Are there any other references to Gang Starr lyrics in Luke Cage dialog?
All of the Luke Cage season 1 episode titles are Gang Starr song titles.
In season 1, episode 9 "DWYCK", there is a scene where the police psychologist evaluating Misty Knight gives her a can of lemonade, and the following dialog occurs:
Psychologist: It was a popular drink.
Misty: And it still is.
This is a direct reference to the lyric
Lemonade was a popular drink, and it still is
from the Gang Starr song DWYCK.
Are there any other bits of dialog in any episode of Luke Cage that is a direct reference to a lyric in the Gang Starr song that the episode is named after?
What about near direct quotes of lyrics in the dialog, even if it's not the song that the episode was named after?
Best Answer
Well, I can finally answer this question definitively, because I went to an advance screening of episodes 1 & 2 from Luke Cage Season 2 the other night, and the showrunner, Cheo Hodari Coker, was there, so I was able to ask him personally.
Aaaand... the answer is no. He said that that was the only lyric he worked into the story.
