Spurs' Tony Parker To Release French Rap Album

[JumpinJack AJ]

Let me be hypocritical for a second. I just think think athlete albums are silly. I've never been able 2 take them seriously. But at the same time, i've always liked Shaq's records. He came straight out the gate tho'...saying "nobody wants 2 hear me rap for an hour" which is why he would fill his albums up with dope producers and good artists (4 the most part). I remember hearing Deon Sanders album and cracking up. I love the joint MC Hammer did 4 him "Straight To My Feet" off the Street Fighter soundtrack. But thinkin' back 2 the track (which i own...and actually listened 2 last week), i don't even remember Deon being on it. I also have some NFL and NBA albums that pair athletes with real artists and producers. There were a few talented guys on there, but 2 be honest, i don't remember any of them...just the artists they worked with (the only reason i copped the albums).

Overall tho,' i think it's important 2 give anything a listen tho'...but when it comes 2 non-English Hip-Hop and Rap, i rarely peep it since i won't understand any of it. I'll listen 2 non-English music styles since u can still appreciate an artists' voice, but u don't really get the same effect with an emcee.
