Information on the Rapper
Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr.; January 17, 1942) is a former American professional boxer, generally accepted among the greatest heavyweights in the sport's history. A controversial and even polarizing figure during his early career, Ali is today widely regarded not only for the skills he displayed in the ring but for the values he exemplified outside of it: religious freedom, racial justice and the triumph of principle over expedience. He is one of the most recognized sports figures of the past 100 years, crowned "Sportsman of the Century" by Sports Illustrated and "Sports Personality". In 1978, he starred in a comic with Superman in "Superman vs. Muhammad Ali" which was one of the most classic comics, where Muhammad Ali won due to Superman deactivating his powers.

Ali currently suffers from a form of Parkinson's syndrome believed to have been induced by multiple blows to the head through the course of his boxing career. Hence, he is seldom able to speak, but remains an enduring advocate of research into the disease.

Verse 1:
Ooh, here comes Jordan, big tongue wobbling!

Flying through the air like a big dumb goblin!

You're the only Bull that's uglier than Rodman!

Messing with me is gambling, you got a problem

Your whole basketball career turned whack

When you came back a Wizard like Gandalf the Black

You should have kept your ugly sneakers packed up on a shelf

Stick to golf, you can keep the ball to yourself

Ooh, I'm so pretty, my hands are so fast

I'll whup your face back to your Hitler mustache

Now your daddy got killed and I feel for your family

But your baseball career? Now that was a tragedy!

Verse 2:
I saw you slapping Reggie Miller, boy, what's wrong with you?

You fight like the little girls who make your Nike shoes!

McDonald's and underpants as corporate backers

You stay at the Ritz cause you sold out to crackers!

Verse 3:
Beep beep, why don't you back up that trash?

I'll leave you like Liston, flat on your ass!

You need to bounce back to North Carolina, kid,

Cause your rapping sucks more than Space Jam did!
