Hater Tuesdays special: point guard bad rap showdown, The Glove vs T-Hud.
Earlier tonight at the big FTB quarterly planning meeting, the subject of bad athlete raps came up. Now, while some ballers have flexed some skills, most efforts were ill-advised at best. So, here’s a little summertime fun. One position. Two bad raps. Ten minutes of your life you can’t have back. Vote for the worst of the two. This thread will continue until we find something that will impair your sense of right and wrong forevermore, or until we flesh out a complete roster of inconprehensibly bad rapping ballers.
With regard to the tracks, I’ll keep it brief. The Glove’s beat is tight. Sounds like he hooked up with Ant Banks or one of the other old-school Yay Area beat makers of that era. But frankly, for all the trash that he famously talked, I expected more. I’m not sure, but I think that makes me madder. This is so bad. It’s Oaklandish, for sure. Just wack. In a way that makes you sad.
And then there’s T-Hud. When a love song (with a hook sung by Brandy’s little brother, no less) invokes even the possibility of putting a cap in your betrothed, things have come horribly, irrevocably off of the tracks. Quote: “And you ain’t the type of b%%#h I’ma send slugs through.” What? This is really, really bad. And the fact that he only sold like 74 copies of it makes it sadder still. But there is no room for sympathy here. Somewhere, some “yes” men needed to come with an emphatic “no.”
Again, vote for the wackest rapper baller. To the polls we go.

I can hear the Too $hort influences from GP.

Yeah. Me too. Somehow that makes me more upset. I’m sure that they kicked it. $hort was probably even there in the studio.

I’ll take Too Short influences over Ray-J’s horrible (and superlong) hook and T-Hud’s horrible raps. Is it called “Tru Love” because Hudson is somehow affiliated with Ron Artest’s “Tru Warrior” label? I hope so.
Um, Troy, sipping Malibu isn’t something to brag about, unless your name includes the words “Queen” or “Kim.”
And the beat is like something you’d hear while on hold with the phone company with a Casio beat over it. Kim Kardashian really got out of that sex tape scandal looking a lot better than Ray-J, didn’t she? Kardashian has her own TV show and dates Reggie Bush, while Ray-J does songs with Troy Hudson.

That’s not good if dating Reggie Bush equates to looking better than somebody. Great comment BASG - I’ll be sure to cut that Malibu line out of my 16 bars before I go in the studio.

Whatever you think of Reggie Bush as a player, I gotta think most huge-assed Hollywood socialites would choose Bush over Ray-J.

I expected GP’s on-court/off-court attitude to show up here. Instead he sounds like Too $hort’s polite, and less-talented distant cousin. Even then, it’s better than T-Hud’s canned ditty.
