In the past &#8220;A.I.&#8221; Allen Iverson and others have got behind the mic. Even get this&#8230;.Kobe Bryant tried to rap.<\/p>\n<p>Bryant tried to rap and a few years ago put out in my opinion one of WORST rap songs of all time with model Tyra Banks singing!!! I am telling you it was TERRIBLE!!!! Have not heard from the &#8220;Black Mumba&#8221; doing another song. THANK GOODNESS!! As far as Iverson&#8230;the dude has rapping skills. He really does. Now since he is retired from the NBA maybe he might try to rap again. We will see.<\/p>\n<p>Another NBA player who has tried to rap is Metta World Peace (formally Ron Artest). I have a few of his music videos that I have played on my music video\/interview program &#8220;Music Inner City TV&#8221; here in Western Washington state and here online. Truth be told Metta has done not to bad of a job. Some of his joints are not that bad. Or guess I can say I have heard worse for sure.<\/p>\n<p>M.W.P. who is now playing for the New York Knicks in the area where he grew up at records a few joints during the off season the last few years. He know has a new joint called &#8220;Peace&#8221; Please click the link about to hear the new song. Like I said I have heard much worse readers. That is for sure. Of course most people think it is a big joke that NBA and NFL players try to rap<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion Metta&#8217;s music is not a joke. He takes his music serious. He really does and it shows in the songs he has put our the years and so he does not want to be a joke. H really wants to be known as NBA player who can really rap. So listen to the song &#8220;Peace&#8221; by Metta World Peace and form your own opinions. \u00a0 \u00a0Gordon Curvey<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ARTICLE\/SONG FROM thegrio.com (please click here) NEW &#8220;Music Inner City Store&#8221; from CafePress.com!
