Last week, when Game dropped his latest track, "She Wanna Have My Baby," we couldn't help but notice the way he kicked the song off: "Everybody fucking Amber Rose/Is the pussy good? Only Kanye camera knows." True, Game loves to namedrop anyone associated with rapping in his rhymes, but when it comes to Amber Rose, he's not the only one.

We first got to know the former stripper from Philadelphia in 2009 after rumors spread that she was dating Kanye West. After those rumors were confirmed, Amber slowly became a celebrity unto herself, appearing in numerous magazines (including a classic Complex spread) and lighting up gossip blogs. Many may have thought her 15 minutes were up when she broke up with Yeezy last year, but then she started dating Wiz Khalifa—who recently tattooed her name on his hand.

She may be a kept woman, but that doesn't mean rappers have stopped namedropping her. So here's 10 Amber Rose Lyrical References.

So Wavy

Not Available Interstitial

Game “I’m So Wavy” (2009)

Lyrics: “‘Ye’s my nigga, so, I’m gonna give him some advice/Get rid of Amber Rose/I’mma tell you how she get down/I was at Diddy’s afterparty, sipping Cris, she was whispering at Chris Brown/I seen Chris turn his head like, ‘No’/Then ‘Gold Digger’ came on, I pointed like, ‘Ho!’”

Complex says: Even though Game and Yeezy have been cool for years, we’re guessing ‘Ye didn’t appreciate Game dissing his Big Bro Jigga and his main squeeze at the time. But then again, Kanye did team up with Game on “Wouldn’t Get Far” where Game called out video vixens like Melyssa Ford. So we might have to chalk that one up to karma. Jayceon Taylor: Dry-snitching on hoes since 2006.

Venus vs Mars

Jay-Z “Venus vs Mars (Live)” (2009)

Lyrics: “Said I party too much, so shorty got fed up/Shorty got Amber Rose, shaved her whole head up.”

Complex says: While performing at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Jigga replaced Britney Spears’ name with Amber Rose’s. His original name-drop was in reference to the infamous instance when Britney cut her hair so the drapes could match the carpet in a fit of celebrity insanity. Meanwhile, Amber Rose is known for her signature Cesar. So admit it, Amber Rose was the first bald chick you could honestly say was smoking hot.

Wasted

Lil Wayne “Wasted” (2009)

Lyrics: “We are fine nigga, like Amber Rose/We ball nigga, like Jalen Rose.”

Complex says: Okay fine, this isn’t one of Weezy’s cleverest couplets. But “Wasted”—and really, most of the songs on No Ceilings—is so loaded with witty lines that we’re willing to look the other way.

I'm Raw

Fabolous “I’m Raw” (2010)

Lyrics: “Don't be shy, let them cameras expose you/The worst that can happen is I Amber Rose you/People running up like, ‘Damn, I knows you, hey, ain't you?’ ‘Yeah, I am that bitch.’”

Complex says: We totally believe Amber would respond with “I am that bitch” if someone approached her with questions like that. In fact, we’re willing to bet she probably went to Mark Zuckerburger’s guy and bought business cards that read, “I am that bitch."

Going In For The Kill

Jim Jones “Going In For The Kill” (2010)

Lyrics: “I'm drunk off that Rosé, Amber with the Cesar/I'm standing on the couch, hammered, blowing reefer.”

Complex says: Obviously, club nights is probably one of the the reasons Jones loves life. But as much as we support getting drunk and standing up on couches, we always remind everyone not to drink and drive. Unless you want your car to end up looking like this.

Spotlight

Wiz Khalifa f/ Killa Kyleon “Spotlight” (2010)

Lyrics: “All my bitches bad like Mike, no homo, Amber Rose, Kim Kardash-type/5 star chicks, first class like my last flight.” (Killa Kyleon)

Complex says: Little did Killa Kyleon know—or Wiz for that matter—that Wiz would be dating Amber Rose mere months after this song came out. So now that Wiz held down his end, all Killa Kyleon needs to do is start dating Kim Kardashian. Lucky for him, we hear she’s into black guys.

Man Purses

Consequence “Man Purses” (2010)

Lyrics: "A lot of leaders expect followers, to be yes men, cock suckers, and swallowers, but the problem was/I wasn’t made to quit, I’d rather rock the boat, and make the sailor sick/And the one common thread that’s in the tailor’s kid, my crew ain't been the same since Amber Rose and Taylor Swift."

Complex says: Cons recently promised that his upcoming Movies On Demand 3 would be the most controversial project hip-hop has seen in a long time. And if he starts airing out G.O.O.D. Music’s dirty laundry, he might be right.

Monster

Kanye West f/ Nicki Minaj, Bon Iver, Jay-Z, & Rick Ross “Monster” (2010)

Lyrics: “Besides ‘Ye they can’t stand besides me/I think you, me, and Amb should menage Friday.” (Nicki Minaj)

Complex says: If this line actually came true (and it very well may have), it’s just another reminder that ‘Ye’s life is a thousand times more awesome than ours.

Luv of My Life

Not Available Interstitial

DJ Quik “Luv of My Life” (2011)

Lyrics: “It's such a beautiful sight, just like Amber Rose/The way she sits at the light, hit a pose.”

Complex says: Nah, Amber didn’t just sit at the light, she basked in it. How else do you explain topless photos of her at the beach? Or Kanye changing the lyrics to "Stronger" and saying, “All I wanted was a blonde dyke, but all she wanted was the limelight.”

Keeping It Real

Not Available Interstitial

Game “Keeping It Real” (2011)

 

Lyrics: “Nigga the devil wears Prada/Amber Rose wears nada/And that's how she should keep it.”

Complex says: Game inspired this post and started it off, so it’s only right he closes things out as well. If your starting to think Game is somehow obessed with Rose because he’s mentioned her three times, just think about how many times he’s referenced Dr. Dre on a song.
