Best (and Worst) Rap Albums Put Out By Athletes By etriplett [19 more lists]
All athletes want to be rappers. Some have tried, most have failed. Here's a look at some of the more memorable rapletes. These are simultaneously the best, and worst, rap albums put out by athletes. Note though if you are a successful rapper, it is a good idea to include an athlete in your video, usually wearing an obnoxious chain. If you are however, a successful drug dealer, don't include your friend who's from your hood, but made it in the NBA in your video entitled, "Stop Snitching". It will not look good for your friend.

Kobe Bryant
I don't know what's worse, that there's no actual music video for this song (that was from the 2000 album "Visionz", which was never released because Columbia Records thought it was that bad) or the fact that you never do figure out if she loves him or his cash. I think if Kobe could hire a record producer and manager as skilled as his lawyers, he might have a hit record. Or he could just stick to playing basketball.BUY @ amazon -

Chris Webber
Wow. Chris Webber. I really wanted this album to help me remember you as someone other than the guy that called time-out when they were out of time-outs during an NCAA final game. I was only able to listen to this song once, he starts rapping at about 1:13 and it's like listening to a 50 cent record way slowed down. I couldn't follow his train of thought one minute he's talking about hennesy, then Jerry Springer, then how he feels like he's "fighting life with a gun with no clip"BUY @ amazon - 3
The Rock
It's sort of a marketing genius move as a musician to take a popular cliche phrase at the height of its popularity and integrate it into your song. If you're a good enough producer, you can make it happen. Too bad it didn't work in this instance. Luckily this song is 95% Fugees, and very little Rock which gave him the opportunity to focus on his acting career, and we all know how amazing that has turned out. Word. Check out Tooth Fairy in 2010. Don't act like you don't want to.BUY @ amazon
Someone should have made a song that included a dance move of pulling a magic marker out of your sock and signing a football. -
- 4For some reason the song "Biological Didn't Bother" is one of those songs that randomly gets stuck in my head. Shaq actually didn't fail as miserably as his other raplete colleagues, but I would still say he's a better athlete than rapper. Is he a better rapper than free-throw shooter? Welll.....BUY @ amazon
- 5For some reason, I have a few Ron Artest songs on my Ipod. That reason is, to me, the songs are hilarious. When his album first came out it was described by one of my friends as a ""solid gold piece of s**t"". Translation: the album is produced really well. So, it's like looking at a solid gold piece of s**t. At first, you're like that is s**t, don't paint it gold and try to tell me it's not. But then you're like, but it's gold, and that's kind of awesome.BUY @ amazon
Also, I've never been able to find it, but I do remember one of his sample songs on his myspace page had a line that went something like, ""And no girls under ages, we don't want no court cases"".
And I miss following @RealRonArtest on twitter. Yes I know it wasn't him, but whoever it was, they were hilarious.
