I hardly get to watch Drink Champs, hosted by Nore and DJ EFN, much nowadays, though I am glad to see that the show is still going strong. One episode I did get to see in its entirety was when The Lox appeared as guests. So back in the day, I remember spending time on hip-hop forums browsing for news and whatnot, and one of the rumors told by the people is how the rap trio had an altercation with the legendary boxer, Mike Tyson. It got to the point that, according to the rumors, Mike was going to get stabbed. At this point, I didn’t know whether to believe it or not. While The Lox weren’t to be messed with, we are talking about the Iron Mike Tyson. Everybody knows what he can do in the boxing ring.
So, when the world saw The Lox give the interview on Drink Champs and acknowledge the incident by retelling the story, I was shocked. Not only was I amazed at the story and what went down, but also at how hilariously they were able to retell the story! This is probably one of the funniest hip-hop related stories I’ve heard told by rappers themselves, bar none. There were so many moments to capture, from Nore’s tone when guessing if Tyson was on cocaine or not to Jada’s “dolo!” moment, Sheek trying to hilariously play off the whole thing, to, of course, Styles P. himself as the main storyteller.

Seriously, if these guys do a weekly, biweekly, or even monthly podcast, I’ll be sure to subscribe. The stories they must have gathered over the decades in their rap career must be enormous! If y’all never saw this before, get ready for some hilarious times! Of course, nobody wants to see Mike Tyson or anyone get poked, but man, this storytelling is A+!
