Jadakiss and Syracuse

[shandeezy7]

Remember back during the NCAA tournament when Paul Harris tweeted this picture of himself and Jada wearing a Cuse hat at the Big East tournament?

Some people were wondering if Jada was actually an SU fan. Turns out he is. He says so in a recent interview with SLAM Magazine:

SLAM: I saw you at the Big East Tournament reppin’ for Syracuse, how long have you been a fan of them?

Jadakiss: All my life. When I was a little kid I wanted to attend Syracuse. I played ball as a youth, played in high school, but once I realized I wasn’t going to make it I followed rap. That was always my NCAA basketball school of choice. I try to stay close with the players, they’re living out my dream being able to go there and play for Coach Boeheim.

SLAM: With Shabazz and Kyle going to UCLA, you plan on switching your allegiance at all?
Kiss: Nah, I’m not gonna switch, I’m Syracuse for life! They might just be two of my little homies that go to UCLA, I’ll stay in touch with them and rep for them. I’ll go to a few games and rock a UCLA snapback and hoodie, but man, I’m Syracuse until I die, baby!

I’m very close with Doron Lamb from Kentucky, but I’m still Syracuse even though Kentucky won it. I would have love to have seen Kentucky vs Syracuse in the Championship game but I’m happy for Ant Davis. He was a kid I met at the JBC last year as well as Teague and MKG, so it made me feel good to see them go straight from there to winning a Championship and now entering the NBA Draft. It’s amazing to see that transition right before your eyes like that.

Thats pretty cool. Hes gotta work our name into some of his lyrics.

I pretty much stopped listening to rap after high school, but I do know that Jada is one of the better rappers out there.

I am going to have to disagree with that.

 

[bnoro]

He played a concert here like 3 years ago. Killed it in Schine underground.

I am going to have to disagree with that.

Rap today is absolutely terrible, so if you start popping off 'new' rappers I will have no choice but to laugh at you. That said, I'm listening to The Cars right now.

for the love of god Doc... get him up for a couple games at the dome, give him some courtsides, and put him on the big screen.

have him perform after the game if you want, i dont really care - but show him off. he can be an asset.

 

[PauliePeppas]

I am going to have to disagree with that.

Not many rappers were bigger than jada in the tri state

 

[oldpinepoint]

I love the older Rap, 2 Pac, Biggie Smalls, Nas, Public Enemy, Beastie Boys, Ice Cube, Eazy-E, Bone Thugs, the Roots, Q-Tip, DMX, Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, Enimem... I remember i sold my 2 live crew tape for $20 bucks after it was banned. I taped Ice Cube America's most wanted to my chest as a 12 year old to buy it at the mall. Didnt want my parents to see it. Ahh good times... im done now

Check out Childish Gambino. Suprisingly hes the actor Donald Glover from the show Community. Hes actually a very talented hip hop artist. Just my random input since we started listing rappers in this thread.

One of my buddies does an internet radio show and had Jadakiss on, who told him how big an SU fan he is. Pretty neat to say the least!

GIVE him two courtsides, but he's gotta bring famous folks with him.

The Lox "Money, Power, Respect" single was one of the first rap cds I ever owned

Been a big Jadakiss fan for a while. Just went back and listened to Kiss of Death a few weeks ago. He's one of the tougher lyricists in the game. Actually got to see him live in Buffalo during my sophomore year, and he was awesome.

Kiss of Death was a great album. I saw him at SU one year back when I was in college. Charlie Murphy actually opened up for him.

Donald Glover is good at everything.

Freaks and Geeks is a great song. Heartbeat is really good too.

Freaks and Geeks is tremendous, but the 'Camp' album is great. I'm a bit biased since I was a big fan of his as an actor already (Community is one of my favorite shows), but he's really impressive as a rapper.

 

[310Pigpen]

Does he attend games at the dome?

 

[IthacaMatt]

Long time fan. His screen name is Igor.

LOL

Was Charlie balling with Prince?

I remember when the Lox played the SU Block Party up on South Campus back in 2000. Common was there, wearing a Quentin Spotwood jersey, along with Mos Def. I don't remember if Jadakiss was going crazy for SU though. That was a very, very good show, I may add...
