Wrestling References in Rap Songs (Quiz)

[@SoWaffles]

What's insane is that Bob Backlund, the world's whitest man, is name-dropped in so many rap songs

[@riotd.r.8363]

"Bob Backlund breaking backs" is a line that can't be passed up.

[@y0_jimb0]

Right? Multiple name drops for Backlund and none for Flair was really surprising, though maybe those would've been too obvious.

[@jfdrac]

Yeah I was like these guys are OLD school fans....either that or they liked Crazy Bob from the G era

[@Hypno_BPM]

@@jfdrac a lot of 90s and 2000s rappers grew up in the 70s and 80s so makes sense

[@Hypno_BPM]

as a 90s rap fan i’d say Lex Luger, Ric Flair, Hogan and Savage are probably referenced almost as much as Backlund

[@Handsome_Black]

There is no amount of money I wouldn't donate to see a video of Sophie spitting popular rap lyrics.

[@kamenanew9867]

Dude we'll pool our incomes together

[@moeegz]

Start the fundraiser cus I’m in

[@BigDaveO369]

Just seen this. I’m in.

[@Pako_equis]

Let her do a Basic Thugonomics cover 😂

[@jonjon4843]

That Owen Hart line was craaaaazy 😭😭

[@kevinstull8552]

That was disgusting, in my opinion. It sounds like someone is trying to make a profit over the fall and death of Owen Hart.

[@AxeDharme]

I remember there being backlash for that from wrestling fans.

[@Hypno_BPM]

@@kevinstull8552 the song is called “Serenity in Murder” JMT was about hardcore rap talking about death and murder in the late 90s. pretty much what eminem was doing early in his career , i never thought of it as some really disgusting line. rappers quote tragedies all the time. gotta remember that a big part of late 90s rap was all about shock value

[@danielpollard3647]

After I heard that line, in my head I was like "Man, that's messed up."

[@thatboyrich1948]

My jaw dropped when I saw those lyrics

[@renafan3333]

Ok,whoever sent this,clearly sent it to just hear Sophie perpetually tongue tied. lol

[@Mrryn]

If they did, I appreciate them for this even more lol

[@Hypno_BPM]

sophie was right about sleeping and that Dibiase line. his finisher was called “The Million Dollar Dream”

[@cameronbennett4762]

And wasn’t one of his finishers a sleeper hold? Or am I dreaming lol

[@jfdrac]

The Million Dollar dream was the sleeper hold @@cameronbennett4762

[@SnapGrapplePop]

@@cameronbennett4762yeah million dollar dream was his name for his sleeper

[@cameronbennett4762]

@@SnapGrapplePop ooh yeah. I guess in my head when I heard million dollar dream I thought of Ted jr finisher. I think he called that dream street or maybe I’m all mixed up lol

[@Hypno_BPM]

@@cameronbennett4762 dream street sounds like a freddy krueger movie 😂

[@gardegronplays]

Thanks for using the quiz. Lotta fun putting it together. I may do another with other genres of music, though the VAST majority of wrestling references come from rap.

[@StacheClubWrestling]

Thanks for sending this in!!

[@Elle0hElle_xo]

This was really good!

[@Rakmandra]

other genres I might have a chance... I don't listen to rap 🙈

[@SRTBadbrains90]

You killed it with this quiz

[@RApollos107]

I had no idea so many rappers liked to name drop Bob Backlund

[@michaelhoffman3726]

Y’all got to know abt the Jimmy Snuka murders

[@maxp2305]

Once the answer was revealed, I went back to the lyric and gave it some thought... That's a fuckin bar

[@syria0110]

I remember hearing Nas mention Iron Sheik on "It Ain't Hard to Tell" and was geeking out. I also enjoyed the Snuka and Eddie Guerrero references by J. Balvin and Bad Bunny on "I Like It"

[@Hypno_BPM]

Nas is my favorite rapper of all time. i also love a Wu Tang lyric where Rza says “stomp ya ass like Wahoo McDaniels” lol. Wu Tang had many wrestling references

[@SirZapdos]

Kind of surprised not to see "Time to drop these 'bows like Dusty Rhodes. Then I yell ho. We knocking 'em off they feet like a Southern hustler supposed to do." from Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik by Outkast. That's a classic. Also Jedi Mind Tricks is great, as is the related supergroup Army of the Pharaohs. Lots of wrestling and boxing references. The song "Dump the Clip" by AOTP doesn't have any wrestling references, but it has a Red Sox reference and is probably my favourite rap track of all time.

