Are You a Prisoner Of The Moment? (Breaking down Kdot's Verse)

...No offense to Mr. Kendrick Lamar because this uproar is well needed. 

...No offense to Mr. Kendrick Lamar But this uproar will last only about a week.

I hope it lasts forever but it won't!

Very Soon these idiots will be back to listening to bullshit rap; how many watches I got, how many cars I drive, I woke up in a new Bugatti, blah, blah, blah!

Bullshit rap will prevail and ultimately win because of YOU!... The fans!

It shouldn't take a Kdot verse to open your minds to the ill state of hip hop. This has been going on for what seems like forever and many rappers have been preaching this rhetoric! You all have failed to listen and I believe if Kendrick didn't stir the pot by calling out a select few of rappers names... This message would have been ignored too!

You'll only "took a bite of the fruit" because you'll smelled beef in the air. 

Well!... 

News flash! 

This was not a dis verse people. 

I repeat!!! 

THIS IS NOT A DIS VERSE!

The man is just doing what many have done and what most rappers do which is: 

1. Call for an end to Bullshit, nonsense rap where lyrics override your "swag" 

and 

2. Proclaim his seat on the throne of rap. 

(Thus the Makaveli reference and King of NY bars. He is not dissing NY people but merely saying he thrives to be the best rapper in the world and not just the king of one coast.)

Furthermore, there's a reason why the radio is dominated by non-sensical rap. The reason is you all fall victim to the trickery. Most of you are programmed to like, request, promote and eventually go out and buy what "they" say is "hot".

These are not the ramblings of a "Madd Rapper" but the words of realism by a Angry Fan. 

The God honest truth is if these rappers change their tone and rap what "matters" instead of the Money, Cars, Hoes they would GO BROKE because you'll aren't buying lyricism... You'll are buying into swag, catchy hooks and listening to them rap about the things YOU DON'T HAVE! 

Overall I thank Kdot for another dope verse and a wake-up call to all... Its too bad after a short while you all will hit the snooze button and go right back to sleep. Smfh...

Soooo, do us all a favor and Stop being a Prisoner of The Moment:

PREDICTION: A "MANNING BOWL" IN SEPTEMBER AND FEBRUARY!

PREDICTION: FINALLY!!! A REASON FOR DETROIT TO SMILE...

KEEP SLEEPING...

As NBA training camps are readying and as the free agent class dwindles down ...
The talk of the off season continues to center around:
-Dwight Howard's departure to Houston, as he joins James Harden and company generating title aspirations.
-The Spurs keeping their Western Conference Champion team together for another run at the title while signing FA Marco Belinelli etc.
-The Warriors after an impressive run signing Andre Iguodala.
-The return of a healthy Derrick Rose in Chicago and Westbrook in OKC.
-The Pacers resigning David West, Signing Chris Copeland, trading for Luis Scola, and the impending healthy return of former all star Danny Granger.
-The Nets trading for all star's Pierce and Garnett, signing FA Andre Kirilenko and new coach Jason Kidd.
-The Heat chasing Injury Prone Greg Oden in search of legitimate size up front.
Etc, Etc, Etc!!!

But who's flying under the radar?
Who's being 'slept on'?

My KnicksTape! That' who!

And this fact is A-OK with me!
I would hope they "fly under the radar" all season and eventually shock the world like my New York Football Giants did a la 2007.

I do believe that this has a great chance of happening for many reasons.

Firstly, the Knicks are going to be better than last years team which finished 2nd in the Eastern Conference with 54 wins. (After most analysts predicted we would finish 6th or so). This year we are predicted by most to finish as a 5th seed at best.

How are we better?

Well, let's take a look at the departures of: Chris Copeland, Steve Novak. Jason Kidd and Marcus Camby... And compare those players to the New Arrivals of: Metta World Peace and Andrea Bargnani.

Metta brings an attitude of Grit and Toughness that we lacked last year as Bargnani brings the outside shooting we lost by losing Copeland but in a Veteran's body (that's hoping he stays healthy). The loss of Kidd's presence on court will be replaced by Pablo Prigioni's bigger role on court and Metta's presence in the locker room.

The point is, this years version of the #KnicksTape is extremely better 'on paper' with...
-Tyson Chandler fully healthy (he was not so in the playoffs by any means).
-Amare Stoudemire hopefully staying healthy. When he was, he gave us 13ppg and 5rebs a game in about 20mins of action of the bench.
-JR Smith re-signed to a steal of a contract(approx 6 mil a year for the 6th man of the year) also played on a bum knee all year and coming off of a well needed knee surgery.
-Bargnani spreading the floor while giving Melo more room to operate
-Felton having a year under his belt should give him more insight on how to successfully run this team on a consistent bases.
-Shumpert, after an amazing season coming off of ACL surgery should and will only get better.
-A full season of the energetic Kenyon Martin (also re-signed) brings more toughness on defense and on the glass.

The Knicks finally have balance on both ends of the court.
Defensive minded players at every position:
Guards Prigoni and Shumpert, Forwards Metta and Kenyon and Center Tyson Chandler.
Offensive Fire Power in:
 Guards Felton and Smith, as well as in the Frontcourt with Melo (Last years scoring champ), Bargnani and Stat.

But don't take my word for it... Keep sleeping on these Knickas!
