Punch-Out Rap

I remember when Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! was released on the Nintendo Entertainment System back in 1987; I spent countless hours with my eyes glued to the screen, and my sweaty, Cheeto stained hands clutching the NES’s ergonomically designed controller.  As a matter of fact, I still have the calluses on my thumbs to remind me of the unhealthy obsession I had with the game - well they’re either from that, or the result of another unhealthy obsession that arose when I was about thirteen.  It became apparent that the game also made a lasting impression on other old school gamers after watching this video by a group known as ”The Adventures Duane and BrandO”.  These guys used to produce (they have now gone their separate ways) hip-hop songs that paid tribute to the golden age of gaming.  This particular track is about everyone’s favorite pink sweatsuit wearin’ warrior - the immortal Little Mac.  Not only does this bring back good memories, it also happens to be one of the better rap songs I have heard in a while (Language NSFW).
