Welcome To Nesby World!

I’m not sure if it was the joy of seeing that glorious Hawks music video, Rashad McCants’ Ashbery-like poetry, or both, but I just can’t sit on this any longer…

You remember Tyrone Nesby? Um, yeah… Welcome To His World. (Conveniently available in English and Lithuanian!)

Yes, following in the tangled mic cords of other NBA-slash-rapper greats, comes T-Nes — complete with his Waking Life-like website, topless photos, and of course, sick beats … um, “yo”.

Although most of the tracks are short streamed clips, my personal favorite song has to be Victory Song. It sounds oddly similar — read: exactly the fucking same — to R. Kelly’s The World’s Greatest, but it’s got an inspirational basketball message. I think. Here, decide for yourself:

Pass me the ball, my insides are bleeding
I want to win this game, and man I mean it
So much stress, and so much fear
We made it to the semi-final, man we near

So we form a huddle, and talk to each other
We got to stay together like sisters and brothers
It was hard, but we never gave up
Even though we lost some, man we still stayed tough (C’mon)

Look in our eyes, man we ready
Palms are sweaty, heart is steady
Over two thousand fans, in the President
Enough support, this is what we needed to win

[Chorus]

You got to believe in yourself
When you feel there’s no one else
Yeah, we made it
We are champions
Even though it was so hard
Stand together, don’t give up
Yeah, we made it
We are champions

Ouch. Only two thousand fans, Tyrone? Oh well, I guess that’s still better then the few hundred you pulled in playing for the Clips, right?

Welcome To Nesby World
… Expose On NBA Rappers [Still Listen To Gangsta Music]

(Note: Considering Nesby had a brief stint in Washington — 108 games according to Basketball-Reference.com — it’s very likely that The WizzNutzz Gods have already posted this gem. If so, me-battle, me-battle…)

(Update: Apparently T-Nes’ Serious Business album ain’t that bad — 4 out of 5 Lithuanian stars!)

    The World’s Greatest is the best song of all time…i will not argue this. I used to play it on my friend’s computer everytime I scored on him in Madden back in the dorm days…then i would dance the dance of the victor.

    the wizznutzz have been on vacay for the summer

    Nice! Can’t wait ’til his teammates ask him, ‘yo man, which of us you calling sisters?’
    Love those internal rhymes, so complex! Nas, take note.

    […] Remember when I unveiled the Lithuanian rap star that is Tyrone “T-Nes” Nesby? And remember when I wondered if the all-mighty, WizzNutzz KidZ had already unearthed such a gem? […]

    […] 4. WizzNutzz’s review of T-Nes’s — remember him? — Serious Business CD: “The record has lots of good songs and is about lots of big themes, themes like overcomin haters, finding a place in the world, staying strong, jewels, women, loyalty, respect, fate, GATs. Not GAT the gun, GAT the firm salty rabbits-milk yogurt thats popular in the Lith housing commissions.” [WizzNutzz] […]
