Bob Saget will probably best be known to history for his perpetual neat freak role as Danny Tanner from Full House. What isn’t widely known, though, is that he’s also an accomplished stand-up comedian, a director and to many people’s surprise, a muse for some of rap’s biggest stars.
Yes, the same Bob Saget.
In an interview on Hot Ones, in which celebs multi-task talk-show interview with hot-wing consumption, host Sean Evans took time out to hip Bob Saget to the many times he’s been name dropped in rap.
Evan began by quoting Lil Wayne‘s “That’s All I Have.” Wayne raps:
Wet pussy in my cabin
More bitches than a pageant
I keep a house full
Call me Bob Saget
Saget responded, “Hell, he’s saying I’m cool as shit, ’cause you got bitches in your cabin. But these bitches are D.J., Steph and Michelle so they’re not like hoes.” Saget also added that Lil Wayne says that he wants Bob Saget’s money, showing the Danny Tanner knows his rap lyrics too.
Evans then went on to quote Nacho Picasso‘s “Naked Lunch.” Picasso raps:
Dagnabit
Bad habits
I’m Rodge Rabbit
I just took a key bump from Bob Saget
Saget denied offering Picasso cocaine, but he did fess up and say that it was a part of the life. “I’m not the drug guy people think I am,” said Saget. “I have gone through that in the early ’80s. I’m a comedian, so it was impossible to avoid.”
The third example from Machine Gun Kelly‘s “Miss Me?” impressed Saget the most. Kelly raps:
Y’all in family houses like Bob Saget
Both parents
I was on family couches like ‘you don’t want it?’
I’ll wear it
Inheriting hand me downs as a grown man, embarrassed
“That’s actually poetry,” said Saget. “That’s nice to be a part of that. It’s kind of sad, but it’s honest, so I like that. I never heard that.”
The interview had Saget talking about everything from his relationship with Don Rickles and his role as host of America’s Funniest Home Videos to playing himself on Entourage. Bob Saget or Danny Tanner (whatever you want to call him by) has quietly become a pop culture icon, so much so that even the rap world had to tip its cap.
