Lots of people dunk on Gex and other protags who are chatty. I'm not one of those people. I think he's fun. There's enough variety in the lines that I don't think they get too repetitive, plus some of them get a laugh out of me. Personal favorite: "To boldly go: ...i'm scared"
I don’t know why, but I distinctly remember George mispronouncing “impenetrable” worse than that. I remember it being something like “intremabemanabubububle jungle.” Guess childhood memories really are unreliable.
Yo, listen up, in the streets where it's rough, Where the hustlers hustle, and the dealers puff, Born in the belly of the beast, where it's real, Grew up fast, learned to steal and deal. A product of the block, where the shots ring out, Where survival's the game, and doubt's the only route, From the concrete jungle, where the weak get devoured, To the top of the game, where the strong got power. Raised in the era of crack and crime, Where the only way out was to climb and climb, A street soldier, with a heart of stone, In a world where the truth is never shown. Every word he spits, like a bullet from a gun, Every rhyme, every line, weighs a ton, No mercy in his flow, just raw grit, In the land of the lost, he's the ultimate hit. From the corners to the clubs, he's a kingpin, With a crew so tight, they always win, Innovating the game, with a style so fresh, In the heart of the struggle, he's the best of the best. So listen close, to the words he speak, In the language of the streets, where the strong seek, A voice for the voiceless, a hero in the night, In the world of gangster rap, he's the beacon of light.
Not gonna lie, this would fit really well in a casino environment. Sounds great by the way. This feels like it deserves a higher quality remaster if you were ever up for it to make it sound more clear. It's ok if you don't though.
Heh, I remember the "Underdog" episode "The Great Gold Robbery" and the "Perils of Penelope Pitstop" episode "Wild West Peril" did that same "record of a damsel in distress shouting 'Help!'" trick Tiger and Weevil pulled here. Except they played it straight, compared to the trick getting spoofed in the usual Jay Ward fashion here (i.e. the phone operator voice at 1:39).