[@TravieMoto]

Sophie is the true undefeated champ

[@yusufgazi7]

2:03 That’s basically what Eminem’s flow was lol

[@WAZOWSKI_58]

The reason the Jimmy Snuka line didnt sound like it rhymed is because it was said wrong. Hooker - Hooka Looker - Looka Took her - Tooka

[@skoorbywehc]

Seeing you guys appreciate how hard some of those lines were makes me like you guys even more 😂

[@Will-yp3xt]

Come on boys #6 was easy "Tag team with Funk Doc" Redman always goes by Funk Doc and he's always with Method Man, Great Video!

[@Hypno_BPM]

Redman is crazy underrated. everyone thinks of him as a comedic rapper but dude has BARS

[@JChow82088]

Best part is Sophie reading the lyrics🤣🤣🤣

[@tmac731]

10:35 Nicki actually said that Hulk Hogan line lol

[@williamweber9390]

She's a wrestling fan if I remember correctly that's why I guessed her on both times

[@jfdrac]

She is people dont know but she did Victoria's song Aint the lady to mess with @@williamweber9390

[@JonnyTheButcher_]

My 3 favorite things bro, wrestling, stache club, and rap. This finna be fire 🔥

[@Eos26]

Sophie saying these lyrics was comedy gold 😂😂

[@horst-dieter1843]

I know a rap song with this insane line by jedi mind tricks where one says "falling like Owen Hart"💀

[@horst-dieter1843]

Oh lol it's in the video

[@milledar619]

We need a SCW album with Sophie covering all of these songs

[@Mrryn]

Only in one-takes though. We had Becky Two-Belts. Now we need Sophie One-Take.

[@XjJeeper91]

one of my favorite and hands down darkest wrestling lines is in a Diss track by Tom McDonald, "They're gonna need a whole family of coffins, when you Chris Benoit them, to solve all your problems!"

[@FunnyMemeHere]

Tom McDonald is trash

[@baconmctriple]

I'm surprised John didn't know about Jedi mind tricks

[@SirZapdos]

They have other wrestling lyrics. The one that sprang to mind was from Omnicron - "I stand here with the heart of the meek. I bring pain, camel clutch, Iron Sheik."

[@pdg90]

Definitely want to see a part 2 & 3! 👍

[@perkjr7834]

Some of babytron best wwe lyrics “undertaker slide em down and give a tombstone” “I ain't wrestling, metal to his head like he Scott Steiner” Shit, I'm on top now. Color blind to red, nah, I can't stop now (Helluva made this beat, baby) Yeah, no effort, buffed up like a pro wrestler and so much more

[@christophercharles1937]

Best wrestling bar to date in my opinion “Don’t you know my chopper do open heart, if I snap imma drop him, no Owen Hart” - Flooded the Land by Montana of 300 Or “Tell ‘em kick rocks like Dwayne Johnson, see the cold shoulder, Stone Cold Stunner” Favorite Teacher by Montana of 300

[@chuckmosel4116]

Yeah i bro i was looking for some montana bars bcs he doo alot wrestling bars

[@jaymearruda6491]

John should do voice overs with rap voices lol

[@zo851]

I fw you guys heavy

[@mdf3530]

Who else thought this would include “What is a Juggalo?” by ICP?

[@rockysolmon1]

I thought the last one was Booker the whole time.

