In what might be the appropriate guest for a podcast named Shots Fired, we had Gangsta Gibbs on this week’s episode. Since Freddie is on the short-list of both best rappers breathing and most knowledgeable sports fans, it seemed only natural that he would help us break down the history of athletes trying to rap. It is a long and storied tradition of failure. Even the greatest athlete rapper of all-time once gave us this. Then again, he also gave us “No Hook.” The episode description is below the jump, along with the MP3.
