[edit]Rap song I forgot the name of
[edit]Hello everybody,
I vaguely remember a rap song from the 80s or 90s that goes something along the lines of "from Brooklyn to the Barrows". I have tried searching on a search engine but to no avail. Munci (talk) 14:28, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Munci: Das EFX released a song "Brooklyn to T-Neck in 1992. RudolfRed (talk) 22:26, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- @RudolfRed: Thank you for the idea, which seems plaisible, given what I said. On the other hand, having consulted the lyrics, [1] the title does not appear to be in the lyrics. To clarify, the element I mentioned is in the lyrics but not necessarily the title. Munci (talk) 05:57, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
- Check out Sylvester "Rock The Box", contains the lyrics "From Brooklyn to the Bronx". --Jayron32 12:17, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

"Both men" refer to what?
[edit]From here, Both men left the company in protest following the incident and formed the WWWF in the process, awarding Rogers the new WWWF World Heavyweight Championship in April of that year.
What does "Both men" refer to? I only find one man in the sentence i.e Rogers. Rizosome (talk) 20:05, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
- Seems like it would be one of the McMahons, maybe Vincent J. McMahon. --←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 20:50, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
- Since "Both men" awarded Rogers the new WWWF World Heavyweight Championship, Rogers is not one of the two. Reading the text, I think that it refers to Vincent J. McMahon and Toots Mondt, the people referred to in the last sentence of the preceding section, "Together they were very successful ...". --Lambiam 01:21, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- That's exactly what it means. I have reworded the paragraph for clarity. --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 14:46, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
I got the answer from this line: Reading the text, I think that it refers to Vincent J. McMahon and Toots Mondt, the people referred to in the last sentence of the preceding section, "Together they were very successful ...". Rizosome (talk) 22:05, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
