Eminem and more rap heavyweights have laced their lyrics with some of the best Star Wars shoutouts ever dropped. The Force isn’t just strong—it’s spitting fire through hip hop. From JAY-Z’s slick lines to Big Sean’s clever punches, and Mac Miller’s cosmic flow to Eminem’s razor-sharp rhymes, these artists prove that a galaxy far, far away lives right in the heart of the game.
The Force is strong with hip hop. Over the years, Star Wars has inspired countless bars from some of the game’s biggest names, from JAY-Z and Big Sean to Mac Miller and Eminem.
So, Revolt.tv rounded up 14 of the best rap lyrics inspired by Star Wars, and naturally, Eminem made the cut in the Top 5.
1. “Pink Toes” – Childish Gambino
She on my back about it (C-3PO, C-3PO, C-3PO)
2. “Hypnotize” – The Notorious B.I.G.
Hit ’em with the Force like Obi
3. “Funny Papers” – Mac Miller
Oh shit, here come the icebreaker
It’s danger when he’s bringin’ out the lightsaber
4. “X-Wing” – Denzel Curry
If I make that bitch an inch taller, then I upgrade to a Skywalker
5. “Stay Wide Awake” – Eminem
Jump out on you now like I was a Jawa from fuckin’ Star Wars
Jabba the Hutt, beddy-bye-bye, beddy-bye-bye, it’s time to die-die
Only Eminem could turn a pair of the weirdest Star Wars characters — the scurrying Jawas and the slug-like Jabba — into something both absurd and threatening. However, it is not the only time Em dipped into the Star Wars lore for inspiration. Marshall’s fascination with the darker side of the galaxy goes back years, from name-dropping Darth Vader in “Rain Man” to his more recent nods to Leia and Obi-Wan in 2024’s “Tobey”.
