Really good entry with Ghostface. I know at one point I had the more Fish album but I never heard this before.

Lane wins WSOPC New Orleans; Eye of the Grinder; good news for NJ players

WSOP Bracelet Winner, Rulah Divine Releases “Eye of the Grinder” Single.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) have used a form of musical torture known as ‘earworm’ where they play a song on repeat until the sufferer ends up schizophrenic, and that’s precisely how I used to feel after six-weeks in the Rio listening to that goddam soundtrack.

It could get worse.

In 2017, Rulah Divine turned a $60 online satellite into a $262,501 score and a WSOP bracelet to boot after taking down a 1,750-entrant $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em event.

Divine has a fondness for all things WSOP, and as we head into the final weeks of the build-up to the 50th Anniversary, the bracelet winner has released a hip hop single “The Eye of the Grinder.”

According to reports, the Las Vegas resident is in discussion with WSOP officials to shoot a music video once the mothership is in situ in the Amazon Room.

Divine believes in his product.

“Nobody has really created a great poker song since Kenny dropped ‘The Gambler’ all those years ago,” Divine told PokerNews. “If anything, I feel like I’ve created the second-best poker song ever made out of respect for the legend. As a poker community we needed an anthem and I was more than happy to fulfill this need. Poker and hip-hop music are my two biggest passions and it was great to be able to merge them both together.”

The song is awful. Forced poker puns are terrible. Srslysirius and DRybes make it look easy to write a catchy poker tune. Not everyone has a talent for music (me included). Normally I wouldn't talk sh** about someones effort creating content... but as soon as you say the above you open the door.

"Push It To The Limit" in Scarface. They played cards or at least gambled in it, right? Ehhhh, guess not. DOH!

Im sure Rulah is a nice guy, but that song is trying too hard. It sounds like a mediocre East Coast style. The drum beats are impressive though, if anyone likes that they should check out AraabMuzik.

How many people can honestly identify with the lyrics? Maybe 50,000?

ESPN2 is showcasing the video on tonight's coverage of the Main Event. Thanks for all the feedback.

Norman Chad might be our biggest fan. He really helped us get the song and video in front of the people who were able to make this happen.

Maybe he made the song for himself and not for other people?

The guy sells 6 different colored flat brim hats. How difficult is that to manage?

Don't forget our 10 or so signed players to the coaching side of our brand. 100k+ in cashes for these guys over the past 6 weeks as well.

It's been a great start to the brand. If you follow me around long enough on these forums today you might learn a bit more. I'm an open book around here. "Eye of the Grinder" ... The best poker song of all time?

I was cracking up at the part where he went around the table profiling the players and am kinda disappointed it wasn't acted out in the music video.
