Jigga Gettin’ Hyphy! or How to Make This Year’s NBA Playoffs Interesting When the Warriors Are Kept Out of Them
“Eh nigga, I was in Oakland and Oakland like Brooklyn,” ~Jay-Z
While it has been an all too mediocre series between one average and another one above-average (because of one player) eastern conference teams, I’ve been thoroughly entertained by all of the shit talking and other antics during the Washington Wizards and Cleveland Lebron’s (I honestly couldn’t think of their team name for a few seconds there, haha) series.
It all started when Deshawn Stevenson called Lebron James, the Cavs superstar (who Nike compares to G-d with their whole ‘Witness’ marketing campaign, which is actually pretty offensive to me) “overrated.” Lebron replied saying, ‘That’s like comparing Soulja Boy to Jay-Z.’ Deshawn Stevenson then calls Soulja Boy and tells him that Jay-Z is disrespecting him, and then invites Soulja Boy to sit Courtside at the first Washington home game of the series. Too Much.
Soulja Boy has gotta be one of the funnest characters in hip hop right now.
You can read a lot about the rest of how this series “beef” (haha) has unfolded here, but i wanted to do a post on this because now Jay-Z has gotten involved by making a song to Too Short’s, “Blow the Whistle,” produced by Piur.
Haha, I’m sorry but i’m watching game 6 of the series right now, the game is being played in Washington D.C., and Deshawn just scored and they played part of Souja Boy’s “Crank dat,” this shit is just too hilarious to me.
Here’s the song tho.
Wow. Thank you to the internet for changing how fast information travels, so that i can hear a Jay Z diss of a basketball player during the playoff series that is still being played. It’s the simple things that get me.
Peace.

Sweet Jesus. DeShawn and Soula Boy gone fishin’. HELLA funny how he invited Soula Boy to the game. Jiggaman loves the Bay and the Bay loves him. DeShawn Stevenson is like the Fat Joe of bball. The second you forgot he existed, he has beef with somebody and gets his name all over the place. (Joey Crack: if you read this, please don’t come and shoot me. I love and respect all youve done for hip-hop but I think that since Pun died (RIP), you haven’t had your own style and have been rapping in the voice/style of whatever rapper happens to be the hottest at the moment or is being featured on your song. MY opinion. I could be wrong. Don’t kill me por favor.)
Boston vs. Lebron should be a good series (notice that I said ‘Boston vs Lebron’ and not the Cavs). I look for a clean sweep, but you never know. Lebron just might DECIDE to win, and that’ll be that for Boston.
Top 3 “Man-Boy” NBAers
1. Lebron James
2. Dwight Howard
3. Greg Oden (and he aint even played yet!)
*Monta woulda made it but he’s more like a “Boy-Man” right now. Give him 2 more years when he got a little goatee. He’ll be feelin’ himself and it’ll be a wrap for the Western Conference.
Fanatabulous post (your sports/rap posts GO)!

Hahaha! Yah trick!…I’ve done a sports/rap post before? That might be one of the reasons i don’t smoke, i already got a bad memory. My mom is watching “House” on tv right now and Kal Penn plays a doctor on the show, GRRREAT! Kumar goes. Lebron in 5 games, shocking EVERY single “analyst” on television. They get paid BREAD to talk about fucking basketball games…and not even well most of the time, i.e. Chuck “Shut the fuck up” Barkley.
Sandwiches go!
Peace.
