Sounds like Kevin Sanchez posts on here.

"I just felt like, I'm going to sign the group and slowly but surely I'm sure they would all fall out and we would have a Kobe record," Stoute says. "It's a natural thing that happens with new success — friends change, things grow apart. L.A. Reid taught me that. L.A. Reid signed Toni Braxton and all her sisters just to sign Toni Braxton."

This industry...

Good read.

This was a culmination of his go against the grain mentality as a basketball player. He doesn't conform to any standards and prefers to do it his way.

He 'Jiggy' era was wack to him and was contrived when he did the track with Tara Banks.

This story is just ridiculous.

"It wasn't a battle," Alvin Williams says. "I was walking out of the Hilton and bumped into him as he and a couple of buddies were getting out of a limousine. I said, 'What are you going to do?' He's like, 'Go to my room and rap until my voice gets hoarse.' I go, 'You can't rap.' It was like straight out of a movie. He says, 'I can't rap?' Then he turned to one of his friends and said, 'Give me a beat.' His friend started beatboxing. Kobe then rapped for about 15 minutes straight. By the time we finished, I swear to God, there are like 150 people circled around. Then everyone expected me to rap. I walked away. I don't rap. They had their whole routine. It was straight out of Krush Groove. He wasn't that bad. And I'm a rap head."

this nikka Kobe is crazy

You can tell Kobe was listening to Canibus around the time that track dropped

Or he either fell into a bathtub full of Keith Murray or Kool Keith CDs'

 

[Big Boss]

[2Quik4UHoes]

lmao@young Kobe creating spontaneous cyphers. I've had many laughs from Kobe's rap career but the nikka could actually spit. He was ahead of his time, if he came out now he'd prolly be one of the hardest emcees out.

I wonder what some of those NBA stars were thinking

Did they really think they was gonna blow up? Have a platinum album, tour 6 months out the year, have chart topping singles.....and still play 82 games of basketball? Allen Iverson by day, Jewelz by night

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

I aint gon stunt, when they played that Jewelz on the radio I was hype that nikka was goin like shyt.
