oh Shit!! You got the band back together.
I'm so happy, nockFORCE hit me like a sledgehammer back to college.
That most certainly put a smile on my face .
THANK GOD SOMEONE ELSE REMEMBERS HIP HOP HARRY. I WATCHED THAT SHIT IN KINDERGARTEN !!
:')
Hell yeah!
Funny that Animanics and Regular Show used Shakespeare to argue about how "mean" modern rap is.
Did the writers ignore all the political warfare, death of teenagers, bloody betrayals, and sexual innuendos in Shakespeare's works?
I thought about this while editing. 😭😭😭
That actually reminds of a Dorkly bit; it’s the one where R.R. Martin tackles all the criticism he gets for killing off his characters
Yeah, Shakespeare would probably have enjoyed rap if he lived today.
Literally what I was thinking XD Man Shakespeare may have practically made his own version of English, but he was FILTHY.
Titus Andronicus by itself goes beyond anything hip-hop, or even the pearl-clutchers' concept of hip-hop, does
You dropped this, King. 👑
Yooo the table of round is here
Go back to your dungeon
Oh no
Hey try some Flip Top
Yessirrrr both of my favorite commentary channelss
I was so captured by the novelty of having Tyler the creator and Childish Gambino in Regular show that I didnt really understand how that episode framed hip hop
The irony goes even further when you realize to play the big bad threatening rap bullies they got to of the least threatening rappers in hip hop but now that I think about it that may have been intentional also fun fact the creator of regular show was actually in freaknick
@@johndavis9321 To be fair around that time Tyler was known for lyrics like, "I tell em to eat a dick quicker than mexicans sprint over borders" and "Young enough to get the fucking priest to come flirt with us". Goblin had just released around that time with songs like Transylvania and Troncat.
That’s like my favorite episode of regular because it was fun even if they got defeated by pops
@@yunguboa yeah I was about to say, Tyler was knee deep in that “Kill people
, burn shit, fuck school” phase at the time lol.
It's funny I didn't even watch Regular Show like that but I went out of my way to watch that episode because Tyler was in it lol
If y’all let this video flop I’m making the block hot. I don’t care. I’m lighting up the streets if this don’t pop off
Hey, did you know that Warner Bros finally released Waynehead on iTunes?
The idea of a bunch of animation and hip hop fans rioting makes me way too happy
Bars?

More importantly, thank you for the Nockforce reunion. Bits like "WE'RE GOING OVER THE BAY BRIDGE" are burnt into my mind.
Hey try some Flip Top
Oi oi nick what's good buddy
HEEEY!!! IT'S NICKTENDO!!!
The reason the boondocks has one of the best portrayals of hip hop is because it was written by black people for black people and the other portrayals of hip hop are written from a non personal experience with black culture so they see it as more of an aesthetic or a performance rather than a nuanced experience. It also touches on the theory of afropessimism where non-black people see blackness and black people as props that can used for entertainment without regard to how it effects the people they're taking from; which is why hip hop is so commonly used for a punchline in Entertainment.
Even though I'm not a fan of the Boondocks, I agree with this whole post. You can always tell when black people are involved in the writing when portraying black people in the media. Non black folks use hip hop as a mockery because it isn't seen as "real" music.
Are you talking about the show? Or the comic?
And why I never liked seeing ⚪ people rap on television half the time I was watching TV. Some are okay and some are 🤢 trying too hard.
@@PoliticalAbstract Exactly. Just look at some animes depiction of A "groovy black character". It's obvious the writers have no idea what Ebonics language.
@@yhb4682 Exactly. When you have no experience with other races, let alone actually being a part of a particular ethnic group, it's so evident that the writers don't know what they're doing. It's just like in the 90s with characters like Vince from Recess, why is the only black main character good at sports?
Can guarantee you they didn't have Nicki sing or talk much because she's expensive as fuck. SU dropped a large portion of their funds that year just to have her speak like two lines of dialouge. Baffling.
@@wetsockfullofhotmeat For promo purposes ? like, steven universe didn't have an amazing promo and a lot of it went into their cast money. One of the reasons Garnet didn't speak much at first either was bc Estelle was really expensive fbjrgjrbhjbrj but it did bring attention to the show like i watched steven universe bc of Nicki personnally.
