Akeem’s arms never stopped moving, fucking hilarious. Even better was George Grey’s (Akeem/One Man Gang) shoot interview when he discusses the whole angle of him getting the gimmick and for weeks he thought the whole thing was a Rib. He kept waiting for Vince or Slick to say “Gotcha!” But that moment never came. He said even when he went down to wardrobe to get fitted for the Akeem gear he thought it was all a joke. 😂

Akeem of course was in a tag team with the Big Bossman called The Twin Towers ( personally I thought they should have been called Law & Order but that's just me). The Boss man's character at the time was a prison guard. So how ironic was it that after Akeem retired from wrestling he became a REAL prison guard? 😄

This video came out around 1987, originally from the Pile Driver WWF VHS tape. I was a year old when it came out but my dad had bought it. I remember watching this many many times on VHS, and right before the music video Slick was eating at KFC. The music video was filmed in Stamford CT right around Spruce ST and West Main ST next to the KFC restaurant, which he had ate at. The houses at 1:02 are still on the same street if you look at google maps.

Greatest MC of all-time 🐐

This video will never get old. This is everything great about 80s wrestling and WWF in a nutshell.

I still remember seeing Akeem and the Big Boss Man coming out to this music.

The Doctor of style Legendary manager Slick! Such a great heel and drèw massive heat!

One of the greatest songs of all time.

Strong memories of Summerslam 89 with slick leading out the bossman, akeem and Andre to take on Demolition and King Duggan… seeing Slick strut around was pure class

I never saw him as a heel, but I heard that even then he would slap the hands of fans on his way down to the ring. Can't remember any other heel doing that.

i love singing songs like this, and people telling me it's not even a real song...EASY MONEY !!!

You're a jive soul bro A jive soul bro And you're always lyin' to you friends You're a jive soul bro A jive soul bro And you'll never get nothin' in the end

Wooo, soul and funk will soon come back again...

The doctor of style Slick real OG

This video gives me sooooo much nostalgia. He filmed this video on west Main Street in Stamford Connecticut my hometown. That place looks NOTHING like this now.

I love the line about the 7' woman because Slick himself was a pretty tall dude!

the KFC clip at the beginning is funny and ridiculous at the same time, all the way down to the brandless thing of BBQ sauce on the corner of the table. vince McMahon......smh. lol.

I always thought it was hilarious pairing up a cop(boss man)with a pimp(Slick). I always wish Slick would have managed The Godfather. That would have been epic.

This song is a classic, still holds up.

“So she threw me on the floor in a figure four”: is one of the greatest lyrics ever.

Classic, guess they decided to cut out the prelude with Slick eating Fried Chicken like a pig with sauce and grease all over his hands. The only thing missing was Slick walking by a watermelon stand while he’s “shucking & jiving”. Vince always went for the lowest common denominator and we all loved it

Here from Wrestling Bios

All time classic. Does anyone know where he is today?