[@mdf3530]

Same

[@Flipx82]

Would be fun to see more videos like this

[@bschuss1]

First quiz where I had absolutely no clue. Haven't even heard of like 90% of the artists, let alone the songs :D

[@RandomxNachos]

No Flatbush Zombies? You could’ve made a quiz just from them alone

[@mdf3530]

Or ICP

[@xVDRx]

Serenity in Murder by Jedi Mind Tricks is one of the greatest rap songs ever written. They don't get nearly enough credit for how crazy good and influential they are

[@TheFaithBreaker]

The fact that the Snuka line dropped in 1990 is crazy

[@RobboEntertainment]

I really need to know more rap songs. But I got a few answers through the context of recognising a few rappers as wrestling fans- Method Man, Action Bronson, Wale.

[@FunnyMemeHere]

Dissapointed there was no Westside Gunn on the quiz.

[@Hypno_BPM]

Vol 2

[@cactusjackro7770]

same.

[@nottheoriginalhandle]

Could've made a whole quiz with him lmao

[@kriskorner4588]

That's probably because it's not "Im the one" , the name of the song is "im on one" 😂😂😂

[@Trueblue4u22]

This quiz was super fun. I would like another please.

[@Pinkyhotwheels]

Hahaha I’m dying over Sophie spitting these lyrics!! Yall must’ve been tired after this quiz 😂🤣

[@mattevans1643]

The only reason i knew the owen hart one was because Jedi Mind tricks are basically the same guys as Army of the Pharoahs. They have vicous lyrics, and it's really a call back to true gangster rap. Their shit goes hard. They make a lot of references to famous athletes and tv stars. Also they're from the same area as me, they were popular in the philly area in the mid 2000's.

[@bradley2494]

Damn no Vince Staples bar from "Blue Suede" "Leave his dome ruthless Sweet chin music The kickback gruesome" Or the simple line from Denzels Sumo haha

[@Joe_Parmesan]

I was waiting for "Time to drop these bows, like Dusty Rhodes. Then, yell 'HOOO!' We knockin' em off they feet like a Southern playa supposed ta do." or "I freak beats. Slam it, like Iron Sheik. Jam like a Tec with correct techniques."

[@Erlewyn]

0. Not my points, no, the number of songs I knew.

[@LockedInOzzie]

So glad they got the Earl reference, Odd future was my shit back in the 2010's, also X goes hard.

[@killerineverygame]

Ayee huge respect to Dante for being a huge fan of Into You by Fabolous. OG Fabolous was amazing and my favorite rapper of all time

[@theaxia]

16:33 thats my favorite part of this video

[@Rob-kl1uz]

“I swear I'm a stunna like Steve Austin” - Lil Uzi Vert

[@joshuabishop5997]

That Owen Hart line was crazy; but what is crazier to me is that it didn't seem like they knew the Superfly Snuka and Nancy Argentino incident that that rap both rhymes with and hints at lyrically

[@MahDeeSun]

If I recall correctly, Snuka was charged with murder of his wife and Vince was able to sweep the whole thing under the rug. Not sure if that was the reference when they mentioned "possible context"

[@Sam-ls9gc]

Johns rap impressions are actually elite

[@kbsavage2680]

If yall do another vid like this it would be cool to hear the lyric in the song as well!

[@dougrivera818]

😂😂😂 yeah you like wrestling me too-Dante

[@DamaniJD42698]

11:05 the million dollar dream is a sleeper hold!

[@unevan570]

Jedi mind tricks fantastic group of rappers highly suggested very lyrical shit

[@bamweasel]

The line in the video was enough to sell me on them. That was fire.

[@trevalato]

John's Action Bronson impression was great 😭

[@freakyhijikii2905]

I'll be here waiting for Sophie's mix tape.

[@perkjr7834]

The fact that there is no babytron lyrics on here is crazy he literally has a song called WWE a song called dead man walking and a song called Paul Bearer 🤣😂

[@channelnumber52]

Songs with those titles would have been too obvious in the multiple choice.