@@dorothywasrighttho5129 nah really cause I got back into the show because Nicki minaj was voice acting
when sugalite showed up later, she didn't say anything except for a single recycled line form her previous showing.
i think the funniest thing about this video is the fact that none of Tariq's fans listen to him when he asks a question.
You reading some of these comments? They not even listening to me in the goddamn video. 😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@ToonrificTariq😭
Bro you really bouta make me rewatch The Boondocks again lol
That shit is amazing
not season 4

It's Funny How These Cartoons had No Idea How Egotistical and Violent Shakespeare Plays Were.
They know it but it's like calling out your own people
This whole "hip hop is soo dangerous/aggressive" thing is wild because gangsta rap hasn't been popular in at least a decade. The biggest rapper around right now is Drake and his music basically just him moaning about how the women in his life aren't statues who only come to life when he decided to give them attention.
Drake is my favorite femboy rapper
It was really amazing to be apart of this. Thanks Tariq. This is a great video
Man, there’s no possible way I could thank you enough for joining me. I really appreciate it.
This was great y’all 👍🏾
Jim get him on the podcast.
@@ToonrificTariq bro teen titans go is great...people that hate it are the edgy weirdos that just want it to be anime...its fun..deal with it..the show is probably the least deserving of hate western cartoon of the 2010's..its so solid
@@razkable Teen Titans: GO! is garbage, just straight up trash. They could have continued making a regular cartoon action show, but instead they go with this bottom of the barrel, cheaply animated crap that looks awful in motion. There is no argument in the world that can change my mind about how awful that show is
I always thought American Dad was blacker than the Cleveland Show and I could never explain why until now
Cause American Dad actually knows how to use the genre of Hip-Hop and R&B naturally without coming off as forced like Cleveland Show.
ever since that ep where steve and gang were singing keith sweat to a bunch of black aunties i knew

Great vid. Love the Gangstalicous eps of Boondocks.

the end of the 2nd ep is so brutal..i love it....such an insane episode of a crazy show can get real for a moment...
Tariq, this came out amazing. I love the way you laid out this essay. Thanks for letting me be a part of this!
Much love. Thank you for joining me, man. 💰💰💰
I didn't expect to see you here o.O
I love OK K.O. u r da best black artists.
Ayo yall better put ok k.o on hbo max or sum
@@rayrenmmkay7249 I don't think he has the power to do that
46:27 "know what i'm sayin', pops?"
"...no."
that gets me every time lmao
Lol 😭😭😂
he really said “it’s fine, theres more Peanuts specials to do” 😭😭😭😭
oh my god, Ian calling you out like "hey man, when you reviewing *my* show?" that was great lmaooo. It's always awesome to hear Ian and Jim together.
I never really thought much about that Billy and Mandy episode because all I remember is the Yo Mama bit but Grim clamoring about the importance of Hip-Hop history is neat. And I also never really thought much about Rap It Up other than "oh, they got these newer rappers here, that's cool" but then you remember that Pops literally kills them with kindness and that's... well it's definitely a Regular Show thing to do but it's rather troublesome
Hearing Teen Titans Go Robin talk about so positively about De La Soul gave me a big ass smile hot damn
The streets better come out for this one, cuz this video's a block party🔥
Delhi Del. 💰💰💰💰
@@ToonrificTariq bro that gerald clip from the first hey arnold movie when he says helga kills me...hes so funny in that film...and i am not into brown hair animated girls but damn that spy agent was sexy...
Fun fact: Will.I.Am. Made the theme song for samurai jack
WHAT
what ever happened to the blind nigga that was in the black eyed peas?
Finally, the Nutshack gets the credit it deserves: a passing mention.
I'd rather the Power Puff Girls just call me a slur than EVER pull that shit again
Now I can see why Craig McCracken hated the Reboot, they shat all over his original creation.
As someone who hasn't gotten around to watching the boondocks yet, it really blows me away with how gorgeous it is, like how is that a tv show!?
