4:35am

"I hope this picture gets posted so my recruits can see it!"

 There's never a surprise when the SWAT team kicks in a boyz front door at 4:35am. As a matter of fact, most people in the neighborhood are up watching the police come down the street as they drive right through the front yard with the battering ram extended. As they bring folks out and sit them in the lawn with their hands tied with those plastic joints, ole lady Johnson sits in the window and says, " I knew it was just a matter of time."

Well...it's just a matter of time before John Calipari leaves the University of Kentucky in shambles just like he did at UMass and Memphis. As a matter of fact, he's gonna to leave Rupp Arena in ruins because he's completely out of control. At this point he may as well be blind folded driving backwards down I-75 butt naked with combat boots on. 

 All in the name of impressing recruits this cat has embraced rapper/singer Drake to the point where he's completely disrespected his current team and the university. This dun GAVE Drizzy a national championship ring that even has his name on it bruh. That means that the athletic department signed off on it. When did winning stop being enough to attract the best players?

 Ima keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! The only people that are supposed to have a ring are those that sacrificed and earned it! They are the coaching staff, players and support staff (trainers, sports information staff and other basketball personnel). Not some cat that's hanging around the program. What Cal has done has trivialized everything that his players and his staff have worked for and even if boyz aren't saying it they're thinking it. You can't rock  another man's championship playboy! That's like the academy giving Anthony Davis Drake's Grammy. He had nothing to do with it and Drake is buster for accepting it. 

I know y'all remember when KeyShawn Johnson called Stirling Sharp out for wearing the Super Bowl Ring that his brother Shannon gave him on national TV during the post game of Super Bowl XXXVII. When they came back from the commercial break Stirling had taken that joint off because he knows that he didn't earn it and boyz that have earned one were salty about him wearing one.  

If you never played sports then let me break it down to you like this. If you worked your tail off to get through law school or medical school or even just to graduate from high school and on your graduation day they gave your diploma or degree to some cat that just showed up from time to time to kick it. How would you feel? 

 When you turned 21 everybody wanted to go the club and drink legally for the first time, right? For those of us that grew up in the hood there was always and unwritten rule that one cat in the group wouldn't drink or would drink very little so that he could watch out for everybody else. There always has to be somebody thinking straight because things can go south real quick. Even Canadian Geese live by that rule. Whenever you see them eating there's always one goose standing straight up looking out for the rest of the group. Well... the good people at Kentucky obviously aren't familiar with that rule because everybody's drinking the Calipari Kool Aid and nobody's paying attention to the Feds(NCAA) sitting in the green van at the end of the block waiting for boyz to get sloppy. 

No one in Lexington saw anything wrong with Cal giving Drake a ring because it's great for recruiting purposes. They're saying that he's appealing to young recruits.  I completely get what he's trying do bruh but that just came with a hefty price tag. Drake may be a fan of the program but when you let a cat like that in you open your players up to a world of temptation that they can't handle. 

Drake is 25 years old. He's not hanging out with Calipari. He's hanging out with his players. There are no rules in Drake's world but there are plenty of them in the world of an NCAA student-athlete. I know y'all remember when Uncle Luke(2LiveCrew) was kickin' it with the University of Miami Football team in the late '80's to early '90's? They could never prove that Luke was giving players improper benefits because it was his word against the rumors. Also, because Luke grew up in the hood and he was from Miami he lived by the G-Code. No snitchin'! Drake has no loyalty to Kentucky because he's from Canada! So when the relationship goes south and it will, he's gone put them on blast. 

Total player violation! 

We live in the world of social media now and everybody's paparazzi with their cell phones on Twitter and Facebook. The problem is, very few young people know how to be responsible with it and that includes 18 to 19 year old superstar student-athletes. What happens when one of those "one and done" freshman hook up with Drake and he fly's them out to LA or the "A" to kick it and they Tweet about it or better yet post a picture of it? 

I know there are cats reading this saying, how is that any different from Snoop being on the sidelines at the USC games bruh? I'm glad you asked! Snoop is 41 years old bruh and he's not hanging with 18 or 19 year old cats. Even if he were hanging with Reggie Bush etc back in the day, he lived in LA and stars are always at the games. It's LA! But isn't USC on probation too? Sure, it was because of Bush fooling around with agents but it was still guys hanging around the program. You can't have boyz hanging around and especially not in Kentucky. When you show up in Lexington you're loud bruh because ain't nothing there but Kentucky basketball. You just shined a light on a joint that doesn't need one on. Calipari is already on the radar because of his past. In the streets they call that being "Hot!"

Remember when Frank Lucas said to his brother in American Gangster, " You loud bruh! That outfit says arrest me!" Having Drake around the program only draws attention to it that Calipari doesn't need. What happens when he brings the rest of his Young Money click around that also don't understand the rules of the NCAA. Again these cats in the music business don't live by rules. In their world anything goes.  

This is the same cat that was throwing bottles in a New York night club at Chris Brown over Rihanna just a month or so ago. This is the same cat that hit  San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker with broken glass during that same altercation causing him to have eye surgery in which he is suing the club for $20 million for failing to provide "sufficient and efficient security." This is the same cat that runs with Wizzy. Who is the same cat the Oklahoma City Thunder denied access to a playoff game this year because he was beefin' with James Harden over Trina. Who is the same cat that got into a altercation at that same game(after Durant hooked him up) with a 5 year old girl's father because he was rude to her when she asked for an autograph. These are the cats that you want around your program bruh? All in the name of recruits? 

 What happens when they act a fool at UK and the school bans them from coming around the program? Drake doesn't live by the G-Code because he's not from here. Like I stated earlier he's from Canada. So guess what? Now he's on a record dissing the program and Calipari by putting everything on blast. He'll tell it all because whenever it goes bad and boyz that have no loyalty to the players or the program WILL snitch. Remember when ole boy Nevin Shapiro gave it all up on the U last summer after he was arrested for running a Ponzi scheme? Why, because he had no allegiance to Miami or any of the cats he was kickin' it with. He just wanted to be down but when it went south he took the U with him.

 That's why I'm sitting in the window with ole lady Johnson just waiting for the boyz to come rolling down the street at 4:35am. But guess what? Your boy Calipari is as slippery as fish grease so he'll climb out of the back window and be coaching somewhere else just like Pete Carrolle when they tear the door off of the hinges and start pulling down banners and erasing victories in Lexington. But who are you going to blame because everybody knew something was wrong with the suit when they tried it on in Memphis? You know that joint didn't fit right but it looked good so you bought it anyway. Giving Drake that ring was the beginning of the end and you can quote me on that bruh!

Holla At Ya Boy!
