    Pretty sick. Not as monotone sounding like all of his 4 bar Friday's. I dig it.

    I liked it! The piano was original. I want to hear something a little more uptempo next.

    If I'm a big time artist Im hittin Dame up for at least a feature, one because he's good and two, cuz it's all about that name recognition. Production was alright but not solid... he'd sound even better workin with a top notch studio.

    I don't get it. I can appreciate that he's good at it, but I just don't get it.

    I guess DOLLA stands for Different On Levels the Lord Allows.. which I think is pretty tight. I knew "Dolla" was too ordinary and unimaginable for Dame.

    I AM old and white. And I don't know if he's got hip hop (or rap....or whatever) talent. I just hope he keeps his focus on what allows him to play music mogul. And that is basketball. He can rap all he wants after we win a ring or two.....

    Does the above cement my old white guy credentials........??

    I bet Dame spends plane flights writin'. He probably has a notebook and just picked a verse to rap over a beat, which probably took less then 30 minutes to record. I'm not worried about him losing focus on the court because of music.
    And as a young white balla' that works out to hip hop on the court, I can honestly say he has talent.
    He'll be an even better rapper when he learns to change speeds with his flow, just like he'll be better when he can change speeds on the floor

    Clint Dempsey has a rap album. Don't think it helped his game though.

    Dempsey plays soccer. Nor exactly rap material right there. Dames expressing his roots by doing what makes him Dame. Incomparable.

    So Dempsey should have cut a jazz fusion record?

    I hope he does a dual album with Mumford and Sons. I'd buy you a copy.

    And I'll get you Dame's debut album with a fake gold chain and some cheap shades so you can swagout to it.
