Despite the NBA's attempts to distance itself from Hip Hop culture, I feel that the two are a good pair. So upon its highly anticipated release I have decided to match each song on Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3 (which I must say is an amazing album) to an NBA personality or event. I know what you all are thinking. "How can you relate a rap album to the NBA"? While on the rapper's 11th LP many matters unrelated to basketball are spoken upon, there are still ways to connect each ballad inspired by one of my favorite rappers to an NBA subject.
While I feel that this album is superb, I'm an expert of basketball not music. Here are the opinions of a few of those in the musical media field.