Better question: how is that an _adult_ cartoon? On Adult Swim? The only other adult cartoon I can think of that looks remotely that good is Venture Bros.
@@kimifw58 And even then, that show only starts to look REALLY good from season 2 and on.
Wait till u see the fight sequences
Same animation crew as the anime Samurai Champloo that’s why
Oh you are in for a treat
I think now that loving hip hop is normal and part of mainstream pop culture, the suburban white boy fan energy has moved over to the internet kids who are activists but somehow get very confused when told about their use of AAVE.

@@lesegonzimande6180 i felt that
@@lesegonzimande6180 bars
Early 2000s cartoons really had a lot of hip hop and urban influence given that gangster and bling rap was really poppin. It really felt a lot like white men pandering the same way Rocket Power radiated that “X-TREME MILLENNIUM” energy of the 90s or the “LOL RANDOM XD” of the ‘10s. So the fact that so many featured hip hop and urban elements in the day yet still had minimal black casts and made rap itself seem scary and intimidating is honestly infuriating.
So just white propaganda?💀😭
Fun Fact: They planned on having Ludacris voice Thugnifficent, but man never called back. And for last second planning he was voiced by somebody who worked on the show, Carl Jones.
DUDE mike lu and og, lulu, SCOOB, Charlie Brown, and invaded are my favorite videos of yours! The view count doesn’t reflect the quality at all. They deserve to have way more views my guy
De La Soul being on Teen Titans Go is exactly what I expect from that show. They do have some out there episodes.
I might have to look up that episode
That break where you didn’t use the joke you planned because you don’t know who you are gonna work for in the future. Really resonated with me. I do graphic work for musicians and I have to tell myself to not jump on the shade room comments because I might ruin my chances in the future 😂
Just letting you know about a small fact about Static Shock.
The reason the original comic, along with the Milestone Comics line, a black independent comic book company, failed is because there was a lot of corporate meddling behind the scenes of the cartoon, as merchandising was constantly pushed back, and that comic stores in the 90's and early 00's refused to sell black comic books because they believed black comics and stories wouldn't sell and it got worse when Static Shock's creator Dwayne McDuffie passed away just months before Static was supposed to get his reboot with DC, despite Milestone being sought by DC for Static alone.
As of December of 2020, Milestone Comics has finished the lawsuit against DC for shelving the many IPs, including Static Shock, Icon & Rocket, Hardware, and many others. Static is supposed to happen sometime this year, while others are to follow.
You can also see Static Issue #1 blown-up in the poolhouse on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
ian saying “i’m waiting for the ok ko video tariq” had the same energy as saying “hey pan” @ that one comic con panel 💀💀💀 i wheezed
Here before 1 mil
I'm a white guy who grew up on cartoons but my knowledge and consumption of hip hop is woefully incomplete. Having you break down all these shows featuring hip hop culture that I grew up on gave me a new perspective that I hadn't considered before in many ways how it's portrayed. A very insightful video, great work.
Fun Fact: Ludacris was supposed to play Thugnificent as a trade for his album cover being drawn, but when it came time to record he ignored their phone calls and eventually told them since he didn't get a cover, he wouldn't do it
I love all your vids. But these "Analysis" type ones will ALWAYS be my favorite.
great video.
SAME
I made the small mistake of watching this while trying to do accounting school work and eating dinner. I choked too many times man, loved this. Worth it.
man your editing style is like if nostalgia critic was chill and smoked blunts
Loveeee this lol.
Imma say this, you talking about Kim Possible makes me want to see a full video on it because I’ve been re-watching the series 🙏🏾🙏🏾🥺
offbeat kiki’s gonna do one soon!
Thank you from a black, Canadian, hip hop loving animator.
...
Also I liked the peanuts specials. :p
Ngl tho middle school me was GEEKED when Tyler the Creator & Childish Gambino were on Regular Show. Its funny how the personas they represented on the show are FAR from how they are viewed now.
And let's not forget that the Boondocks Theme song is the greatest Hip-Hop theme in cartoon history
Thanks for dropping knowledge 🙏
This honestly opened my eyes. I don't listen to hip hop, I'm just some nerd raised on alternative and it's cool to see the perspective of someone else for once.
