Legal No Love on the Ice
Posted by Charles Mudede on Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 2:50 PM
Rule number 688: Rappers should not fuck with ice hokey. An example from Examiner.com:
Raleigh’s Tyrone Banks... was slapped with a federal lawsuit by the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes, the very team for which he wrote and recorded a song in 2007.Banks is accused of misusing trademarks by referring to his song as the “official Carolina Hurricanes song,” and by wearing a ‘Canes jersey in material promoting the song.
“Carolina Hurricanes. That's our team, say the name," repeats the song's chorus.
Rap has its cultural limits. The rapper must know and respect them. Hiphop and ice hockey are like superman and kryptonite.

Not so: Esham's 'Hockey Daddy' for the Detroit Red Wings is an amazing post-L.A. electro rap cut. Listen:

Esham's typical fetus steez rap is replaced by Little Caesar's pizza shout outs. What?!
