10 Absolutely RIDICULOUS Wrestling Theme Lyrics
8. MVP - I'm Comin'
'One, two, you hear the clock ticking? Tick, tock, you about to stop livin'
A clunky murder threat isn't an ideal way to begin a wrestling theme, but this was, after all, a diet attempt at gangsta rap. Penned by Silkk The Shocker, a musician of actual renown, 'I'm Comin' exposes the folly of licensing out the job. What will happen is that a musician with better things to do will absolutely phone it in.
And Silkk The Shocker phoned it in with the most basic trick in the book of bars. What he did was unleash a torrent of similes with little to no thought of how daft they might make his subject look.
'Like Tropicana, I got the juice'
Tropicana does not got juice; Tropicana is juice, but the syntax got in the way of the rhyme.
'Nobody could guard me like I'm shooting a free throw / This is illegal, my flow is legal'
Isn't the pull of rap music - rap music that conveys murder, anyway - in its glamorous criminality? Wasn't MVP a heel? Isn't Silk using the first person to assume the identity of the subject, and if so, why is he putting his own, dire lyrics over?
In the funky as f*ck, badass Gz And Hustlas, Snoop Doggy Dogg barks 'I'm fly as a falcon soarin' through the sky'
Good choice of bird. A falcon is a predator, and Snoop preyed on the rap game.
You know what isn't a good choice of bird?
'See, I'm fly like a pelican'
Yes, pick the most comical-looking bird. That one with the massive throat pouch.
