Kanye West & Jay-Z - Welcome to the Jungle - Watch the Throne - YouTube

"Black Axl Rose, Move halfs and wholes"
&
"Rest in peace to the leader of the Jackson 5"

Now that is what I call an awesome intro. The feedback while saying it and the drummer counting it off leads me to believe.

Hootie and the Blowfish "Let her Cry"

"She says dad's the one I love the most, but Stipe's not far behind." The reference is to Michael Stipe of REM.

Ke$sha "Tik Tok"

"And now, the dudes are lining up cause they hear we got swagger
But we kick em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger"

I don't know any other songs by Ke$ha, but I LOVE this video of this song set to a bunch of Star Trek clips, so that's why I know this song references Jagger.
