Fun story:
I remember getting into a fight with this dude in high school because I said he looked like Craig Mack. I called him Crack Mack. I remember he pushed me and I round house kicked him in the head and he was knocked out.
^I wish a nigga would try to roundhouse me with a straight face.

Niggas was gettin’ robbed for them Starter NHL joints back in the day. I might cop me a Los Angeles Kings hat on principle. Snapback of course.

^I wish a nigga would try to roundhouse me with a straight face.
^ He gave me a lil push pause, which enabled that extra room for me to throw one up. By the time he threw up his hands, my foot met the side of his head and he was knocked out. I barely kicked him. It was just fast and unexpected, he was knocked out. The fucked up thing was the people around was gonna pick his ass up and throw him over the fence with a dog. I stopped them. That was fucked up tho.

*gets roundhoused in the brain*
That shit is HILARIOUS. with a round house, there is so much time to block/ move. unless you Bruce Lee… wait… let me find out Big Homie is that kid from the 2nd Ninja Turtles movie all grown up.

no shots..
Black people always looking for some free shit…lol They serving free ice cream and they on their third serving and going to go back before they shut the stand down to save for tomorrow…. I dont blame yall tho. Im about to do the same
June 10th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
yo I really don’t believe that BH round housed dude into oblivion….that has got to be the HARDEST strike to throw…
The odds of being a novice, successfully completing one, and knocking dude out easily have to be 1000-to-1

^Yes and no. BH said he got a couple TKD trophies. And top tier TKD students cant throw a kick just as fast if not faster than some can throw punches.
Still…

Big Homie if you weren’t Asian i prolly wouldn’t believe you either. that story sounds like some “what if…” type shit.
“what if a muthafucker actually roundhouse’d you in a fight? what would you do when you woke up, because in this hypothetical situ, you get K’d.”
