What Are Hip-Hop’s Favorite Anime? | Genius News

From lyrical name-drops to references in music videos, hip-hop has a close relationship with anime. In early 2018, Genius covered how often ‘Dragon Ball Z’ appears in lyrics, but it’s not the only anime that gets love from rappers. A few examples are ‘Naruto,’ which often gets mentioned for its villains, and ‘Akira,’ which has influenced Kanye West and Logic. Other popular anime in hip-hop are ‘Attack on Titan,’ ‘Death Note,’ ‘Trigun,’ and ‘Inuyasha.’
