I sometimes sit back and laugh at how basketball used hip hop in all it's videos, arenas, highlight shows, etc...all through the 90s until about the early 00's. Then when they started making cats wear suits, they distanced themselves from it entirely all to please a segment of the population who believe NBA players are thugs but the statistics show otherwise.
The turning point was the Malice at the Palace. Stern tried to scrub all evidence of hiphop influence after that brawl. :mjlol: at that salsa halftime music they had in the first hiphop ban years

LOL I didn't even know Sting had a succesful solo career, I thought he became irrelevant after he left that group, turns out he was actually more succesful after he became a solo singer.
