10 Most Obscure Wrestling References In Hip Hop Songs
6. Ruff Ryders (Drag-On Jadakiss, Styles P & Eve) - "Pay Per View"
"I hop off the top rope and chop you in the throat, come through like Sting all black with a bat, then I drop you like Goldberg right on your back, you know styling and profiling like Ric Flair dressed me. sort of like Kidman, all the chicks think I'm sexy."
While the other choices on this list only mention wrestlers in passing, "Pay-Per-View" by legendary rap group Ruff Ryders is a song that is completely devoted to everything regarding the squared circle. As part of the WCW Mayhem: The Music album, "Pay-Per-View" is the biggest mash-up between hip-hop and wrestling that you'll likely see.
It's actually incredible to see legendary names like Jadakiss, Styles P, Eve and Drag-On shout out all the stars that made WCW such an amazing alternative product to what the WWF was giving fans at the time.
Of course, it would've been easy to just reference names like Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart, but the crew paid homage to legends who built their name in the company like Sting, Goldberg, Billy Kidman and Rey Mysterio, making it the unofficial WCW anthem for many rap-wrestling fans.
