What’s Up Doc, Can We Rock?

If you’ve read the About Us page, you’ll notice we’ve completely deviated from the original format of the blog. Consider us the internet’s version of Boog Sciambi. We haven’t given out a single Suey Point (and believe us, there were some worthy individuals) and we’ve yet to match our topic to anything that’s gone in in that particular day’s show. Have no fear. That trend will continue tonight. Rappers and athletes, after the jump.

We were going through some blogs online at work today and we came across something we found both interesting, and right up the Le Batard Show’s proverbial alley. The fine folks over at Apartment718 have put together a list of the most obscure athletes ever mentioned in the hip hop world. Our favorite one just happens to name drop former hometown boy, Juan Pierre.

I’m such a playa’ they call me Juan Pierre
Been ballin’ since my younger years like ya boy Cabrera

How much ass did Juan Pierre pull off this one lyric? Nondescript outfielders everywhere are placing calls to their local rap artists, begging for a name drop. Pitbull, I’ve got Reggie Abercrombie on line 1. He says it’s urgent.

Sadly, no artist has had the balls to try and rhyme Ayanbadejo. Make it happen, Kanye.
