I don't care that he is a baby, I liked the first one linked here a while back. This sucked and Kevin Love is a better rapper it seems. haha, autotune or something?
That's fair. Rice is worth more than Love. If they take HCP's dead-weight contract with it... now we talking.
Awesome commercial, funny concept, and I LOVE that Dame doesn't give a fuck about what anyone thinks. Most NBA stars would not agree to be a baby for a campaign, but Dame did it and is embracing it. He doesn't take himself too seriously, which is fantastic to see from our franchise player.
It was hilarious. I'd love to see what NBA players are the most endorsed. I think he's top 5. From Portland too...
There's a new Rat Pack in the NBA...what I'm impressed with is how Dame builds his brand...looks like a pattern with CP3 and Dame now doing the Don Stockton one and now the baby Dame one. ...the best thing to me is that after years of saying why nobody wants to come to Portland...it's looking more and more like Dame is the reason they'll want to come to Portland
We need an S2 version of this! Who would rap? We need to get the BenDavis FAMS guy back, cause he was so "street" and knew all about the prison life son!
If you can, I have a question for you...have you ever contributed to 4 bar Friday or talked with Dame about hip hop, rap, whatever?
I have not. I don't have rhymes...... but my 10 year old wrote a poem about sports and not giving up and she rapped it and I submitted it. Dame retweeted and she got TONS of hip hop followers. Very funny. As far as talking music with him, yes quite a bit actually. I am a music junkie, ALL kinds! so we have had some cool chats about music and what it means to us. He knows his stuff.
When that whole rap, break dancing thing broke in NYC...my kids were way into it..my oldest sons were original skateboarders in SoCal when Tony Hawk was just startin' out..they're on some film with him. I was a Jazz, Salsa, Blues, Soul, Funk snob then...I couldn't hang with drum machines or cheezy keyboards at all. I was playing in cover bands that worshiped Tower of Power and Al Green. Checked it out later and finally got it...I kind of like the acid jazz thing..Blueseum type stuff. In my day, rap was either James Brown or Johnny Cash
