[[Perfectly Cromulent Word|Suburbian]] Nightmare" by Sir Mix-A-Lot, which plays over the credits and recaps the whole plot from the point of view of Samuel L. Jackson's character.
== [[Live
* ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'', where Will Smith tells you a story all about how his life got flipped-turned upside down. This [[Expository Theme Tune]] became extremely popular among [[Image Board]] anons, [[Interrupting Meme|but my mom got scared she said you're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air]].
* ''[[Power Rangers Mystic Force]]'' and ''[[Power Rangers Operation Overdrive]]'' were both utter nonsense in completely different ways.
Line 52 ⟶ 53:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[Donkey Kong]] 64''{{'}}s [[So Bad It's Good|cheesy-yet-still-fun]] "DK Rap", which also appears in the "Kongo Jungle" stage of ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]
** Which is odd, considering DK64 was rated E, and Smash Bros. Melee was rated T...
* ''[[Gears of War]]'' has an ending theme rap composed entirely of in-game lines spoken by Augustus "Cole Train" Cole.
Line 73 ⟶ 74:
* ''[[The Boondocks]]''. The animation style in Boondocks was also influenced by ''[[Samurai Champloo]]''. Of course, it probably would've had one even if it ''wasn't''...
* Yo, [[Danny Phantom|Danny Fenton]], he was just fourteen, when his parents built a very strange machine...
* ''[[Yin Yang Yo!
* Haven't listened it myself, but this editor certainly wasn't surprised to learn that the new ''[[George of the Jungle]]'' cartoon featured a hip hop theme song.{{verify}}
* Parodied on ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' when the family went to see an [[Anachronism Stew]] [[So Bad It's Good]] (at least to Bart) ''[[Zorro]]'' movie.
