4. "Stunt Hard" By Drake, Lil Wayne & Kidd Kidd
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN47dDYlGyw Lyric: "Yeah, but I ain't stuntin' these hoes/I been pimpin' since Hulk Hogan was nWo/Yeah, I'm wild, Drizzy tough and the Kidd vicious/The Three Horsemen, we just need Sid Vicious" Recent years have seen Lil' Wayne's lyrical ability dwindle to an almost sad level. In 2008, though, he had a legitimate claim to being one of the better rappers alive. He was one of the most prolific people in the game, putting out mixtape after mixtape to go with his albums and endless streams of guest appearances on other people's songs. This is one of those wrestling references that can only be made by someone who is a real fan of the sport. It's easy to just mention Hulk Hogan's name. His star power transcends wrestling altogether. Even if you've never watched a match, there's a decent chance you know his name and what he did for a living. The mention of the nWo can come from a casual fan or someone that used to watch. It isn't until he references Sid Vicious and the Horsemen that you begin to truly understand things. Even some hardcore wrestling fans forget that Sid Vicious was a member of the Four Horsemen for a year before he jumped to the WWF and became Sid Justice in 1991. That's a really good wrestling reference and another reminder of what Wayne was and could have been.
