Not to go all football news and commentary on you (like the guys over at EDSBS) but because we reside in Tulsa, OK this bit of music news seemed too important to pass up. University of Oklahoma (boo!!!) incoming freshman football standout Josh Jarboe decided to show off his MC skills in what appears to be the OU student union, which was subsequently uploaded to YouTube (imagine that). Because of his violent and profanity laced "flow" he was kicked off the football team and had his scholarship offer withdrawn by the university.
The rap isn't anything worse than what we hear everyday in hip hop, but its violent nature in combination with Josh Jarboe's arrest for handgun possession in the spring forced the university's hand. We disagree with this action, because we really were looking forward to more great rhymes by the greatest MC to never play a football game in Norman.
The rap is absolutely awful. It's terrible. I would be more embarrased it being in public more so than getting kicked off the football team. With all the misogynism and violence, the worst part is his desire to provide his own echoes and backing vocals. Ch-check it!
