Tiger Woods and his infamous affairs led to a firestorm of media coverage, South Park parodies, Porn stars desperately trying to guzzle 15 minutes of fame like a money shot from one of their films and some of the most entertaining text messages ever. It also provided rappers an outlet to drop some Tiger related lines, something T.I quickly did.
Washington D.C. rapper Wale took it a bit further and just released a new song called “Eye of The Tiger” that not only samples a Tiger voicemail, but also tackles the whole issue itself.
The new song features Wale rapping from Tiger’s perspective, hence the title. He dropped it via his @Wale Twitter page and it’s quickly taken off. You can listen to it below.

Say what you want about Tiger’s moral issues, but they’re definitely seemed to be a little extra satisfaction taken on the part of some people in punishing him for it. You can read between the lines when comparing it all to Ben Roethlisberger to see what I’m saying or just listen to the bars Wale drops in the song.
If the social and racial story lines are too much for you, you can always enjoy this more comedic Tiger-sampled rap video.
Regardless of all the stuff off the golf course, I can’t wait to see Tiger win again. Heck, even if he doesn’t win it’s still always worth a good laugh anytime he shoots a 69.