[@jeffreyring1012]

I just added so many songs to my playlist... 😂😂

[@greasy2007]

Shocked Dante even knows who Nas is the way he acts sometimes lol

[@teh_justin2860]

Oh my god I dont really listen to music so this sounded absolutely insane LMAOO I love it

[@OsoArrogant00_]

I 100% thought that last one was King Booker😂

[@dblackATGB]

I actually got the Superfly Snuka one right, it was the only name that came to my head. The rest of the multiple choice... not so much.

[@SoullessMMA]

Please, no disrespect, I love this channel. But Sophie reading rap lyrics is hilarious 😂😂😂

[@bamweasel]

I've gotta check out that song with the Owen Hart line. It was raw and absolutely my flavor of rap.

[@worldgoesround9]

was expecting Czarface - The king and eye. "Your project's like a topic of discussion with my girl 'Cause I know you'll never drop it Plus you're standin' there like Orange Cassidy With your hands in your pockets, the audacity ('dacity) Breakin' necks when I flex like X, 23"

[@supersasukemaniac]

now i get #15, yes Superfly Snuka makes a lot of sense.

[@ИванИванов-р8ь8ч]

You should know about Jedi Mind Tricks and Brand Nubian 2 of the greatest rap groups of all time

[@SushiKishi]

John: “I won? By rhyming Godfather with Hook Her?”

[@jfdrac]

I had to stop this video and listen to each and that Owen one is savage nasty

[@nuckle.]

you have to do one of these with Hivemind. It fits perfectly with their content and yours

[@TJones-js3ns]

Superfly snuka is crazy 😂😂😂😂😂

[@jalenbrooks2173]

Now that I think about it, John kinda looks like The Alchemist without the 5 o’clock shadow

[@WaltersIsWhite]

Into you the original song is by Tamia, who actually went to the same highschool as my dad. But fab killed that remix

[@chrisviglietta9870]

I'm pretty sure "slept on because of my Ted DiBiase-ness" refers to his "Million Dollar Dream" finisher.

[@bayleesnider1776]

Should’ve included some Tom Macdonald songs, he’s mentioned a lot of wrestling icons

[@wiseguy8100]

I was hoping they would include one of Macho Man’s songs

[@monkeygamr3285]

ikm most surprised the didnt do THE wrestling so "Nature Walk" by twilz

[@yaboi_siv]

shout out to him puting cam'ron!

[@chrisblue123]

I was low-key, hoping after they guessed each song they would play the sample of the song.

[@cactusjackro7770]

how do you do a wrestling rap quiz without using a westside gunn song??

[@sleepdafiend3983]

Jedi mind tricks are the shit legendary rap group

[@TheWannabeexpert]

Also please more like this.

[@sahirmuhammad3167]

Nah John Bronson impression insane 😭😭😭

[@atto_3]

I got an ad for mattresses after Sophie read out the Owen Hart and my lord I may have died.

[@AMJPEGALEE]

that was 🔥

[@yusufgazi7]

Damn I would’ve got Jimmy Snuka on live chat, Only one that rhymed apart from Booker which wouldn’t work because of the “T”

[@Reneynay]

Jedi mind tricks are amazin

[@hugobarajas4754]

I'm shocked it wasn't King Booker because that would of work. Why is it Superfly Sunka.

[@CadChamberlain]

This could be just Griselda lyrics and it could be a 40 episode series

[@rj6thstreet]

2:03 he sounded like soos from gravity falls when he said that

[@SeiryuuX]

NGL, I was fully expecting John Cena's "Basic Thuganomics" theme to be posted here considering that he added a line about Undertaker making people famous.

[@fluxuation87]

You guys gotta listen to Animal Rap by Jedi Mind Tricks. They’re so good!

[@williamweber9390]

The Nicki Minaj one was the only one I got right I think because I'm pretty sure I remember her saying she was a wrestling fan somewhere at some point

[@flybirdsfly2091]

Good luck everyone and good luck to john and dant and i want to wish cm punk a safe and speeded recovery
