At first thought, Dragon Ball—the Japanese animated series created in 1986 by Akira Toriyama—doesn’t seem to have much overlap with hip-hop culture. The series follows pure-hearted martial artist Goku and his circle of supernatural fighters as they defend planet Earth from outer space invaders, who became increasingly powerful in the sequel series Dragon Ball Z and the non-canon Dragon Ball GT.

Yet as far out as the iconic show ventures, Dragon Ball has resonated with a generation of today’s MCs. Wu-Tang Clan mastermind RZA compared the storyline to “the journey of the black man in America” in his 2009 book, The Tao Of Wu. Young Thug doodles Goku-inspired sketches to propel his rhyme writing. And Big Sean was trolled by a Complex editorial about the show back in 2015.

The series took a two-decade hiatus in 1997, with the conclusion of Dragon Ball GT. While there have been sequel movies (2013’s Battle of Gods and 2015’s Resurrection F) weekly episodes of the series have finally returned to American TV this month under the name Dragon Ball Super—Danny Brown’s “Aint It Funny” plays in the show’s teaser clip.

To celebrate the arrival of Dragon Ball Super, Genius looked back on the intersection between the classic series and hip-hop over the years.
