Muhammad Ali - the first heavyweight champion of rap!!

Er að fletta í gegnum bók, sem er án vafa ein besta bók sem ég hef lesið. Þar eru taldir upp frasar og kvótar og svoleiðis sem Muhammad Ali hefur sagt í viðtölum og bara opinberlega. Margt af þessu rímar svo skemmtilega. Hann er bara óborganlegur. Hérna að neðan eru einhverjir frasar sem hann hefur látið útúr sér:

This guy is done.
I'll stop him in one. (12 ára)

You can get hurt playing football!

I'm young, i'm handsome, i'm fast, i'm pretty and can't possibly be beat.
They must fall
in the round I call. (16 ára)

The man said "we don't serve negroes"
I said " i don't eat them either!"
They shouted, "boy, get out!"
I looked at my gold metal and thought,
"This thing ain't worth nothin' -
it can't even get me a hamburger!" (19 ára)

I'm beautiful. Beeeoootiful. I'm the greatest.
I'm the double-fastest.
I'm clean and sparkling.
I will be a clean and sparkling champion.

The only thing I ever did like drugs was twice I toop the cap off
a gas tank and smelled the gas, which made me dizzy.
Never again!

My face is so pretty,
you don't see a scar,
which proves I'm the king
of the ring by far

When you come to the fight
don't block the halls
and don't block the door
for ya'll may go home
after round four

To get a good gate,
I wear those shiny white shoes
and those shiny white trunks
and the women says,
"Land, aint he nice and neat".
The women don't like the sight of blood, either,
so I make sure they
never see none of mine
by not gettin' hit

I don't pretend to be friendly,
like most people do
when they're trying to get to the top.
I AM friendly.

I'm just another nigger, trying to be bigger

You got a queen, you need a king.
I am King ( við englendinga)

What does the white man care
if I hate him, anyhow?
He's got everything going for him-
White swan soap, Tarzan is white, Jesus is white, White owl cigars, the white tornado,
Snow white and the seven dwarfs....and the white house!
Angel food cake is all white.
But the Devil's food cake is black!

I woke up this morning
feeling good and black.
I got out of my black bed,
I put on my black robe,
I played all my best black records,
and drank some black coffee.
Then put on my black shoes and
I walked out my black door...
and Oh Lord, white snow!

Það er sko alveg endalaust af tilvitnunum í þessari bók og ég gæti alveg eins talið allt upp, en það tæki mig heila eilfífð...
Þessi gaur er frábær! Hann er meistarinn!
