Not one of the above "musicians" know anything at all about music. Just imagine...calling "rap" music, when it is in fact the product of a feverish mind and tongue. And there's no music as such about it. Oscar and MannyP have sung a few ballad type songs, for which you only need to know the words and keep fairly close to the tune. Oh yes, and roll your eyes and look soulful at certain phrases. As musicians they are a pair of crappers, and would starve if they had to depend on it.
The best REAL boxer-musician was actually a musician-boxer named Tokunbo Olijade from Vancouver. He supported himself as a musician (a REAL musician) whilst becoming a leading 154 lb contender. He decided he liked music better and retired, going to new York where he is a well known figure in music circles. He plays the trumpet and flugel-horn, and, although I dislike pop jazz intensely, he's damned good at it.
