Ron Artest - Champions (internet, 2010)

seeing as this is a music tumblr, I never got the chance to say congratulations to the Lakers last Thursday night. Now I did Between this song’s release and Ron-Ron’s absolutely ridiculous acceptance speech (shout out his hood and his psychiatrist), Artest has done enough things in the last week to prove why he’s the most entertaining psychopath in the league. That, and he’s on the upcoming box of Wheaties.

This song is actually pretty good, if you ignore the chorus. Artest isn’t a bad rapper, really; not a great one either, but he’s competent enough. He does sound a lot like Juelz here, though.

QUEENSBRIDGE!

Ron Artest (feat. Max B, Mistah F.A.B. & Mike Beck) - Something Tonight

oh, Ron Artest. You’re allowed to be crazy, especially when you team up with one of the last original rappers from New York, and one of the two most talented rappers locked up who’ll never see the outside of a correctionals facility again. Fabby Davis drops a dope verse too - Mike Beck, who I’m not really familiar with (he’s also apparently dead) does something insignificant - at least he got to share the stage with two underrated rappers and a future NBA Champion.
