Hip-Hop Loves Wrestling! Pt.6

Yo! I can't believe it has been over an entire year since the last "Hip-Hop Loves Wrestling!" article! Just goes to show you how time flies...and how busy I've been, putting down more lyrics of my own.

Those who have been O-sters from day one know about these articles that showcase how hip-hop lyrics have always incorporated wrestling in many of its poetic analogies. Here's a link to the first five pieces in this series that commemorate this relationship: Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four and Part Five.

Big up to Tha O Show's Stevie J for his Original Hip Hop Lyrics Archive website which contains practically every rap lyric ever written! Now here, at long last, is your latest installment. Feel free to add ones you know that I may have missed.

She pulled out a Tec and wet my chest with the S1's”

A dazzlin' display if you could get close enough”

The thicker the richer the bigger the dread,
So I don't need no honeycomb”

Like a wrestler, another notch under my belt”

Hot and bothered, touch you with the toaster"

Bad News like Brown, survey with a spark"

Scar your face, say goodnight to the bad guy"
