Watchmen Rap Video (1985, VHS)

Found an old VHS tape with this rap video "Watch It" by Luscious C and DJ Fist.

With "Watchmen" now out as a movie by 300's Zack Snyder, I figured now was a good a time as any to share it with the world. Sorry about the quality!

All you comic book fans should already know the back story - after the Keene act was passed, it was against the law for superheroes or "masked vigilantes" to fight crime. So another set of heroes: Luke Cage (aka: Power Man) and Iron Fist, teamed up for this One Hit Wonder from 1985 rapping for the Watchmen and all the other heroes out there to quit watching crime, and to start fighting it again.

LYRICS:
Got the man on my shoulder telling me not to curse
When the commies wanna bomb me - you tell me whats worse?
The world is gone crazy in its arm race,
While Ozimandias sells toys and toothpaste

Wheres Mommy, Daddy , a little child asks
They aint coming home cuz the man banned the masks
I coulda lifted the bus off em - you know thats a fact
But we cant get involved cause the Keene act

Say no, then go and tell
What the hell, tell who?
Not you? Whatchu gonna do
Do nothing to stop it
Yeah Keene Act I got it
Now Watchmen just watch it,
with their hand in their pocket

Vigilante is what they call my boy Rorschach
Doing what he do cuz the Keene act is wack
I sleep better knowing that he got my back
Since he wont hang his mask up on the mask rack

Doctor Manhattans more god than man
Do anything he wants with the wave of his hand
But will he save the day? No! Not a chance
Wont even take the time to make a pair of pants

He rolls around in his birfday day suit
Silk Spector and Nite Owl, dont even give a hoot
Your right to protest? Governmentll pull it
Comedianll shoot you with the rubber bullet

Say no, then go and tell
What the hell, tell who?
Not you? Whatchu gonna do
Do nothing to stop it
Yeah Keene Act I got it
Now Watchmen just watch it,
with their hand in their pocket

Caddy in my driveway, and pumas on my feet
My names Luscious C reporting live from the streets

Yeah right. DJ Fist punched a dragon to death. Has Rorschach ever killed a dragon with his bare hands? I don't think so. And Luscious Lucas? Can't nobody take him down, he's the scariest nigga that ever lived. Who else has the balls to go fly all the way to Latveria to beat the tar out of Doctor Doom himself for trying to escape paying debts owed? Not to mention the whole unbreakable skin thing...`

Rorschach is just a psycho in a mask. No contest.

As far as I am concerned, this song is the only good thing to come from the Keene Act.
