Guest theanswer1824 Report post Posted May 10, 2005 Suprisingly, I liked it a lot. It reminded me of the Beastie Boy's 'Sabatoge' video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2005 I found it to be pretty funny. The lyrics weren't the best, but they were better than someone like Nelly would spit. Cena should have gotten more than one verse though, but with all three of them getting a verse, it sorta was reminiscent of the Beastie Boys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2005 It kept me entertained. Definitely had a Beastie Boys vibe going for it. Plus, they fucking NAILED the A-Team gimmick. Cena WAS Hannibal Smith. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cena should have gotten more than one verse though, but with all three of them getting a verse, it sorta was reminiscent of the Beastie Boys. That's kinda the way Rap songs seem to go nowadays. The artist does a verse, and then you've got "featured" rappers doing the rest. Overall, it was a cheesy video, but done tongue-in-cheek, so not bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2005 As a wrestler whose gimmick is that of a rapper, it wasn't that bad. But as a serious attempt at a music video, it was pretty bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest theanswer1824 Report post Posted May 11, 2005 Y'know, honestly, for a wrestler making a music video... it wasn't that bad. I agree. Usually, I cringe when a wrestler is stepping out of his realm. but shit, cena must be credible if he's cool with people like 7L, Bumpy Knuckles, etc (underground hiphop heads know these guys like how you smarks know 'indy' guys). all in all, good video, i liked how cena changed his delivery a bit too, and also the track was pretty violent if you were listening to the lyrics (especially bumpy knuckles verse).

Guest fanofcoils Report post Posted May 11, 2005 Cena's rap video failed to deliver to the mainstream audience, it might have made him "cool" by having him rap with the Mr. T lookalike/underground rapper but Cena didn't deliver a breakout performance that will cause the mainstream audience to really like him as a rapper IMO.

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2005 I really liked it. I was just surprised that they'd show the guns and shit on UPN. I was also surprised that Cena would be seen drinking and smoking on camera (even though it was fake) since I believe he has claimed to be sXe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest hhheld_down Report post Posted May 11, 2005 it was so good it took RAW down by only drawing a 3.3 for that segment. I guess most of cena's fans have to be in bed by 9 (central time). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2005 Oh God, I was having bad memories of Konnan's video. I swear WCW showed that damn thing EVERY week on Thunder back in the day, and it wasn't when WCW was dying either (this was like 1998 or so). I got to the point where I'd just turn the channel the moment it came on, and I am now doing the same with Cena. I liked it the first time, but I KNEW they would keep playing the fucking thing and I refuse to watch it constantly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
