Some things just have “disaster” written all over them from the start…..and this is one of those things.

Darryl McDaniels (widely known as DMC) from the legendary hip hop trio Run DMC told The Boston Daily that David Ortiz will be collaborating on a project with him.

“Me and Papi is doing a record. It’s gonna be crazy.

The Harlem native told the hosts that he’s spent a lot of time with the Sox slugger, and that Ortiz’s favorite Run-D.M.C. song is “It’s Tricky.”

I have three pet peeves with this entire situation.

1. First and foremost, Athlete-Musicians are almost always horrible.

2. If I wanted to listen to a rapper who could barely speak english, I would would listen to Mike Jones, not David Ortiz.

3. I have a huge problem with grown men calling another grown man “Big Papi”…thats NOT hip hop. In fact, it qualifies for the infamous “No Homo” disclaimer. The only rapper who has successfully gotten away with calling a man “daddy” is Lil Wayne.
