Curry's a fool... On this one he comes on like, "Gruden, you do look like Chuckie... And your momma and your sister look like Chuckie!"
You guys should call KMEL and request it, or even just listen for a while, they'll probably be playin it all weekend... They're doing a lot of Super Bowl contests and shit.

Well they dropped the names Rice, Brown and Janikowski in the version I heard on the radio and I know that wasn't in the original... Neither was Mark Curry talking shit about the Bucs... I don't know if it's called "Super Bowl Remix" or what I just heard it on the Friday before the game... It was when I was on my way to work so it was probably sometime between 9-10 AM.
They didn't win the super bowl, but they had the hottest rap song: Everybody wanted to be an Oakland Raider last week.
And although they lost, they had the hottest song out, even if team owner Al Davis didn't approve of it.
"Oakland Raiders," by East Bay-based rap duo The Luniz, was burning up California radio airwaves with fans religiously requesting the four-minute, 48-second song.
It was no different in Stockton, where DJs at local urban Top-40 station KWIN (97.7/98.3) played the track's infectious chorus:
Cuz I'm a Raider, Oakland Raider / From The Bay to L.A. to Las Vegas / Cuz I'm a playa, a boss playa / And if you with me pop your collar shake them haters / I'm a Raider
"Fans were going crazy over that song," said Amanda King, radio personality and program director at the Silverado Broadcasting-owned station. "We could only play the (hook) because we didn't get a clean edit, but everyone was caught on the the hype of the Raiders making it the Super Bowl."
One half of The Luniz, Knumskull, said he's glad the song has become popular.
"This is the best thing that could've have happened to us," said Knumskull, whose real name is Garrick Husbands. "Oakland's in the Super Bowl, and we got a song out about them at the same time. It feels good, because we did it for the town, the team and fans. And they love it."
The Luniz, which also includes rhyme-partner Yukmouth, are best know for their 1995 hit single "I Got 5 On It," from their debut album "Operation Stakola."Their lyrics weave comedy and street realism when rapping about drugs, sex and daily life.
Talking from his home in Southern California, Husbands said it's upsetting that the Raiders organization hasn't given it's official stamp of approval.
"We made another version where we name the (Oakland) player's names, and I know the team has heard that song. So why ain't they getting in touch with us?" he said.
In San Diego, an Oakland Raider public relations assistant, who did not want to give her name, said that she had not heard of The Luniz rapping tribute. "There's a rap song about the Raiders?" she asked. "It's not being played over here."
KWIN's King said the song worked perfectly with a promotion to give away playoff tickets.
