This collaboration between Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather and Ludacris reminds me of Mike Tyson’s role in Canibus’ “Second Round K.O.” 10 years ago. A young, promising MC named Canibus was embroiled in a bitter feud with an O.G. named LL Cool J. Bis needed to add some bite to his assault, so he invited Mike Tyson to hype him up on “Second Round K.O.” Mike, who was fresh off “The Bite Fight” with Evander Holyfield, egged Bis on as he proceeded to land an incendiary uppercut on LL.
This is the part where I’m supposed say, I knew Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson was a friend of mine. Floyd Mayweather, you’re no Mike Tyson.
Luda, please keep making ‘em like this. I am now officially looking forward to Theater of the Mind, which drops on November 25th.
