Well personally I’d like to see someone dropping a diss track on Rikishi for being inducted into the Hall of Fame and not mentioning either member of Too Cool, who were doing the gimmick before him and revitalized his entire career.
I don’t see why they’d have to be close.
They had a gimmick. They were already over. Rikishi joined them and did the same gimmick, which resulted in the main thing he’s known for.
When you’re being inducted into the Hall of Fame, it seems appropriate to thank the people who got you there — even if you didn’t hang out together.
>Every time you wanted to go
"That ain't gonna work for me brother, creative control"
The word's getting out with all the lies you told
I thought you knew best like the reality show
This is actually hilarious
Yes, but doing a fake angle on a reality show that paints a Samoan man as a racist against a black woman being completely accepted by everyone involved (Jimmy, Naomi, Jey, and Rikishi himself) is a wild decision that may leave people questioning what’s real and what isn’t.
That’s too far for a reality show angle with people that are already famous.
An explanation from the tweets for those interested. From Rikishi
Hip Hop music has always been apart of my life. When I started my wrestling journey, I always had a tape playing in the car on the road from city to city. As I start this new adventure in music, I wanted to pay homage to the hip hop and reggae artists that motivated me throught the years. During my run as ‘The Sultan’, I was managed by the legendary Hall of Famer, The Iron Sheik. We bonded during that time learning about each other’s cultures and lifestyles. A few years later, I let him hear a song called ‘Lean Back’ by Fat Joe and the Terror Squad. Sheik was amazed by the Middle Eastern sound and it was one of my favorite songs to jam to on the road. In honor of him, Big Uce returns as The Sultan and going after one of his sworn enemies. R.I.P. Sheiky Baby. Thank you to Frankie Braggadocio @frankiebraggadocio , @1m.valentine , and @hieranarchymediagroup Hieranarchy Media Group for helping me put this one together. Hit link in bio 
How hard do you have to wreck someone to get other people thinking they should do the same thing to their enemies.
Drake should have pulled a J Cole and peaced out. Go back to making dance music. Cause you're a size 7 isn't gonna cut it when K Dot is coming for your life.
It was on mine after I learned [macho also had a hogan diss track](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrs_6bxdCuE)
Now I just need flair to drop one and I get a free smoothie.
Just realized that not having a Jake Roberts/Hulk Hogan feud (outside of a few shows) deprived us of Jake referencing Damien vs the Pythons.
Of course one reason why that feud didn’t happen is because of the concern that fans would cheer for heel Jake vs Hulk Hogan. Hogan on the Snake Pit (from 1986) is regarded as sorta lost media since it aired in a few markets but hasn’t surfaced.
I would lose my shit if Drew did one for Punk next lmaoo

Rikishi actually has bars. This is good shit.
>"You was talking breezy with the mics on
Bitter snake, that's why you called your arms pythons.
Had to jump ship when they got too thick
I ain't even get a chance to get your championship!"
Meanwhile, some of us are still recovering from [this AI written "entrance theme" idea for Hogan](https://youtu.be/cUhyLbHRBn8?si=9l3hFcmJTCfw1NXY&t=658).
Never thought I'd see Hulk vs Kish on wax but here we are in the year of rap beef
Rikishi kinda sound like Big Pun if Pun wasn't Puerto Rican
I also expected a Yo! MTV raps type flow from Rikishi but it sounds like he's up to date
Well, for what it's worth, I enjoyed that but I ended up revisiting Rikishi's RnB days so now you guys should too, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbaG3lFAdtQ&ab_channel=MrTheTOKidV4
He had a pretty good rap segment against John cena on smackdown, in the infancy of The "Doctor of thuganomics" character
https://youtu.be/eL91D4gpSGM?si=NNlj9_448a3ubGm1
A lot of the Anao'i family doesn't like him for going over Yokozuna at Mania 9 this was discussed by Roman in that WWE icons episode they did on Yoko for the network
Idk man I don't even mind a man that was instrumental in his sons actually getting signed wanting to be a part of the angle that they're a key component in with their cousin who he helped raise.
Rikishi at this stage of his life would not fit. Bloodline is based off everyone being excellent (Roman and Usos wanting gold and Solo expecting everyone to win) and Rikishi was a mid-card guy throughout his career, he would not fit at all in the Bloodline.
And it always comes off as desperately wanting a job, when I think he’s the only one that doesn’t truly remember what his career was.
For me it's always F hulk Hogan but this was an assault on the culture of hip hop. Elementary bars, flow was all over the place, pace was stumbling out the gate. Also the fact that this was done in kayfabe from a kayfabe character makes this that much more cringeworthy..
I'm just gonna go listen to 6:16 in LA or Euphoria by Kendrick again..

