JACQUES: In 2007, “Superbad” was released
and gave the world its first glimpse of Fogell
AKA McLovin.
EVAN: You changed your name to McLovin?
What kind of stupid name is that Fogell, what
are you trying to be an Irish R&B singer?
FOGELL: I am McLovin.
SETH: No you’re not!
No one is McLovin, McLovin has never
existed cause that’s a made up dumb fucking
fairy tale name you FUCK.
JACQUES: Played by the then 17-year-old Christopher
Mintz-Plasse, ‘McLovin’ was embraced by many --
especially in hip-hop.
JACQUES: According to Genius data, McLovin
has dozens of rap mentions with the first
coming in 2007 from Pittsburgh’s Wiz Khalifa.
JACQUES: Most commonly, like the aforementioned
Wiz lyric, McLovin is used as a play on the
movie’s name “Superbad.”
JACQUES: McLovin’s other mentions line up
with his nerdy confidence…
FOGELL: You don’t have the technology or
the steady hands to pull off a procedure like that so HA!
Peace!
FOGELL: Sup.
JACQUES: His gun-toting buddies…
COP: I’m really sorry that I blocked your cock.
JACQUES: And his punchable face.
JACQUES: Detroit MC Eminem loves ‘Superbad,’
possibly because the film name dropped him.
CLERK: Kinda looked like Eminem.
Does that help you?
COP: An M&M, so, he was circular?
CLERK: Marshall Mathers, Eminem the rapper
Eminem.
JACQUES: According to the movie’s lead actor
Jonah Hill, Slim Shady thinks 'Superbad'
is the best movie of all time.
He quotes it in “Ballin’ Uncontrollably."
JACQUES: And even used McLovin’s real name!
JACQUES: 'Superbad' is a classic film,
and we’re likely to see this reference time
and time again.
I’m Jacques Morel with Genius News, bringing
you the meaning and the knowledge behind the music.
Peace!
CHRIS: Damn son, where’d you find this?
INTERVIEWER: Okay, that’s incredible!
