Weekly Rap Line

With the playoffs looming, I thought it was only fitting to relive an oldie, but a goodie. This week's rap line comes from Styles P in the And1 Commercial, which describes almost prophetically Danny Ainge's best acquisition to date.


"Kevin Garnett
Da Kid
The player of the present and the future Ideal player of the 21st century
You call him KG da Kid
But if you seen him with basketball
You know that he grown
You seen him on the ball courts You know that he home
It's like every dunk is drastic
First to get drafted outta high school since Moses Malone Everybody gotta earn they turn
I think da Kid game got hotter since his jersey burned
And you couldn't find a finer kid
Than the 7 foot South Carolina kid obsessed with ball
And the rim need a hard net
Better act like you know C'mon dogg, that's Kevin Garnett
Bout to get an And1 all in your mug (ya heard McDyess?? -Ed.)
Said he play around the clock cuz there's ball in his blood
He ain't think about a turnover
That's KG, he the player of the future
And the game about to turn over
Think you got game, then you gon' have to learn over"



ALSO - for those of you who are interested, Michael Wilbon (of PTI fame) wrote a great article in the Washington Post a couple years back about the relationship of Hip-Hop and the NBA.