Just the fact that De La Soul episode even exists & is as great as it is just makes me smile... this vid is pure excellence!
YingYangYo????
I thoughts niggas forgot about that one. It's something else, I was rewatching it recently bc one of my homies swears it never existed.
Great video bro, another banger as per usual :]
Yin Yang Yo is quite good not bad at all
I didn’t expect this to be over an hour but I can’t wait
I never realize how long they are, but always get a great surprise! Love it!
I remember when a white friend I had in highschool named Brittney Hennessy talked about how she thought rap wasn't music because of its structure. Meanwhile she liked Eminem because he "talked about real issues", as if a MAJORITY of black rap artists don't.
I had never heard something so idiotic! 😑🙄
Wtf structure she talking about that Eminem wasn't using??
Like. Don't get me wrong. I'm white, right? But I enjoy rap. And it drives me absolutely nuts when people think all rap is "fuck bitches get money" like. NO. There's tons of stuff by artists they've never heard of, rapping about anything and everything.
Idk, it gets md heated when rap, as an art, is brushed off.
your friend might be related to Ben Shapiro tbh
It came from talking about Black Issues. Tell that girl bye. 💀
@@PaintedHoundie Exactly. 💀
you put way too much info about yourself online, your youtube alias leads directly to your instagram with your full name, which can be used to spit out your fastpeoplesearch info (address, phone number, family members, etc) and linkdin. I could prob find this chick, don't give out other people's names without their permission.

I was SOOOO happy to hear Ian Jones Courtey on this video!!! (I DIED when he called you out for not reviewing OK KO yet, always glad to see that show get some news and rep😂😂😂)
Man, animated 50 Cent in 'The Simpsons' don't look like the real guy at all.
fofty plz.
That's fairly close to how he looked at the time the episode originally aired.
Simpsons was really bad at celebrity caricatures at first
For the record, the SCOOB and the Mike Lu and Og videos are my favorite videos of yours cuz they're SO funny.
The One Piece rap is the most disrespected theme song ever, shit was GOATed
I like how they tried to combine rap with a sea shanty-type song
@@tiablue9106 theres a mash up of the Rap Theme Song with clips of Pirates of the Carribean and its just fantastic
The fact 4kids hating One Piece fans were so happy Funimation took over while ignoring this was the company who looked at Dragon Ball GT and said _"You know whats missing from this melodic fever dream? RAP AND BASS GUITARS!!"_ will always be funny to me.
@@ThexDynastxQueen tbf I don't think that's rlly comparable. The 4Kids version of One Piece hardly feels like actual One Piece. Ppl were glad Funi got it bc it meant they'd get a better dub. For all the mistakes Funi's made I doubt anyone would think they'd handle One Piece as poorly as 4Kids did
@@tiablue9106 all jokes aside its an ambitious concept. I meN, pirate metal exists after all
I met Jim from Nockforce a couple of years ago when I was 16, he was a really nice guy and he even gave me these stickers and I got a picture with him.
Hoping Static Shock gets a mention, with the little soundtrack 'sting' each hero and villain had.
Update: Yay! It came up. Well, Static itself did, not the little musical character themes. Which, admittedly, were not plot relevant.
Cartoons have a long way to go in terms of critiquing and paying respect towards hip hop culture. We need more people within the culture to help those that want to pay respect to it and understand the art form. The more animators keep trying to tell these stories the better it will get. With every fail there’s an Teen Titans Go. It’s gonna get better before it gets worse.
You are indisputably in the top three most thoughtful content creators I follow. I really appreciate the effort you put into every video. It's obvious you only cover things about which you're passionate, which really separates you from the regurgitated content of the most "popular" creators. Like, I've literally never cared about Peanuts. But I care about your take on Peanuts haha. Just, thanks for all of it, and I hope you know you're insanely good at what you do.
“What the- NAKED BROTHERS? You ain’t watching no show called Naked Brothers!”
huh....that's nostalgic
Subconsciously, for many intricate reasons, I've always associated Ninja Turtles and Hip-Hop. Both in the original cartoon itself and of the franchise in general.
