By now, you all don't need an introduction to Amber Rose. Like it or not, she's a big deal in hip-hop. The former stripper turned video girl first caught the eye of Kanye West in Ludacris' "What Them Girls Like" video, and the two soon began a relationship that lasted almost two years. After 'Ye, she moved on to Wiz Khalifa, whom she married two years later. Somehow between marriage and a kid, Rose continued to cement herself as one of the baddest bitches in hip-hop. If you haven't checked her Instagram... well, of course you've checked her Instagram.
Her entry in to the hip-hop vernacular is evidenced by her appearance in countless rap lryicslyrics, from those of her own former hubby to Lil Wayne to Kevin Gates. Amber also has two singles to her own name, "Fame," which features a Wiz verse, and "Loaded," though we'll let you explore her songwriting skills on your own time.
Scroll through the list to see the 10 best Amber Rose name-drops.
COVER
Kevin Gates - Flicka Da Wrist
"Amber Rose they messed over my nigga, when I get the rip I expect her to lie to me"
We know Gates loves the booty, so his Amber reference isn't surprising. On his remix of Chedda da Connect's "Flicka Da Wrist," he claims Amber Rose, or perhaps an unnamed unfaithful woman, "messed over" a homie. Either Way, whether its Amber or not, Kev will be ready.
P Reign - Realest in the City (feat. Meek Mill & PARTYNEXTDOOR)
"Man I kill the town, seven seater in the Cherokee / White on white ghost, that's my little Amber Rose"
In addition to his Jeep Cherokee, Toronto's P Reign also has a Rolls-Royce Ghost, white on the inside and out... We also assume he went for the wide-body.
Lil Wayne - Wasted
"We are fine nigga, like Amber Rose / We ball nigga, like Jalen Rose"
Though one of Weezy's worst rhymes on No Ceilings, off his remix to Gucci's "Wasted," Wayne's shout-out to Amber shows, circa 2009, she was one of the hottest commodities in the game. Is the same true today? On a side note, maybe Weezy's fine standards aren't as high as we thought, if, balling-wise, all he's got is Jalen Rose...
YG - I Like Head
"Amber Rose is the only bitch that look good bald head / I need all head, no cuts, I need that good make a nigga say hold up'"
Early YG & Mustard, off 4 Hunnid Degreez, is more ratchet than ever, though, surprisingly, YG gives Amber a compliment here, saying no other woman can rock the bald cut. When it comes to his own head, though, there'll be no shortcuts.
Danny Brown - Dope Fiend Rental (feat. Schoolboy Q)
"Now shut up bitch and get the Amber Rose"
We're not exactly sure what Q is commanding his woman to do here, but it probably has something to do with the Danny Brown-sung hook: "Open wide ho!"
2 Chainz - Yuck
"Cut the top off, call it Amber Rose / Just bought a big body, time to paint the toes"
Again, Tity compares Amber to a vehicle: big body, no top (presumably referring to her head).
Wiz Khalifa - Spotlight
"All my bitches bad like Mike / No homo, Amber Rose, Kim Kardash type"
Of course Wiz has mentioned his baby momma a few times in his raps, though this line, off Kush & Orange Juice, came right before they started dating. Wiz then scooped Amber after she left Kanye, who, ended up with Kim. I'm sure neither woman would appreciate being put in the same "type," though they're clearly both bad bitches.
Kid Ink - What I Do
"Cock back and unload / I have you niggas leaking like Amber Rose"
Hmm, maybe Ink is talking about Amber's illicit photos "leaking" on the Internet... Whatever other leaks he has in mind, we don't wanna know.
Juelz Santana - Everything Is Good (feat. Wiz Khalifa)
"Went and got a zip from my nigga Wiz / I said, 'What's this?' He said, 'Amber Rose'"
Juelz invites Wiz to smoke up on this track off his 2013 God Will'n tape, and Wiz gives him a bag of weed that he's named after his wife. We already know Wiz has his own "Khalifa Kush"; Is "Amber Rose" a sativa or an indica?
The Game
Lastly, we have Amber's biggest fan, The Game. Though he often degrades her, "Amber Rose" has appeared in six different Game songs. We now know Game likes to recycle material, but this obsession runs a little too deep.
She Wanna Have My Baby (feat. Trey Songz)
"Everybody fucking Amber Rose / Is the pussy good? Only Kanye and Cameron know"
Oh really?
"Have you ever fucked a millionaire in the back of the Rolls / With Amber Rose? I ain't talkin' bout no"
...(basic bitch). Ouch.
"I'mma give him some advice: Get rid of Amber Rose! / I'mma tell you how she get down / I was at Dig's afterparty, whisperin' to Chris Brown / I seen Chris turn his head like 'No!' / Then "Gold Digger" came on, I pointed like, "hoe!"
On this track (also a Jay Z diss) from '09, Game gives Kanye some advice, ratting on Amber for putting the moves on Chris Brown.
Keepin It Real
"Nigga the devil wears Prada / Amber Rose wears nada, and that's how she should keep it"
Here, Game bites a line from 'Ye's "Can't Tell Me Nothing," though replaces "Eve" with Amber Rose. Not sure about that one.
"Cut the top of that hoe and call that bitch Amber Rose"
"I'm in the Amber Rose Rolls with some Amber Rose hoes / Sorry Wiz, that's how the rap shit is / You can take it as a shot or free promo"
Game sure has given Wiz a lot of free promo. Whatta guy.
