If rappers are gonna ball, then ballers are going to rap. They probably shouldn’t.
Floyd "Money" Mayweather: "Yep"
Before he takes on Manny Pacquiao this weekend in an epic battle of Two Men Past Their Prime in a Fight That Should Have Happened Half a Decade Ago, let's reflect on Floyd Mayweather's brief dalliance into hip-hop. Dropping "Floyd" and leading with his nickname, you would think a man named "Money" would spring for a more professional camera crew for his music video. However, "Yep" indulges in the simple things: jewelry, parties, bikini girls, and handheld camcorders.
Choice Lyric: "They see the cars / They see the chips / They see the hos /They on my dick"
Jason Kidd: "What the Kidd Did"
Former NBA superstar and current Milwaukee Bucks head coach Jason Kidd began and ended his rap career with "What The Kidd Did," a song recorded after his final season at Cal and before becoming the second overall pick in the 1994 NBA Draft. "What The Kidd Did" reflects on Jason's college and high school careers in a very (some might say too) literal fashion.
Choice Lyric: "Let’s go back a few years to be exact / High school the fools didn’t know how to act / At St. Joe’s the hos treated me different / But I was good on the dribble like an infant"
"Macho Man" Randy Savage: "Be a Man"
The title track to Randy Savage's 2003 album, "Be a Man" is meant to be a diss track aimed at Savage's longtime archnemesis, Hulk Hogan. All of this is sort of surprising until you think about it and then it's not.
Choice Lyric: "They call you Hollywood? Don't make me laugh /
'Cause your movies and your acting skills are both trash / Your movies straight to video; the box office can't stand / While I got myself a feature role in Spider-Man"
Robert Brooks: "Jump (Into the Stands)"
Anyone who's watched the Green Bay Packers play a home game over the last two decades knows it's a Lambeau Field tradition for players to jump into the crowd after every touchdown. However, as the years pass, few outside of Wisconsin remember how the tradition started. Luckily, the man who made the celebration famous, former Packers wideout Robert Brooks, recalls in explicit detail the history of the NFL's most enduring touchdown celebration in "Jump (Into the Stands)." Long story short: Brooks began the move when he saw Packers safety LeRoy Butler try and fail miserably to clear the barrier between the field and the bleachers.
Choice Lyric: "My idea came from LeRoy Butler ya know / But he stuck to the wall like Velcro."
