"You wouldn't be ballin' if ya name was Spalding."
So I woke up this morning to someone playing Ron Artest new song Champions... -__- "They say we warriors." Well I am a Lakers fan but most definitely not a fan of that song at all. I don't understand why athletes think they are rappers. I was thinking you already have one half of the dream why aren't you satisfied?? Everything about the song kind of gets to me. Whoever is singing the hook, I would like to tell them that they are the very reason why this song will never be on my playlist. As I was wondering what the heaven Artest was doing with that monstrosity, I thought about the Hyperizers commercial that DJ Quik did with those basketball players. To me, that track was so bomb. It was infectious, made me wanna go cop some of them even though I was not a fan of the sneakers! It had Andre Iguodala from the Philadelphia 76ers as Chief Blocka, Mo Williams from the Cleveland Cavaliers as Fog Raw, Kevin Durant from the Oklahoma City Thunders as Velvet Hoop, and Rashard Lewis from the Orlando Magics as Ice-O. When this commercial was on tv I watched it so many times that I knew all the words! It was hilarious but nicely done. Definitely a fan of them. Each verse just flowed and there characters were too cool but at the same time humorous. Back in the Day all the boys I knew wanted to be in the NBA or be a rap star, if you did one of those things you didn't do the other. If you're already in the NBA don't start rapping. You're "rap career" will be short lived trust me, I don't care how dope you are. Do I need to bring up Shaq Diesel... didn't think so. There are plenty of other athletes that should not be rapping also therefore Ron Artest needs to stick to basketball... But they Hyperizers did it well so I applaud them and DJ Quik.