Also, love you videos, bro
Vanilla Ice's ninja wrap in the second movie and the CGI show having a rap theme song
Nah they're diverse of black Italian and Asian. The dudes literally have Italian names and mickey possibly like rock music and talk like a yt surfer dude from Cali. Raph talks like a Italian new yorker. Leo and Don talk like they from Midwest or something. Maybe it blk because of the streets and background but non blks can be from gritty looking areas too though. We associating poor buildings portholes, trash on the sidewalk as black environments?
@@MugenWarriorKunhe didn’t say anything about race lol where tf did that come from?
@@MugenWarriorKunDude chill they are turtles and if you want to humanize them they could literally be of any race you want
The rap in the first movie was fire, and Mickey had a bit of break dancing in his fighting style. Plus, there's all the great hip hop songs in the newest animates tmnt movie
The first part with the Boondocks and talking about idolizing people who do bad things reminds me of being younger and looking up to mobsters in mafia movies like Goodfellas - it wasn't until I was like in my late 20s to realize that these people are selfish criminals
I find hilarious the idea of people pretending Shakespeare is "nice", haven't you read Titus? lol
It's a beautiful way to show the culture of hip hop and how it's mashed and mushed into the life of cartoons and animation, two things most of us have grown up with our whole lives
It’s more of a section, hip hop is massive so to use a stereotype to generalise it is pretty simple
Nice to see someone giving Nockforce the respect it most definitely deserves.
Screw bedtime stories, gonna show this to my children at night.
The fuckin “still waiting for that ok ko review” skit from the interview killed me 😂
you really be doin god’s work in the cartoon community
It’s that weird intersection of black culture and animation culture for me.
I believe the Boondocks is the only show that I can think of that has this understanding of hip hop. While it does mock the outlandish culture, its fine in a way that respects the art form as a whole. The atmosphere, the music and the tone all feel authentically hip hop.
While I agree that hey Arnold and Class of 3000 aren't hip hop per se, they do have a appreciation for jazz blues and other forms of music that hip hop is inspired from. Love the videos, keep up the good work.
23:10 "Microphone check one, two, what is this?" is a direct reference to the song Buggin' Out by A Tribe Called Quest, its how Phife Dog starts the first verse
One of the greatest “nerd beats real MC in rap battle” is from the Brak Show. Brought in Cee-lo before his gnarls comeback as a multimouthed beatboxing singing and rapping alien named Prime Cut. I still get his verse stuck in my head sometimes.
Yo but seriously Ron didn’t have to do all that for that song but we glad he did. And it’s okay you can say blue face.
Great vid as always. I kinda can't deal with that clip of Nancy Cartwright rapping. I always feel like I need to leave the room during it.
Glad you called out that Regular Show episode. I get what they're going for, picking a character like Pops as the foil. But it didn't feel like Pops really learned much about the genre, he just kinda Popsplained to them about positivity or whatever. I like that he did something true to himself (like Ron in that Kim Possible) but they didn't try to meet them halfway.
A good ass video, always felt hip hop was just in used as an easy joke in cartoons
Any time you see the multiple panels with different characters on a Tariq video thumbnail, you know it about to be a classic.
Haven't even watched but can tell it's one of your best.
"You know who my favorite rapper when I was your age? Ice Cube. He was soo gangsta I used to have dreams he would come to my house and murder my whole family" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was actually the saddest part to me. I thought he said that because his family knew he was gay and treated him like shit because of it. A la Moonlight or something.
@@abnormpsych17 possibly give the scene more depth
10:28 as a fan of Kim Possible, I never even realized this distinction! Ron was really speaking from the heart
The regular show and animaniacs episodes were very similar but carried different messages.
The animaniacs one said that it’s cool to rap/express yourself as long as you don’t disrespect others, which is why Yakko and the rapper compromise at the end (pretty rare conclusion for animaniacs).
