Michael Gerard "Mike" Tyson (born June 30, 1966) is a retired American professional boxer. Tyson is a former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and holds the record as the youngest boxer to win the WBC, WBA and IBF heavyweight titles at 20 years, 4 months and 22 days old. Tyson won his first 19 professional bouts by knockout, with 12 of them occurring in the first round. He won the WBC title in 1986 after defeating Trevor Berbick by a TKO in the second round. In 1987, Tyson added the WBA and IBF titles after defeating James Smith and Tony Tucker. He was the first heavyweight boxer to simultaneously hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles, and the only heavyweight to individually unify them.
In 1988, Tyson became the lineal champion when he knocked out Michael Spinks in the first 91 seconds of the fight. Tyson successfully defended the world heavyweight championship nine times, including victories over Larry Holmes and Frank Bruno. Tyson lost his titles to 42-to-1 underdog James "Buster" Douglas on February 11, 1990, in Tokyo, Japan, by a knockout in round 10. Tyson continued in his quest to regain the titles, defeating Donovan Ruddock twice in 1991. Tyson was then scheduled to take on the undisputed heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield but pulled out due to injury.
Trevor Berbick (August 1, 1954 – October 28, 2006) was a Jamaican-Canadian heavyweight boxer who fought as a professional from 1976 until 2000. Berbick briefly held the WBC heavyweight championship in 1986 (after beating Pinklon Thomas via 12-round unanimous decision), before losing it to 20-year old Mike Tyson, via 2nd-round TKO. He was the last man to fight Muhammad Ali, winning a 10-round unanimous decision in Nassau, Bahamas on December 11, 1981.
He was born on August 1, 1954 in Norwich, Port Antonio, Jamaica. During interviews with the press, he claimed to have a vision from God at the age of 16.[citation needed]
At 21, Berbick represented his native Jamaica in the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Quebec, Canada as a heavyweight boxer, despite having had only 11 prior amateur bouts. His lack of experience was plainly evident as he lost to the eventual silver medalist, Mircea Şimon of Romania. However, he still displayed a lot of promise as a young heavyweight boxer. He lost a decision to future heavyweight champion Michael Dokes in the Pan-Am semifinals.
Rutger Oelsen Hauer (/ˈrʌtɡər ˈhaʊər/; Dutch pronunciation: [ˈrʏtxər ˈulsə(n) ˈɦʌuwər]; born 23 January 1944) is a Dutch stage, television and film actor. His career began in 1969 with the title role in the popular Dutch television series Floris, directed by Paul Verhoeven. His film credits include Flesh + Blood, Blind Fury, Blade Runner, The Hitcher, Nighthawks, Wedlock, Sin City, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Ladyhawke, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Osterman Weekend, The Blood of Heroes, Batman Begins, Hobo with a Shotgun, The Rite and he won a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor for Escape from Sobibor. Hauer is a dedicated environmentalist and has founded an AIDS awareness organization, the Rutger Hauer Starfish Association.
He is the father of actress Aysha Hauer and the grandfather of fashion model Leandro Maeder (b. Dec 14, 1987).
Hauer was born in Breukelen, in the Netherlands, the town lending its name to New York City's Borough Brooklyn. His parents were drama teachers Arend and Teunke. Rutger grew up in Amsterdam. Since his parents were very occupied with their careers, he and his three sisters (one older, two younger) were brought up mostly by nannies. At the age of 15, Hauer ran off to sea and spent a year scrubbing decks aboard a freighter. Returning home, he worked as an electrician and a joiner for three years while attending acting classes at night school. He went on to join an experimental troupe, with which he remained for five years before Paul Verhoeven cast him in the lead role of the very successful 1969 television series Floris, a Dutch Ivanhoe-like medieval action drama. The role made him famous in his native country.
Héctor Juan Pérez Martínez (September 30, 1946 – June 29, 1993), better known as Héctor Lavoe, was a Puerto Rican salsa singer. Lavoe was born and raised in the Machuelito sector of Ponce, Puerto Rico. Early in his life, he attended a local music school and developed an interest inspired by Jesús Sánchez Erazo. He moved to New York City when he was 17 years old. On his first week living in the city, he worked as the vocalist of a sextet formed by Roberto García. During this period, he performed with several other groups, including Orquesta New York, Kako All-Stars, and the Johnny Pacheco band.
In 1967, Lavoe joined Willie Colón's band and performed as the band vocalist. With the Willie Colón band, Lavoe recorded several hit songs, including "El Malo" and "Canto a Borinquen". While working with the Willie Colón band, Lavoe became addicted to drugs and began to habitually be late when scheduled to perform with the band. Colón eventually decided to not work with Hector on stage but they still remained good friends and made music in the studio together. Lavoe moved on to become a soloist and formed his own band, where he performed as lead vocalist. As a soloist Lavoe recorded several hits including "El cantante", "Bandolera" and "Periódico de ayer" ("El Cantante" was composed by Ruben Blades, "Bandolera" by Colón and "Periódico" by Tite Curet Alonso.) During this period he was frequently featured as an invited vocalist in the Fania All Stars, and recorded numerous tracks with the band.
