My beat is impetuous. My lyrics are impregnable, and I'm just ferocious.

Cool new video by MURS, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of Mike Tyson's Punchout. You might know MURS from some callabo's he's done with some big-time artists. He's mostly an underground guy. As a matter of fact, his name stands for Making Underground Raw Sh*t.

Anyways, this video is awesome for three reasons. It's wildly creative, it's nostalgic (who else got choked up when his Nintendo froze and he had to blow into the game cartridge) and it's a very accurate recreation of the original video game, right down to the fake character names and the frame by frame reproduction of the jogging scene.

Mostly, I just love the fact that it reminds me of the game. Man, I love Mike Tyson's Punchout. Hours of fun. I might even have to finagle a post about that game sometime in the not-to-distant future. Isn't it a little futzed up that we played a game with Mike Tyson in it as kids??? That guy is a goddamn crazy motherf*cker.
