Michael Jordan: "What is a Rakim? Is that hard rap?"

[Booker T Garvey]

jordan is a hood legend true enough, but he came from a 2 parent home in the suburbs.

he use to listen to this before every practice and game for the dream team:

Youngsters don't understand that. They don't realize that people of Jordan's era listened mostly to R&B.

Exactly. R&B still dominated the charts back then and that's what his parents probably listened to (old & new school).

His parents probably listened to R&B and the Blues. But you are right.

 

[OG Talk]

Ain't Mike like 6 years older than Rakim? When he was in college the hottest rapper out was probably Kurtis Blow...By the time he got to the league he was too into hoops, golf and gambling to be following hip hop

You mean a two parent home in the Country. Folks have to remember that a lot of Black people Jordan's age are from the Country. A lot of Black people today still live in the Country.

I like how they broke it down to him.

 

[jwinfield]

Its well know that MJ doesnt fukk with black folks in the usa,

Well known from what

 

[Kid McNamara]

I see what you're saying but there's a bunch of ballers that played with Mike, round his age, that love hip hop music. I just find it funny that his sneakers is huge in our culture and it's history and that he doesn't even fvck with the music at all.

What does one have to do with the other?

This is absolutely fukking silly logic.

The exchange is money for product/skill/entertainment. He has no obligation to like what you like.

fukk is wrong with y'all?

Post where anyone said he is obligated to like hip hop music. Post it, dumb cac.

Ask a lot of these top younger athletes if they listen to Nas.

:nonikkas:

mj probably listen to eminem, bubba sparxx, and yelawolf.

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

Michael Jordan is from Brooklyn.

He was born in Brooklyn. Huge difference in being from somewhere. Pac was born in Harlem.

Jordan

the greatest basketball player of all time, probably out here bumping Elton John in the whip like "b-b-b-b-benny and the jetttts"

I'm a 6'8", black, used to bump Elton John (Love Lies Bleeding), Queen, The Police, The Beatles (Abbey Road), Paul Simon, Radiohead, Portishead, Smashing Pumpkins and a few others to basketball games.

Put so many nikkas on to Radiohead.

Years later, coaching these youngins, I put 'em on to all kinds of dope shyt. Got 'em listening to Beach House on some, "this that Kendrick sample." Got nikkas tweeting out Of Monster and Men and WU LYF lyrics.

with your lame ass comment.

 

[Samori Toure]

mj probably listen to eminem, bubba sparxx, and yelawolf.

More like Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, the Isley Brothers, Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye, the OJays. You know; basically all of the old school acts that rappers copy off of.

 

[Kid McNamara]

I doubt it. Part of the reason why, as much as I respect him as a legend and the greatest NBA player of all time, I don't fvck with Mike. He couldn't care less about Black Americans and the fact that we are the biggest consumers of his clothing and sneakers.

More of this dumbass logic. Sad thing is that nikkas actually eat this up.
