Arrow Official Lexus mentioned in music thread

I've been thinking of starting this thread for a while now. Tons of rappers use the name in their songs. I did some research and the Lexus name is scond only to Mercedes Benz in references, Gucci 3rd and Hennessey 4th. I actually burnt a cd with all songs referencing the Lexus name so there are quite a few ( I ran out of minutes on 1 cd) So with a few recent threads/posts referencing hip hop and rap I thought it might be a good time for this. So this is how we'll do it. Limit of one reference per post (I don't want someone to shout them all out at once) If you can name the artist and title along with the line it's in. So i'll start out with an easy one.

Tupac ft/ Dru Down and YGD aka The Topp Dogg- All Bout U

Top Dogg: "From the limos, down to the Lexus coupes
We be flossin, and all females love that"

Interesting tid bit about this song, it was originally on his album All Eyez On Me.... and instead of Top Dogg, it was Snoop Dogg with a different set of lyrics on the 4th verse. When this song was released later on Greatest Hits, they completely took out Snoop Dogg, and replaced the 4th verse with lyrics by Top Dogg... who also seems to sound A LOT like Snoop. I wonder what the story behind this switch was?

From Snoop Dogg's debut album "Doggystyle"...the song is called "Tha Shiznit" and was rumored to be a complete freestyle that they captured this on tape:

"... cuz that be me i'm servin um, swervin in the Coupe, the Lexus flexes from Long Beach to Texas!"

...and Kurupt, "cause I'm rollin' a Lexus, fawk a Benz, and so many new friends"

Busta Rhymes track: I know what you want

"We started out broke
Constantly on a roll
Cuttin' up in the streets like we would never get old
Went from Lucy's and buses to fifty cent sodas
And Novas to Hondas to Lexus to Rovers"

Bubble eyed G-S on they teams wit beats"

Too Short:
"I had a '94 Lexus,Rolexes,I sold it all
Now I can't afford breakfast"

E-40

" I'm in the S C 4 double O
Sitting real low stick in the flo' oh

Take her for a ride in my blue Lex Luthor (Lex Luth ah)"

Apparantly Nelly is a Lexus fan:

Nelly - "CG2"
It not a game, I went from a GS to a LS
And LS
don't mean low self-esteem

Nelly - "Steal the Show"
Heard the grapevine you lookin for me couldn't be
Cause if it was you would be bookin from me
Shook when you see Nelly rollin in the GS3
Hangin out the sunroof like bing bing bing
Back the bar up pop the trunk now

Kanye West - All Falls Down
Cause that's enough money to buy her a few pairs of new Airs
Cause her baby daddy don't really care
She's so precious with the peer pressure
Couldn't afford a car so she named her daughter Alexus (a Lexus)

Kanye West - Last Call
Flow infectious, give me 10 seconds
I'll have a buzz bigger than insects in Texas
It's funny how wasn't nobody interested
'Til the night I almost killed myself in Lexus.

(refers to his car crash)

Kanye West - Breathe In Breathe Out feat. Ludacris
Whatever comes first I'm prepared for the worst
Whatever comes second I'll be there with my weapon
Pullin' up in them Lexuses, one on both hands
So I guess them GSes was ambidextrous.

Lloyd Banks - I'm So Fly
Look around I got 40 clones now look down that's 40 stones
And that's only in the necklace
I'm bony and I'm reckless (vroom) there's Tony in a Lexus

Big Tymerz - Ballin'
I bought a woman on gold to match my goals
And I don't have to drop one of my hoes
I got a Lexus and a Benz

Twista and the Speedknot Mobstas - In Your World
Let's dance, while we get our groove on I get known
If it's on, then Lexus she gon' get home
...
[chorus]
But still some phonies, call me when you need me
Sit down with my homies, pull up in my Lexus
Let me in your world

B.G. - Get Your Shine On
Keys come from overseas in a submarine under water
Still I'm gon ride the legend monday, ride the Lex tuesday
...
nd quick to lil freak on these satin silk sheets
Now playa, rufus playin in the Lexus, gangsta got a q-5

Yungstar - Knockin' Pictures Off Da Wall
Now we mobbin for real flippin' Lexus to deal
Mashin 90 on the field with a dark senorita
...
Exotic beaches and peaches, white tigers on leashes
we gonna shine on our way to the lane the speed on our Lexus increases
...
Chingale my padre,bought a Lexus for my madre
red bubble lense smoking swishas on the highway

Outkast - Decatur Psalm
I say "What?" "Big Time got popped in his Benzo!"
I said "Damn man, I'm riding in his Lexus
...
I ain't know that Bill Clampett wanted some too
You tell his folks that I'm sorry bout that Lexus

Eminem - Never 2 Far
can't live like this for the rest of my life man,
bumming rides everywhere I go
Yeah, what's up with Lexus' and Land cruisers'?

Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - Straighten It Out
Every time we sample all the past time greats
Stick it in the SP-1200 beat, I make a loop
Lovely, where the Troop in a Lexus coupe

Oddly enough, Straighten it out's music video is the only one that Lexus allowed the SC400 to be used in.

from the pr archives. 1993 seems a long time ago.

Lexus Is Rapping to the Top with Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth

TORRANCE, Calif. (January 20, 1993) -- While most people think of Lexus as appealing to the classical or jazz music set, the luxury division of Toyota is also making inroads into the rap music culture.

The Lexus SC 400 sport coupe is featured in Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth's "Straighten it Out,'' which has been on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles Chart for 13 weeks and the Hot Rap Singles Chart for nine weeks.

"Woman or man, the car of the future is the Lexus Coupe or Sedan,' (how true is this )' says C.L. Smooth, who wrote the lyrics to `Straighten it Out.' "It's my dream car. It shows my measurement of success but in a subtle way. There's no ned to put accessories on or in this car. It comes fully loaded. In '93 Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth will be behind the wheel of a new 400 SC!''

Lexus executives were at first reluctant to participate, but gave their approval after reviewing the song's lyrics. "Straighten it Out'' shows that rewards, such as Lexus automobiles, are possible if one straightens out his life.
Just a little piece of info

gotta finish painting now.