[Hook:]
Like it was 1986, yeah I'm back bitch
Big money, subwoofer reignin savage
It was 1986, yeah I'm back bitch
MC 24 crawling through the traffic
It was 1986, yeah I'm back bitch
Rolling clean, hella screen, digi-dashed it
It was 1986, coldest year ever
Mama coulda cut me out the womb but she knew better
[Verse 1:]
Digi my dash, this for the playas
That got them some golds and copped them some gators
Fresh than a motherfucker I knew what it took
The thing that I'm givin' you couldn't get out a book
Now don't be trickin' no hoes, don't be lendin' your
ride
And if you fuck, wear a rubber cause they burnin'

If it don't pay what ya askin' then you wastin' yo time
If you can't get you no old school don't go fuckin'

[Hook]
[Verse 2:]
Watchin' for jackers, scopin' for law
They go to hatin' when I'm basin' cause I swang and I
crawl
Scrapin the wall, rubbin' the curb
A chef with the whippin', my trunk shaken and stirred
I got a fetish for Chevys, a itch for the dollar
On the hunt for a freak, down to fuck if she swallow
I be poppin' my collar til I'm dead in a tomb
Hell, I been poppin' my collar since I fell out the
womb
[Hook]
[Bridge:]
It feels good to have it
Knowing that I did what I could
It feels good to have it
I put the leather on top of the wood
It feels good to have it
I rode chrome all around my streets
It feels good to have it
To see it, to need it, to grab it
Feels good to have it
You were the one
To lead us on our path
To what would be a country for us all
You weren't on your knees
For leaders from west nor east
You got your own opinion and you told them so
So you became uncomfortable for them to who tried to rule our world
They conspired to make you disappear for all eternity
One - You had your ways
Nine - To make our world
Eight - A better place
Six - For us to live
Was when our fairytale came to an end
One - You had your ways
Nine - To make our world
Eight - A better place
Six - For us to live
Was when our fairytale came to an end
Your fine ideas
Of a decent life for all
Were not appreciated by those men
You were shot point blank
In an open street at night
They killed not only you but the truth itself
'Cause you were too uncomfortable for them to who tried to rule our world
They conspired to make you disappear for all eternity
One - You had your ways
Nine - To make our world
Eight - A better place
Six - For us to live
Was when our fairytale came to an end
One - You had your ways
Nine - To make our world
Eight - A better place
Six - For us to live
Was when our fairytale came to an end
'Cause you were too uncomfortable for them to who tried to rule our world
They conspired to make you disappear for all eternity
One - You had your ways
Nine - To make our world
Eight - A better place
Six - For us to live
Was when our fairytale came to an end
One - You had your ways
Nine - To make our world
Eight - A better place
Six - For us to live
Was when our fairytale came to an end
There was something in the sky that day.
I remember.
Prisoners around got scared at once
Collisions of hunger spread in cause of rain
Finally once empty shops filled with
Feared human beings
And someone said:
one little drop
dropped on my face
and the second one
dropped on my six year old friend's
all of a sudden
some huge hand grabbed us
I slipped
but my friend stayed
and was taken with the crowd
voices of panic were heard everywhere around
and one of them came from my mother's mouth
as she saw me
dancing in the rain
dancing in the rain
with my hands up
couldn't just figure out
it's funny acid taste
with my hands up
couldn't just figure out
1986, there's Roos on my feet.
I'm riding in the back seat staring at the back of my momma's head.
I'm daydreaming my day away.
I make a wing with my hand and stick it out the window.
Oh, nothing but safety and wonder.
Sunlight shining on the vinyl seats.
Brown corduroy pleats.
I'm buckled in the back seat.
Humming right along to the radio.
I'm just singing my day away.
I see a man on a motorbike.
Spooked out in this little house,
Did anyone else just see that thing move?
Recall the things I had before,
I feel as if there's someone else in the room
And I know one day that creepshow is gonna rise
I know one day that creepshow is gonna rise
I know one day that creepshow is gonna rise
The creepshow, oh it's gonna rise
And lost soul, you're making me tip-toe,
I'm a scaredy-cat with any kind of sound
And oh no, I sound like a weirdo,
Talking about all these spirits hanging around
And I know one day that creepshow is gonna rise
I know one day that creepshow is gonna rise
I know one day that creepshow is gonna rise
The creepshow, oh it's gonna rise
And freaky horror movie lighting,
All the hairs on the back of my neck are standing up
And please don't open that basement door,
The lights go and now you know you're fucked
And I know one day that creepshow is gonna rise
I know one day that creepshow is gonna rise
I know one day that creepshow is gonna rise
The creepshow, oh it's gonna rise
back up, back up
i've got a story to tell
about this girl that i fell for before
and the way that i melt whenever i'm around her
she's got me wrapped around her finger
i'm falling faster for her, i'm barely hanging on
and it'll take the world to turn me backwards
a natural disaster
so good she can't be wrong
i'm barely hanging on
i know that i've been falling apart
to the beat of your heart, through your chest
i confess it's my favourite song
she is fancy free, floating on the breeze
when she smiles at me only i know
she's got me wrapped around her finger
i'm falling faster for her, i'm barely hanging on
and it'll take the world to turn me backwards
a natural disaster
so good she can't be wrong
i'm barely hanging on
so it goes 1, 2, 3, 4
she smiles and i'm on the floor
so good to me, she can't be wrong
wrapped around her finger
i'm falling faster for her
i'm barely hanging on
she's got me wrapped around her finger
i'm falling faster for her, i'm barely hanging on
and it'll take the world to turn me backwards
a natural disaster
so good she can't be wrong