The regular show one pretty much labeled rap “poetry but with insults”, and that insulting nature is why the rappers needed to “put down” via poetry and ends with them being defeated instead of making up with the protags like the animaniacs.
how did you skim past del on craig of the creek? that was definitely a love letter to del. they invested in his character enough to break the concept of their reality to have his character be a true rendition of deltron
The episode isn’t about the culture of hip hop and this video is about episodes that are about the culture of hip hop. 🥴
@@ToonrificTariq damn I feel like a fool. I just love that episode. My bad
Naked Mole Rap is the only hip hop song Hank Hill would sing at karaoke and no I will not be explaining.
Whilst I get your point about Yakko also acting mean, that's kinda just how Animaniacs episodes play out. The Warners encounter an "special friend" (a jerk), then they proceed to annoy them by giving them a taste of their own medicine until said "special friend" gives up. I still like the segment because the ending is pretty rare for Animaniacs, usually the Warners win by making their opponent go crazy but here they come to an understanding. That and the rap battle was fun.
But I still enjoyed this video, it was very interesting to watch!
This video just proved that Teen Titans Go! Is the greatest cartoon ever.
TTG has never been and will never been the greatest cartoon ever.
@@animefan25 found the owner of De La Soul's masters
It gets way more hate than it deserves, honestly
@@SpoopySquid never seen something get as much criticism as it gets for being not being something it's not trying to be.
It's not even that bad. Yes there are some truly terrible episodes but most of the time it's actually pretty funny
"Magical Brooklyn is where they live , Elves and Dwarves is who they hang out with"
I'm surprised the "Catching Villains" song didn't get tossed into this 😂
I really liked how you put the end of the "misc." section. A lot of critiques of broader trends in media, especially with regard to representation, aren't *necessarily* about any individual depiction being bad. It's often more about the general trend. Really frustrates me when bad-faith arguers try to claim that a critique of X in media is inherently arguing that all media portraying X is bad.
50:54 I was appalled. Didn’t expect it
lisa's saying "WE GOT BEETS" would be the dopest producer tag
Dankmus just made a song with it.
@@raze_ As soon as I heard "WE GOT BEETS!" I immediately started hearing that song in my head
Not gonna lie, even if it doesn't fit the rules I'd put Spiderverse as an honorable mention. It's pretty much one of the only films that lets the rappers do their thing and I really appreciate that.
I mean the only thing a hip hop head was pointing out was the Biggie scene
Explain??
My man just got roasted by Ian Jones Quartey… G.O.A.T. status.
There's a weird thing with Shakespeare where people act like reading his plays makes you more cultured or some shit, and I think it's mostly because it's old and harder to read without references. Saying hop isn't as good as Shakespeare is kinda like getting annoyed that a horror movie has an unhappy feel to it compared to a romantic comedy, like what the fuck
This reminds me of Billie Eilish calling all rappers fake and constantly making things up, but that her music and “rap” is storytelling. Even though a lot of her lyrics is nonsensical and talking about seducing peoples dads lol
Even though it came out after this video did, "Karma's World" on Netflix is definitely worth a look on this front. It was developed by Ludacris and pretty much embraces hip-hop all over its sleeves, on top of being a very charming show on its own.
tariq, can i just say ur videos are so comforting in a way. i've been feeling pretty stressed recently and watching your videos is like chilling out with a friend who is very cool and also knows lots about cartoons and stuff. keep doing what you do!
Babe wake up ToonrificTariq uploaded
I wonder what you think of Deltron in Craig of the creek, hes like my absolute favorite character in that show and his whole entire thing is that the music he sings represents freedom and expression in the future, along with his mission which is literally to fight ignorance and bigotry
just discovered this channel and I actually fucking love the Simpsons/music overlay edits so much
It's so rare to see an hour long video that's actually entertaining all the way through. Amazing video, you have a great energy.
I hope you keep making the videos you want to make.
That ain’t been working out too good, g.
@@ToonrificTariq Not that I'm in any position to be giving advice. But don't get discouraged. The content you want to make might not be as successful what people scream in the comments about. It does however cultivate an audience who genuinely supports and fucks with you.
aight, the Short Bus Shawty acknowledgement took me way back
"Im man of the house like Oscar" these intros stay fire.

Regardless, another great video here.
