DESCRIPTION:
"I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson" is the humorous lead single from the third DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince album "And In This Corner . . .", released right after they received the first rap Grammy ever in 1989 for "Parents Just Don't Understand". After watching several tapes of the (at the time unbeaten, and seemingly invincible) heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, Fresh Prince, aka Will Smith, gets the strange idea that he has managed to find a way to defeat the champ, and manages to convince promoter Don King to arrange a match in two months and DJ Jazzy Jeff to train him. No one gives Fresh Prince any chance to even survive the bout. Reporters covering his camp are booing, compounded by Fresh Prince's unrealistic brags, such as performing 4 million situps in a minute and throwing a Volkswagen half a city block. His barber thinks he can beat him, but only if he used a baseball bat (and asks if he can have his shoes once Tyson kills him). Fresh Prince even hears his own grandmother bet $1,000 against him. As predicted, the fight doesn't go well. Fresh Prince manages to avoid being punched for a second, only to get hit in the body (at which point, he says to be discreet, "let's just say that my bowels released"). He stumbles back to his corner, who insist he continue fighting, so he hits DJ Jazzy Jeff and the fight ends. Interspersed in the song is a conversation between two older men, Leroy and another unnamed man. The unnamed man claims to have attended a Tyson fight and saw Tyson's opponent's head fly "into the 18th row" while Leroy thinks Tyson is a football player from Montreal. This channel is dedicated to all the great rap music from back in the day. The music that started the whole hip-hop revolution, the incredible music from the 70s, the 80s, and the early 90s . . . The Roots Of Rap are here!
