Hip Hop Basketball Dream Team

Hip Hop and basketball seem to have a lot of connections and work well together.  It seems that basketball players always are trying to be rappers and vice versa.  I have decided to create my All hip hop basketball dream team.


Referee 

Too Short


He's old and we know he can preform the essential job function.

Owner

P. Diddy, Puff Daddy, the Diddy Man Sean Combs


The guy has more so much money it's ridiculous and I don't think he'd be scared to spend money in the free agent market.  Also I'm sure he'd be poppin' bottles in the locker room after wins too which would make for a great owner.


Coaches 

Birdman and Uncle Luke


Both guys have experience as well as Uncle Luke will do what it takes to motivate his players.

Bench

Aaron Carter PG


He's young and small but he has a lot of potential apparently the boy can ball.

Waka Flocka Flame PF/C


I love his energy off the bench he can go get some rebounds.  According to sources he's 6'4" and 230 pounds.  Also we all know what the man does under the basket.

Slim Thug PF/C


He is listed at 6'6" 250 pounds.  He's a scary dude and I'm sure he balls like a boss.

Bow Wow PG


Now he's gotten bigger since Like Mike and I think he's still got some skills even without the sneakers. He's had his chance against Kobe and got worked but who could beat Kobe 1 on 1?


Starting 5

Point Guard- Nelly


The man can hoop and he's a great athlete could have played baseball possibly in the majors.  I like his athleticism and size over Bow Wow to start.

Shooting Guard- Chris Brown



As we've seen with his dancing he's quick and can jump.  He seems to have long arms and can actually hoop.


Small Forward- J. Cole


It seems like all hims albums and mixtapes are named after basketball and after seeing the celebrity game I'm not surprised.  He's 6'3" so he's a good size as well.

Power Forward- The Game


He's 6'4" and had a scholarship to play at Washington State University not to mention he's terrifying. I think he'd be a good addition to the paint.

Center- 2 Chainz


2 Chainz is a tall dude listed at about 6'6".  While he's a little older now he played basketball for Alabama St. and I like the veteran presence on the court.


What's your Hip Hop basketball Dream Team???

The Rise of Future Hendrix

Image
About five years ago a friend told me to download the Pulto mixtape by Future. I was familiar with him from the couple of singles he had but had never listened to a full mixtape/album of his. The mixtape was filled with numerous autotuned filled ballads as well as high-energy bangers. I enjoyed the majority of the songs and something about Future's energy was extremely infectious. Fast forward to two years ago and Future solidified himself as one of my favorite rappers. In the span of less than a year Future released five projects: Monster/Beast Mode/56 Nights/Dirty Sprite 2/What a Time to be Alive. The numerous hits and anthems that came were tremendous from March Madness to Thought It Was a Drought every hip hop fan knew every word. Fast forward to this week I was extremely excited to learn that Future would release two albums in one week. With little to no warning, Future dropped the self-titled album FUTURE. The album is high energy with catchy hooks and fast-paced beats

What's better I Need a Girl Part 1 or Part 2?

Image
In the year 2001 P Diddy released the two-part song I Need a Girl. Both songs have a clear distinct sound while being equally fire. Below I will do my best to articulate what separates the two parts of I Need a Girl and which is better. Part 1 P Diddy featuring Usher and Loon A slow pure r&b track with very little bass. Usher kills this song, he even sings over himself in the chorus. Part 2  P. Diddy featuring Loon, Ginuwine & Mario Winans For all you young kids out there this is what a true remix or part two looks like. Using the same theme/melody but flipping it to creating a new song. This part features more an of a hip hop vibe with verses and an r&B chorus. Who can forget Diddy's classic "take that, take that" What part of I Need a Girl is better? In my humble opinion, it has to be part 2. The combination of the bounce in the bass and melody drop will make anyone lose it. You also get what is most likely P Diddy's best l

Drake's Hidden Gems

Image
Aubrey Grahm aka Drizzy aka October's Very Own aka Drake is no doubt a superstar. He has transitioned from child actor to a rapper on Lil Wayne's Young Money label to an icon. His music has become anthems for months and he recently hosted SNL. With this level of popularity, it's hard to imagine his music being anything close to hidden but there are a lot of great songs from Drake you may have missed. I remember listening to Ransom feat. Lil Wayne in my 98 Jetta in 2008 as a Senior in high school via cassette adapter. I am going to try and introduced your or reintroduce you to some great Drake songs you may have glossed over or simply missed. Little Bit feat. Lykke Li Check out this chill love song featuring singer Lykke Li.  I'm Still Fly One of Drake's best early songs. Stuntin' feat Lil Wayne This is a song off of Lil Wayne's Dedication 3 when we didn't know much about Drake. Congratulations Drake does a verse over some Coldpa
