So there was a list that was released about all the wrestlers that Bam-Bam has mentioned in his raps thus far. We were discussing a bit of what our opinions have been on the show and even questioned about some of the listeners that compare his sound to be like GFK's. We aren't denying the fact that he has swerved his way into Tony's lane, but the possibility that he could've even side stepped boundaries into an are where even Rae could've capitalized. I mean c'mon, "the chef" would have no problem exemplifying food as metaphors for everything else he does. The wrestling touch I feel is what gives this a guy his own spin on things.
I mean the beard and marijuana are definitely signature, but that like tattoos on basketball players, na mean. So him going into the memory bank and digging up these names really helps him connect with a market that has mostly been untapped. Wrestling heads are as dedicated as any other sports fans, if not more, which definitely allows for a niche following. Football, basketball and baseball have all seeped into raps since forever (just another way pop culture is mixed into everyday hip hop), but since Action Bronson's persistence with name dropping, I feel you can expect a ripple effect.
Let's just see how long it will take to either get played out or turn in to a full blown epidemic.
Opinions?
