During an interview with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and Deion Sanders a few weeks back, Deion mentioned that Snoop Dogg said hip hop needs an authority figure like Mr. Goodell to oversee things.

While I typically disagree with Roger, I do respect his ability to frighten young black men more than anyone on earth not wearing a badge. So I present to you, a list of things that would happen under Roger’s reign in rap music.

If Roger Goodell were the commissioner of hip hop….

DMX would be banned - So lets get this straight….. he hasn’t released a good album OR a good movie since Aaliyah passed away, he doesn’t know who Barack Obama is, and he’s been arrested five times this year alone??? Roger wouldn’t stand for such foolishness.. BANNED.

If Roger Goodell were the commissioner of hip hop….

You wouldn’t be allowed to diss legends unless you have more than 2 hit albums - Am I the only hip hop fan who gets sick of headlines like “Jim Jones disses Jay-Z”, or “Yung Berg hates 2pac” or something else equally foolish? Who decided it was okay to give these clowns attention? Hip hop culture doesn’t respect it’s elders and Roger simply wouldn’t go for it.

If Roger Goodell were the commissioner of hip hop….

“Video Vixens” can’t release any more tell-all books - It was okay at first, but how many more books are we going to have to endure in this genre? Okay, you gave Lil Wayne head at Summer Jam, now do you have anything else noteworthy to say?… I didn’t think so. Uncle Roger don’t love dem hoez.

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.
