iron man.
he's insane.
at his prime, unbeatable.
his video game on nes is top 5 of all-time.
we all know this stuff.
he's also been mentioned in a billzillion rap songs.
wex wednesday's presents some of those references:
1. LL Cool J on "I'm Bad": I'm like Tyson, icin/I'm a soldier at war/Makin sure you don't try to battle me no more
2. Kool G. Rap on "Poison": With Polo and while he's slicin/I'll turn the mic's last name into Tyson
3. Nas on "The World is Yours": They locked the champ up leavin my brains in handcuffs/Headed for Indiana, stabbin women like the phantom
4. Big Daddy Kane on "Put Your Weight On It": My sharp tongue is like a license/I strike like Mike Tyson, I be icin
5. Ghostface Killah on "Holocaust": Unfaithfully married to rap, we been engaged for 12 years/Tyson bit Holyfield ear, we love the sport
there's more, what are they!
honorable mentions to the fresh prince, canibus, spoonie gee, etc.
be easy.
