HipHopHoops

Shoutout to our teammates mates at Run Your Race ... But Kawhi Leonard does not deserve a statue in Toronto miss me with that. Vince Carter, Kyle Lowry are in line before he gets one up in the city. Nelly claims the late 90s and early 2000s was the hardest era of all time in Hip Hop we break that down. Iggy is rolling with HOV every time when it comes to the Dame Dash nonsense. Shoutout to Oakwood for another championship and dominating the high school basketball scene. Woods got Bathurst Heights as the most dominant program of all time 💀.

LeBron James is 1 of 1, we have heard it before but he is HIM. When it's all said and done hate him or love him, you gotta respect him. KG said he is definitely on the juice! Who would you rather take in the clutch, Steph Curry or Kyrie Irving?

Vince Carter, a true legend not only for global hoopers but for what he did for hoops in Canada. Dubbed "Air Canada", "Vinsanity", and "Half Man Half Amazing". Vince is among the finalists going into the Hoop Hall of Fame, and it's well deserved. The Toronto Raptors need to retire his jersey asap, and if we ever entertain this statue talk, Vince goes first! 

Don’t sleep on the six, the Raptors will be back in no time, give us two years max. No disrespect but we don’t need LeBron James. There is no “D” in LeBron. Scottie Barnes is an All-Star and the youngest player to ever get the keys in Toronto, do the Raptors have to keep him happy as our franchise player?

The All-Star game is gone, time to make it Team USA VS The World if you want it to be competitive. Did LeBron really ruin the dunk contest by never participating, we are seeing a lack of superstars participate. 

Make Finch great again, lets end the gun violence and bring these artists together to really end the violence. Also, shoutout KD for getting behind the mic in the studio but who is the greatest rap hooper? Jerami Grant stop it, you tripping on the drip.

Things always get exciting around the trade deadline and you already know the Raptors didn’t stop making moves. How do we feel about the additions of Ochai Agbaji and Kelly Olynyk and is this team going to be better than the Knicks soon? Who do you think was the winner of the trade deadline and what were some of the best trades? Let’s also talk some High School hoops and shout out to the Senior Women’s national team for qualifying for the Olympics. Is it fair to say that Canada is catching up to the US when it comes to international ball? You already know we have to talk a little Hip Hop too so what happened at the Grammys?

I know you missed us so welcome back the Hip Hop Hoops! Let’s get right into it talking about the Raptors and some of the big moves they made over the past couple weeks. We like what we are seeing from RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley so is it safe to say the Raptors won this trade? How do we feel about some of the Raptors draft picks and this guy Gradey Dick? Also, what’s going on in the league because we have players out here dropping 50 like it’s easy. Moving on to Hip Hop, this Megan Thee Stallion vs Nicki Minaj beef continues to heat up. What does this mean for the music industry and is Megan out here lying?
