The baddest man on the planet.
There could only be one person I'm talking about; the incomparable "Iron" Mike Tyson. More than any other boxer, I grew up watching and idolizing Mike Tyson. He fought guys much bigger than him but brought a ferocity, speed, and power never before seen for a heavyweight. As with most great fighters; he lost speed, tenacity, and the defense it took to continue to be an elite fighter. And the tail end of his boxing career wasn't the most graceful, to say the very least. However, since his surprise role in the movie 'The Hangover' and through his ability to poke fun at himself, he has transformed himself into pop-culture relevance once again.
Recently, "Iron" Mike, Wayne Brady, and Bobby Brown collaborated on a parody video of the Bobby Brown Classic "Every Little Step" on funnyordie.com and of course hilarity ensued. Don't act like you're not impressed by Tyson's dancing. Looks like he still has the footwork!
In 2009, a documentary titled 'Tyson' was put out and it was riveting to say the least. I highly suggest that any sports fan watch this film (it also happens to be on Netflix instant queue if anyone is interested). It is a very eye-opening film and Tyson reveals many things that are bound to make your jaw drop. So many times I'd have to rewind certain parts just to make sure he really said what I thought he said. Best part is that "Iron" Mike pretty much narrates the entire thing and pulls no punches (no pun intended). And more than anything you have a better understanding of his psyche, it's a look in the mind of one of the most misunderstood figures in all of sports. Here's the trailer:
You either love him or you hate him. Mike Tyson definitely defines the word polarizing.
But nothing will ever beat when Mike Tyson screwed over "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels and aligned himself with "The Texas Rattle Snake" Stone Cold Steve Austin:
Juicy Justin's Daily Song: Puff Daddy featuring the Notorious B.I.G. and Busta Rhymes "Victory"
I'll be the first to say it; I loved Puff Daddy growing up. Dude was a born entertainer and entrepreneur. And I've gotta say that "Victory" is one of hip-hops most underrated songs ever. It's been in like every work-out pump-up mix I've ever made and it's just an all-around great song. It's got full orchestral accompaniment (which is something I'm a complete sucker for; love the violin) in the beat and one of the most epic (and expensive) music videos ever; featuring the likes of Danny Devito and Dennis Hopper. So check out this blast from the past, it is a gem:
Stay gold.
