Ali Rap is based on the book by George Lois that highlights the words and witticisms of "The Greatest." For one hour, viewers experience Ali's powerful words not only as said by the three-time heavyweight champion himself, but also from some of today's biggest names in sports and entertainment. The song "ALI RAP (Get Used to Me)," a hip-hop homage to Ali written and performed by Chuck D, serves as the show's soundtrack. As leader and co-founder of legendary rap group Public Enemy, Chuck D redefined rap music and Hip Hop culture with the release of PE's explosive debut album, Yo Bum Rush The Show, in 1987. His messages addressed weighty issues about race, rage and inequality with a jolting combination of intelligence and eloquence never seen before. Be sure to catch Chuck D on Friday, Dec. 1 at a time TBD, and don't miss Ali Rap, December 9 2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigted Posted December 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I saw Rakim and Luda in the commercials on ESPN the past couple days, I wonder if FP will be in it too? It's only fitting since he played him the movie after all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted December 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 (edited) Did anybody watch MNF last night which my Eagles won btw? :1-say-yes: Anyways during halftime they had an awesome tribute video that Chuck D made about Ali, it was incredible, even my papa digged it since he loves Ali :wiggle: btw, I heard that Chuck D was on "Quite Frankly" last night but I missed it since I was too hyped in the MNF game and I just slept like a baby after that...
