And I was like, 'Man, what are you doing? That looked just ridiculous.' He said, 'No, no, it's Tony Yayo, he's doing this thing.' And I'm like, 'I'll do it on TV,' and he's like, 'I dare you to do it on TV.'"Īfter Cena did the gesture, it struck a chord with wrestling fans, and the F9 star would continue to do the maneuver frequently. It was like, he put his hand over his head and just kind of bobbed his head like that. "He heard 'My Time Is Now' and just did this dance that Tony Yayo did in one of the G-Unit videos. However, to make the move more visible to the WWE fans sitting in the nosebleed seats, Cena made his hand gesture much more animated by waving it in front of his face rapidly. Cena found it to be ridiculous, but when Sean dared him to do it on television, the WWE legend actually did it. At the time, Sean did a similar gesture with his hand by holding it in front of his face while slightly bobbing his head. But for fans of John Cena's bold persona, You Can't See Me will be Chain Gang-approved.Cena explains that Sean was once played Cena's WWE entrance theme music. It's not a hip-hop body slam by any stretch. They establish a mildly funky percussion roll for Cena and collaborator/cousin Trademarc to rap over standouts include "Make It Loud" and the mildly crass "Summer Flings." Cena also gets assistance from hip-hop veteran Bumpy Knuckles/ Freddie Foxxx - they're best on "Bad, Bad Man." When he's not bragging about his lovemaking or MC'ing skills, the rap-wrestler takes off-kilter shots at pop culture and sports drinks, referencing everything from soft-core porn and "Mean Jean" Okerlund to his "Oh" face, Manny Ramirez, and the Legend of Bagger Vance. Besides "Don't F*** With Us" and a few tracks from Jake One, most of the boards are handled by Chaos & Order. But he's also as foul-mouthed (the Eligh-produced "Don't F*** With Us") and boastful as any of his microphone heroes (at times his style seems to cross 50 Cent with vintage Everlast), and the unremarkable production is still capable enough to move You Can't See Me out of the novelty aisle. Cena includes his theme music, and retains his in-the-ring brashness.
But it isn't a successor to 1985's hokey, crassly promotional Wrestling Album, where WWF personalities like Captain Lou Albano and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper slobbered their way through insultingly chintzy theme-pop. Released amidst the hubbub of his WrestleMania win and featuring his customized championship belt (with spinners!) on the cover, the album will boost his ringside marketing. You Can't See Me is Cena's studio debut as an MC. But there's also Cena the freestyle rapper, who tries to have as many shout-outs to, say, Ultramagnetic MC's as he does the Ultimate Warrior. That's more or less how Cena's WWE SmackDown! boilerplate reads. At WrestleMania 21, John Cena defeats JBL for the WWE Championship, capping his raucous three-year climb to professional wrestling's top turnbuckle.
