Carlos Boozer Is A Rapper Now? Carlos Boozer Is A Rapper Now

Sometimes, videos are right in your wheelhouse: They feature a person who doesn't really know how to rap (like kids, or athletes), and all you have to do is hop in and make a joke about how they can't rap, or how at best, they're going to be unfavorably compared to Shaq, and get the hell out of the way. But then said video has a real rapper doing some of the worst shilling you've seen, somehow working in a Luol Deng reference that makes less sense the more you think about it (how can Twista make one from the lip? Which is what I think he said?). And then you start wondering if anyone is going to make it to the end of the meta post you start writing about the video, and aren't instead just going to look right past this. Then you wonder if this is the real death of Twista, not when Kanye suddenly stopped needing him. Dude is on a track from the Frankenstein raps of the dude who cost the Bulls a shot at the finals (seriously, dude was hardly there. Udonis Haslem was better than him.). Yep, Twista is done.
