Spurs sign DerMarr Johnson

Why's that interesting?

Well, after Wikipedia'ing DerMarr Johnson's name in a bid to find out when he suffered his car crash, I noticed that apparently DerMarr Johnson does a bit of rapping under a soubriquet.

This was news to me, so I took this nugget of information to Youtube to see if it was true.

And it bloody was.

Here is DerMarr, aka "Boss Slim", in the music video for a seminal smash named "Zoom", a concept with which the camera man is struggling.



If you're overwhelmed by the stagnant unoriginality of the beat, the severly played-out instrumentation of the genre, the truly inspirational soul-searching depth of the lyrics, or the rank amateurishness of the music video shot on someone's phone, you've missed the point. The point is that the Spurs just got more bling. This is a rare and special thing, given that the team's current quota of bling is more or less solely in the form of Tony Parker. And if you have ever seen Tony Parker rap, then you'll know why this was a bad thing.

There'll be a follow up post on this as and when I can be arsed.