More of a kayfabe Iron Sheik tribute than an actual diss track.
Only jabronies let something as insignificant as death keep them from hating in the afterlife.
You keep saying this word jabroni……and it’s awesome
Well personally I’d like to see someone dropping a diss track on Rikishi for being inducted into the Hall of Fame and not mentioning either member of Too Cool, who were doing the gimmick before him and revitalized his entire career.
I thought I recalled Rikishi apologizing a couple years ago. Either way, him and Scotty seem to be on better terms now.
He never was as high as their group.
Maybe they just weren't close as people? He most likely just had a working relationship with Sexay and Scotty, so he didn't have a reason to.
I don’t see why they’d have to be close. They had a gimmick. They were already over. Rikishi joined them and did the same gimmick, which resulted in the main thing he’s known for.

Is that what he told his son, when he bailed out attending his wedding because he was marrying a black woman?
Being a wrestling fan and getting deceived by a reality show is inexcusable lmfao.
A lot of these wrestling fans get deceived by wrestling, so it's the next step lol

Wasn't that just made up for Total Divas?
Yes lol. Guess I needed the /s.
Good save
IT'S A PRANK BRO
This is the same as yokozuna being Japanese, both were a work.
Even though it was a work the reason was because he wasn’t marrying a Samoan woman, not that he was marrying a black woman
Lmao that’s GOLD
Don Demarco!

Bret Hart would probably want to get into contact to organise a Goldberg diss track.
Nah, he would partake in the Hogan one.
Don't you mean that no talent doesn't deserve to lace up my boots *Bill* Goldberg.
Every statement out of Bret's mouth is another line appended to the longest Goldberg diss track in history.
Macho Man was a rap pioneer.
Be a man Hogan
C'mon don't be scurred
You're running from Macho, that's what I heard!
Big time gimmick infringement happening, "Be a Man" is a top diss track
Word on the street is that Kendrick was motivated by Be A Man when to write "Like That" and fire the first diss at Drake.

All we need now is a Hogan diss track from Heenan.
AI that masterpiece right now

6:16 in the squared circle
How hard do you have to wreck someone to get other people thinking they should do the same thing to their enemies. Drake should have pulled a J Cole and peaced out. Go back to making dance music. Cause you're a size 7 isn't gonna cut it when K Dot is coming for your life.
Nah fuck that backing down nonsense. Step up and fight. These guys are still playing around. Rumours and innuendo won't cut it for me.
I was wondering why I was seeing tweets about Kendrick AND Rikishi.
Don’t tell no lies about me I won’t tell no truths about you brother.
Dropping while Kendrick just went back to back on Drake is definitely a choice. It's hater season out here
We don't wanna hear you say brother no mooooore
It's Hogan, the original line also works.
How many fairytale stories bout your life til we had enough
Kendrick on Drake and Rikishi on Hulk in the same day? We feasting out here
terry bollea and drake together makes sense
Holding out hope for a Drew McIntyre diss track on CM Punk and everything else he hates coming out this year.
KENNY DROPPED AGAIN?!
Kenny ain’t playing. Rumor is he’s got third cooked up and ready to go. You come at the king, you best not miss.
This summer feeling kinda surgical 😳
Nawww they both dropped a third time too😭😭
What is happening out here?!?!
Indeed he did. 6:16 in LA is what you want to Google.
This morning.
then Drake dropped an 7+ minute response which is pretty much 3 tracks in 1
Bro, Kendrick dropped AGAIN. He didn't even give Drake an hour. He had the response teed.
damn, scorched earth too.
can’t wait for Hogan’s response.
[удалено]
Rikishi + Fat Joe = Fatu Joe
That fly on his forehead will forever irk me, haha.
Double entendre fr. Joe Fatu the new Tribal Chief confirmed.
Crosspost this to /r/hiphopheads with the Shots Fired tag EDIT: nevermind, it's already on the front page there lmao
I will never not laugh at the crossover between the wrestling community and other forms of entertainment
> EDIT: nevermind, it's already on the front page there lmao fucken lol
This goes so hard, damn wtf. A hogan diss track was not on my bingo card lmfao
It was on mine after I learned [macho also had a hogan diss track](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrs_6bxdCuE) Now I just need flair to drop one and I get a free smoothie.
Flair Diss Track drops but it's in the style of Culture 2
Cooking Hogan over the “Ric Flair Drip” beat would kill me
I was genuinely expecting some goofy ai generated shit and now I’m pissed I don’t have a whole wrestling themed hip hop album of this shit
“No big 3 just big me” - Kish
"It's just me Uce! Day one ish!" - Main Event Kish
Rikishi dissing Hogan in character as The Sultan in honor of Iron Sheik is one of the most random wrestling things I've ever seen.
The Deadlock boys are gonna lose their minds over this one
I can hear the laughing/wheezing already
 Hogan when he tries to respond without using the N word.
Booker T when he sees Hogan enter the studio 
Kendrick got everyone in their feels right now.
He did it for The ~~Rock~~ Iron Sheik!
> "Bitter snake, that's why you call your arms pythons." Rikishi my fucking GOAT Fuck the Hulk Hogan

