    - Not sure if movies for cartoons count but Lil Yatchy in the Teen Titans Go movie
    - MC Hammer having his own cartoon show. Kid n Play also had a short lived one too
    - Trae the Truth and Rick Ross were on the cartoon show on Trae's RUclips channel
    - Eminem had his own cartoon show also

    Great video.
    There’s a little known rapper/ graffiti artist from Chicago named Doc Mananoff who is also a 2D animator. He’s one of the first artists to actually make animated music videos for his music himself all hand drawn original art. He knows Common and has some type of ties to the discovery of Kanye West and I saw him do work for Rock the Bells and the Hip Hop Historian JayQuan.
    I think he’s the first rapper who does it all himself. Probably someone to keep an eye out for.

    The reason why the Hot Water episode of American Dad was never referenced again was because during the production of the episode the creators believed that it would be the series finale as there was rumours of FOX cancelling the show the year it aired so they wrote that episode as a final one which is why ‘the twist’ happens at the end and while the series was sold to TBS around 2017/2018 I don’t think there’s ever been a reference to that episode ever since

    Oh man, I was delighted to see this being recommended on my timeline. Great video! I have a ton of suggestions to throw out there, even if some are kinda weird.
    -Estelle on Steven Universe playing Garnet, the song Stronger Than You had some rapping it.
    -Deedee Magno Hall, who is Pearl on Steven Universe, has a noted music career. There's a meme in the fandom where her band "The Party" has a song called "LA" with her rapping: ruclips.net/video/4LiTQPAaSMc/видео.html
    -Del Tha Funkee Homosapien in Craig of the Creek. There's a dedicated episode to him where he plays a kid who might be an alien and he has a tape recorded called Automator. He then has a late season cameo (which is a really hype moment) where they play "Positive Contact" from Deltron 3030.
    -The Beastie Boys are guest stars in the Futurama episode "Hell Is Other Robots"
    -Coolio plays Kwanza Bot on several Futurama episodes.
    -MC Chris has had his connections with Adult Swim on Aqua Teen and Sealab
    -Denzel Curry is in the dub for the anime "Carole and Tuesday" which is all about musicians and a musician competition. He plays as rapper named Ezekiel who gets arrested and then films a protest anthem from his prison cell. (It's pretty dope). And he's not a rapper, but the musician Thundercat is also in the show.
    -Kid Cudi's been doing A LOT of media projects lately, but the big one I'd highlight is this Netflix Movie he did called "Entergalactic." He stars in it, it's an amazingly well done romantic comedy with a spiderverse type of animation. He produced it too and he released an album in relation to the film that plays in the background of the film.
    -Boondocks has several other people, even from the Thugnificient Episode like Busta Rhymes and Nate Dogg
    -The Proud Family has had on Lil Romeo, Ray J, and Big Boy (not Big Boi)
    -Andy Samberg is not necessarily a rapper, but he's done a ton of rapping for The Lonely Island. He's a big part of Hotel Transylvania movies and even at the end of the first movie, they get him AND Adam Sandler to rap the final song called "The Zing"
    -The Jellies was made by Tyler the Creator and features several Odd Future people doing background voices
    There's definitely more out there, but these are some fun ones that stick out to me

    You should make part 2
    Some examples I know are:
    Going off of Snoop Dog's many side quest in cartoons, a lot of them are Adult Cartoons. I do know he was in a kids cartoon, Sanjay and Craig. I know nothing about the show other than he was there and I'm surprised Nickelodeon greenlit him making an appearance
    Method Man and Redman were in a Fairly Odd Parents special. While they didn't play any characters, they did the singing vocals for the Pixies for their song in an America's Got Talent Parody or something like that for the special
    I'm surprised you didn't mention Busta Rhymes being in Boondocks as part of the Lethal Interjection crew
    Lastly, while not playing a character, Ghostface Killah did and sang the theme song for Skunk Fu, at least over in the U.K.
    Update:
    Totally forgot about Snoop Dog again for Mike Tyson Mysteries
