When Hip-Hop and Swimming Collide
And now for the latest news in the “Did You Know” files:
I was watching BET — as “The Handbook” requires me to do as an African-American — Young Jeezy’s verse in Akon’s song, “I’m So Paid”, includes a Phelpsy reference. You know Mike loved that. I’m not going to lie, though. I did roll my eyes. Add in the fact Akon’s voice is equivalent to nails on a chalkboard to me and we have a wonderfully memorable moment…for me to poop on!
On a serious tip, though. It’s great to have a swimmer receive a shout-out in any mainstream song. It’s a big deal. Immortalized in pop culture. Having said that, I would have preferred a Lochtenator shout-out instead. Maybe next time.
Watch the video below. The reference about 2 minutes in.

Seriously? That’s cool…even though I cannot stand Akon.
I bet Ryan would shit bricks if he heard himself in a Lil Wayne song. I think he should sing about Ryan, even though jackass already beat him to it. LOL