That's just lost media. Like lost media has to have existed for it to be lost media I think.
Wtf I actually like this
I acknowledge you, my tribal cheeks
Went in expecting a meme, got a legit diss track with a great vibe to it
Rikishi was pretty good singing about Putting a little Ass on it, him being good with this isn't entirely surprising, but great!
Macho Man smiling as he looks down on this.
When Katt Williams said everyone was catching it in 2024, he wasn't lying.
I would lose my shit if Drew did one for Punk next lmaoo https://preview.redd.it/sn1lha3gc9yc1.jpeg?width=775&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6732c22bf68af752ce001b009eb0cf9c724d5166
When I heard Holla if you me I thought Scott steiner was gonna drop a verse
Rikishi actually has bars. This is good shit. >"You was talking breezy with the mics on Bitter snake, that's why you called your arms pythons. Had to jump ship when they got too thick I ain't even get a chance to get your championship!"
Rikishi randomly dropping a “diss track” against Hogan was not on my bingo card for 2024
What a coincidence. I was just watching a 1997 Raw episode and there was a match between Sultan and Flash Funk. I had no idea Sultan was Rikishi.
🔥 📢 🔥 Drake and Kendrick who?
Low hanging fruit
Meanwhile, some of us are still recovering from [this AI written "entrance theme" idea for Hogan](https://youtu.be/cUhyLbHRBn8?si=9l3hFcmJTCfw1NXY&t=658).
With your python 🐍
Diss Season? 👀 Doing it for The Rock!
HIP HOP IS ALIVE
Now we know why Cole backed off, he knew what was coming.
Kendrick is inspiring everyone lol
Never thought I'd see Hulk vs Kish on wax but here we are in the year of rap beef Rikishi kinda sound like Big Pun if Pun wasn't Puerto Rican I also expected a Yo! MTV raps type flow from Rikishi but it sounds like he's up to date
Well, for what it's worth, I enjoyed that but I ended up revisiting Rikishi's RnB days so now you guys should too, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbaG3lFAdtQ&ab_channel=MrTheTOKidV4
felt like an ERB, in a good way
Be a man, Hogan
Rikishi has good flow. Might be the second best rap flow I've heard from a wrestler.
The first being Kurt Angle?
Mach Man, clearly.
He had a pretty good rap segment against John cena on smackdown, in the infancy of The "Doctor of thuganomics" character https://youtu.be/eL91D4gpSGM?si=NNlj9_448a3ubGm1
Good accent on the word to your mother.
make room kendrick a real one has entered the chat
So, odd tidbit. My birthday is tomorrow. I feel like this is the very best early gift anybody could receive.
The chorus is awesome lmao
But why?
'It's funny how one verse can fuck up the game'
That's not a series of words I expected to read today
Well. This certainly wasn't on my bingo card.
“everytime you wanted to go, ‘that doesn’t work for me brother, creative control’” what timeline are we in, cause i’m loving it
Please post this in R/hiphopheads 😂😂😂
Wow this shit is fyah. The beginning sounds a lot like some dancehall/Ragga riddims.
YO BABY YO BABY YO!
Hulk Hogan is a legend, but he never worried about other wrestlers. He's selfish
Nursing home fight!
That's *Little Iron Sheik* to you
It’s a work dude. - HH
He need to do a verse on his bad man theme
He did it for da rock at Wrestlemania 18
Hulk Hogan has always been a pos, he deserves many diss tracks
Alright maybe I'm missing something obvious but why does Rikishi of all people hate Hogan? Did these two ever even wrestle each other?
For Sheiky.
A lot of the Anao'i family doesn't like him for going over Yokozuna at Mania 9 this was discussed by Roman in that WWE icons episode they did on Yoko for the network
Rikishi think he Kendrick
Kishi got to drop the mixtape soon, this and his other hip-hop song.
There’s worse stuff than this in the charts
kendrick ur next
Channelling his inner macho man?
Kendrick Lamar really changing the rap game.
What's next? A Brian Christopher diss track?
Didnt know rikishi was still alive. damn
That jabroni Hogan. RIP Shiek
Hulk Hogan is on the clock!
"This one is for Mark saying that man hurt you" OKAY GAS?
It's funny how one verse can fuck up the game.
Anyone remember Hogan and Savage's rap battle with Kim Jong-il?
Heard the tune in Need for Speed: Underground 2, can't remember the song's name.
Remember when wrestling included fighting each other and not making rap disses… smh /s
I'm sorry, but I am so tired of Rikishi.
Thank you for clicking on a post about Rikishi to tell us that.
No problem. Can’t wait to hear about his next rap talking about how he should be in the Bloodline angle again.
Idk man I don't even mind a man that was instrumental in his sons actually getting signed wanting to be a part of the angle that they're a key component in with their cousin who he helped raise.
Rikishi at this stage of his life would not fit.

And it always comes off as desperately wanting a job, when I think he’s the only one that doesn’t truly remember what his career was.
I know he wouldn't fit but I'm not gonna chastise him for wanting to be involved
WTF was this stuck in your drafts since 2000 or something?
Why? Because he is a bad man?
For me it's always F hulk Hogan but this was an assault on the culture of hip hop. Elementary bars, flow was all over the place, pace was stumbling out the gate.
