The more I think about it, the more Action Bronson comes off unoriginal.
Let's look at few things about his persona.
- Action Bronson raps about wrestling and food.
- Ghost always references food in his raps + dude was holding it down for wrestling way back in the Apollo Kids video, when he was rocking the Championship belt.
- Pun was also always rappin' about food
- Action Bronson tone and free association confabulation raps
- I don't even have to go into detail about this regarding Ghost - who owns this style with a vengeance.
- Action Bronson always has pics of him doing the splits with his hands in the air - as seen on the Mr. Wonderful cover
- That was Pun's logo
- Action Bronson video for Strictly 4 My Jeeps show him playing basketball being the fat dude that can ball
- Pun already did that in the Whatcha Gonna Do video with Fat Joe ballin'...pretty sure Bronson used the same location for the video too
- Action Bronson has his little videos of him giving cooking tips
- Ghost already did that with his Tips On Living series.
- Action Bronson had Asians getting it from behind while cleaning on Saaab Stories album cover
- A year before, Ghost dropped his verse on New God Flow, where he specifically mentioned "Asians get it from behind while they cleaning my wok".
I'm sure there's more, and i might be reaching with a couple of these, but this is just off the top of my head.
