Stephen Jackson Says “F___ A Lockout”, Makes A Rap Video

NBA Champ and ’07 Warrior Stephen Jackson has been proving his worth on the hardwood for the past 11 years.  Now he’s ready to show you that he’s no chump on the mic, either.  That’s correct, folks; this song, performed by an NBA basketball player, is actually good.  I’m serious.  Not joking.

Now that I think about it, the fact that Jackson made a perfectly listenable track shouldn’t even come as a surprise to anyone who knows a damn thing about rap.  Stack Jack is a native of Port Arthur, TX; of course the motherf@cker can rap!  See for yourself…

“My pockets keep Bucks, like the same team I’m playin’ fo’”

Yup, completely forgot about that trade.  Stephen Jackson in Wisconsin?  Well, I guess he’s already experienced Indiana, so he’ll be alright.

“Too much time on my hands, whatchu think about this Muller?”

Creative punchline!  Damn nice watch, too.

“So while you broke I’m soo-woopin’ new coupin’, retarded red drophead lookin’ too stupid”

Showed a little flow there… and a blood affiliation; not that that was a secret.

The hook is excellent–I love how he incorporated various clippings of news broadcasts about the lockout.  It gave the song a more intense, serious tone.

I like the first verse better than the second, but he started off strong…

“I go hard as a crowbar to your glass jaw”

…and he was sure to keep it trill with the “Texas made, Texas raised” blurb.  For a second it was almost as if I was in the car bumping Slim Thug.  This sh!t is authentic Texas hip hop!

As for the video… it was your typical rap video–money, cars, and clothes.  The Marquis Daniels sighting at 2:24 adds a little intrigue to the visual.  Are he and Stack planning a collaboration?  ‘Quis raps too, but I don’t think he’s as nice as Jackson.

I’m going to go ahead and dub this the greatest rap song ever recorded by an NBA player.  Show me a better one… and just dare to tell Stephen Jackson otherwise.
