We confess, we have an obsession with athletes who try to take on the rap game – just for the sheer enjoyment of watching cats humiliating themselves. Last year I put together a list of some of the best and worst songs recorded by athletes and one of those songs was from Chris Webber (known as C-Webb in the rap universe) called "Gangsta, Gangsta" featuring Kurupt. Well, lo and behold the former Fab Fiver filmed a video for the song with Kurupt and a cameo from Redman and maybe Jimmy King and Ray Jackson there dancing? I can't tell but wow, they're good. Take a look:
Look for more athlete videos after the jump!
It all started with Shaq. He's the godfather of athlete-rappers.
Ron Artest, a huge hip-hop fan, tried to make a splash.
Tony Parker is probably the best French rapper you ever heard, next to MC Solaar.
If you want to diss Roy Jones Jr.'s rap skills, be my guest.
Back when Kobe Bryant was a happy baller.

Ummm let's not get it twisted....This c-webb joint is the bomb. If you know hip hop, kurupt is a beast. He would not roll with anybody. Also, I hate shaq but he is a real m.c. He was never accepted because he was the best big man in basketball at the time. The public used to never let you have two careers regardless of how talented you are or were. The only reason will smith is accepted now as a real actor is because he was let go as a m.c. Have you ever heard shaq's "Im outstanding". Did you hear him go toe to toe with biggie in "you can't stop the rain"? I have another one for you....Brian austin greene...He was a monster white m.c. but people was like "the white boy from 90210? oh hell nawwww". lol

"We come together to live, teach and preach
love, unity and equality to all believers in Christ Jesus..."
Our Mission and Purpose
1. Our desire is to do and teach just what the word of God says from the bible, without imposing our own presuppositions and preconceptions into His word.
2. We are experiencing the bible in our everyday lives, not just knowing the word. The bible, the word of God, the scriptures, we highly value it.
3. We believe that the bible is the very written word of God, and that it is absolutely reliable for all matters pertaining to life.
4. Rather than just joining a ministry and going through the motions. The desire of our hearts more than anything else, is to grow to look like Jesus, to get involved at Apostle James R Winfree Ministries. To get involved in growth, change, and relationships with other believers here in the USA and worldwide.
5. We here at Apostle James R Winfree Ministries place our priority upon openness and flexibility, believing that such climate is conducive to personal relational and spiritual growth. We are loosely structured to allow room for the Holy Spirit change and His freshness and God's innovations.
6. We come together to live, teach and preach love, unity and equality to all believers in Christ Jesus, to celebrate God's goodness and faithfulness. We are here for the encouragement, teaching and preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ building up the body of Christ.
7. We are here to support and have loving saints in our communities that live, believe and teach the gospel of Jesus Christ and teach unity and equality for all believers in the faith.
8. We know and believe that every believer in Christ Jesus has something of value to offer to this ministry and to each other this is where we are maturing in all areas of our lives spiritually as we give of ourselves and support to help others in the faith.
9. We are first of all believers in Christ Jesus striving to make Jesus central in our lives. He is Lord of His Church, and it is around Him that our mission and purpose revolve.
10. The Holy Spirit has a rich diversity of believers from all ethnic, educational and socio-economic backgrounds. He has also brought about unity and equality that communicates warmth and acceptance to all who join in His fellowship.
11. We believe that in Jesus Christ’s church which is His true Body, there should be no believer in need.
12. Our Lord said in Luke 6:38 if you give you will receive. Your gift and support will return to you in full measure, pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, because men will give what you need, for what measure you give-whether large or small will be used to measure what is given back to you, be lead by Jesus Christ Holy Spirit in your giving and support.
Apostle James R Winfree Ministries And Team
Thank You For Your Loving Prayers
And Contributions To This Ministry.

Yooo, CWEBB joint was FIIIIIRE!!!!! The track was SIIIICK and his flow was sizzlin'. If he was a MC that never was famous for playin ball and had this single out, it would have been waaaay more successful. People can't accept "ballers" for stepping out of their skin into another being something they're not used to seeing them. Especially when a previous athelete or atheletes were wack!! But, this was a BANGA!!
