Stop rapping. 

There are so, so many people who need to hear this message. This time we're hoping it reaches the ears of Louisvile's Damion Lee. The 6-6,200-pounder is a good basketball player, averaging 16.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and two assists per game. He also fancies himself himself as an emcee. He recently released a track called "For the Ville", an anthem dedicated to the Cards' and its 'meh' at best.

Rapping over a beat, which features an interpolation of the Luniz's classic single, "I Got 5 On It", a song about going half on a sack of weed, Lee gives you bars, if you want to call them that, such as: 

"My bars out this world/I ain't talking spaceship/Thankful that basketball could take me to this places." 

"I see x-rays through my vision. No, they never blocked man/We use a Spalding ball/I'm buiding up my stock man." 

"Cold like ice. Bars cold as hell/ Wait, rolling in the deep/I ain't talking Adele." 

And whoever sang that poorly-put together autotune-assisted hook is trash and a half too.

Lee is projected as an early-mid second-roudn pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. Hopefully, he'll find something else to do with his free time. 

Damian Lillard is the exception to the rule. Most athletes, despite what they think , can't and shouldn't rap. Ask Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson
