Lexington could have a major spotlight on it with three of the biggest rappers potentially coming to town.
Kentucky Is Working To Get Drake, Lil Wayne Plus Kanye (Ye) To Lexington In The Future.

- Start date
Can we replace Kanye with the cloggers? Asking for a friend.
Here's the Tweet being referenced:
Aka Cal is desperate. That all sounds great but he still needs to show that he’s willing to change his coaching ways to be successful again.
Oh yea, that's my groove. Kanye would pass out before the two minute mark. I almost did just watching.
It means Cal is willing to play hardball within the context of the rules.

Very relevant. Name a rapper with a more successful 25 year run. You can’t, don’t try.
Top 10 Best-Selling Rappers / Hip Hop Artists of All Time:
- EMINEM. 227 million units sold.
- DRAKE. 152 million units sold.
- KANYE WEST. 140 million units sold.
- JAY-Z. 125 million units sold.
- LIL WAYNE. 110 million units sold.
- NICKI MINAJ. 106 million units sold.
- FLO RIDA. 102 million units sold.
- TUPAC SHAKUR. 75 million units sold.
Matt Jones and others talk about “cool school”, this type of stuff would be big for that. Selfishly as a 30 year old fan of that type of music, you couldn’t name a bigger 3 for me personally.
I hate rap and know nothing about it. Has Lil Wayne been rapping successfully for 25yrs? When did his first album drop? Was it 2000?
Years of successful rapping being almost equal. Eminem seems to have had more success. Google says so anyhow.

Seems to me if you’re going to create the thread about it that’s your job.

I’m all for it, it will help with recruiting immensely if dudes think that they could meet Drake, Wayne, Kanye and they would do things like this in exhibitions and come see them play. That’s why we’re we’re hot from 2009-2015. Let’s get it .
Yeah his name has weight in the rap game. You see rappers now a days, he’s like Da Vinci compared to a finger painter.
In no world should Niki Minaj have more sales than Tupac. Dead or not PAC should be right behind Eminem in sales.

Yeah the block is hot came out in 99 I believe.
Seems like smoke and mirrors. At the end of the day it’s about winning some title now. This is some sort of a gimmick to bring excitement but cal needs to realize that bbn won’t be excited until we have won another one. There’s a lot of losing on the table that needs to be atoned for.
Eminem is the best rapper of all time. Don't @ me
I remember a Monk episode where he was trying to communicate with SnoopDog and his crew. He was mashing rap words together and rotating his hand for some type of fist bump. I can see Cal doing the same thing with these guys, 
. I think it is a great idea, a lot of recruits for years to come will have a positive vibe in their head for UK, which is a good thing.

I'd rather listen to Maynard James Keenan, Danny Carey, Adam Jones, and Justin Chancellor.
I've never seen much artistry in Rap, musically or otherwise. Guess I'm just old. However, the ho's do love it.....
Oh...and this mumble rap. I mean really how much talent does that require?

Only 2 of those have had a 25 year career. And “units sold” does not account for mixtapes. Lil Wayne chose to give away at least 50% of his music for free, probably more than. And it’s not like they were throw-aways, everyone knows he had the most legendary mixtape run of all time. Also doesn’t include his sales as a featured artist, if it did, he would be hundreds of millions ahead of Eminem and Jay-Z. A Lil Wayne feature from ‘07-‘12 all but guaranteed a Top 10 hit for an artist.
As I just responded to another poster, when you include mixtapes and features (which you have to), Lil Wayne absolutely blows Eminem out the water in every single metric.
Eminem is the most commercially successful sure, but Wayne did numbers commercially and had the streets on lock. Literally gave gigabytes on gigabytes of free music away. Googling who sold more in an entertainment sector and basing success on that is ridiculous. I guess you believe Michael Bay is a more successful director than Martin Scorcese huh?
Not to mention, Lil Wayne signed and started the careers of 2 rappers on that list, Drake and Nicki Minaj. Success is more than money, what about influence? Eminem brought 50 Cent to the mainstream, but that’s it. Wayne’s influence in the music industry and in hip hop culture far outpaces Eminem.

Just ridiculous...
Well then you can take my word for it lol
Weezy’s mixtape game is unmatched.
Gucci Mane is the only other who can even be mentioned in the same sentence. Respect to Chamillionaire the “Mixtape Messiah” though.
This is a broad brush, but I'll take late 80s to early 2000 rappers and you all can have the field.
I absolutely hate rap, but then again I'm almost 60....
I realize of course that recruits like this stuff, so cool, whatever it takes I suppose.
