10 Most Obscure Wrestling References In Hip Hop Songs
4. LL Cool J - "Fuhgidabowdit"
Cause I was down before the hype like Dusty Rhodes and Bob Backlund, Bruno Sammartino, Stan Staziak. Now The Rock and Stone Cold are my favorite maniacs. The top rooster pluckin', chickens when I’m cluckin'. WWF stands for When and Where we F****n'"
If you're a modern-day rap fan and only know LL Cool J as wisecracking, gun-toting agent Sam Hanna in NCIS: Los Angeles, then you might not fully appreciate how good a rapper he was back in the day.
A pioneer of the genre, the 52-year old has been able to release music in a number of decades and still be successful. Whether it's love songs or LL showing that he can go bar-for-bar with the best of them, he's always proven how versatile he is. On "Fuhgidabowdit," the rapper shows once again that when it comes to being boastful, he might be the one of the best to ever pick up a microphone and incorporates his favourite wrestlers to help him do so
Not only does he bring up old school legends like Dusty Rhodes and Bob Backlund, alongside Attitude Era icons, The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin, but he also manages to turn the WWF acronym into something the McMahon family certainly didn't consider when they came up with it.
