Nancy Kerrigan was clubbed in the leg by an unknown assailant. Lorena Bobbitt was found not guilty by reason of insanity of, ahem, mutilating her husband John Wayne Bobbitt. Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain was found dead from a single gunshot wound.<\/p>\n<p>And, somewhere on the <a href=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/shawn-kemps-kraken-t-shirt-explodes-eviscerates-entire-west-coast\/\">west coast<\/a>, Jason Kidd was recording his rap debut, &#8220;People Wanna Know What The Kidd Did.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The song was on an album called &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/B-Ball%27s_Best_Kept_Secret\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">B-Ball&#8217;s Best Kept Secret<\/a>&#8221; which featured NBA players of the day trying their hand at rap. J Kidd rapped alongside rapper &#8220;Money B&#8221; of the infamous rap\/funk group Digital Underground.\u00a0 Considering the song is 25+ years old, it&#8217;s as good as any Lil&#8217; Wayne song to date.<\/p>\n<p>Kidd was a tender 21 years young when the song was released, and focuses on the pressures and stresses of a successful NBA stud as he returns to the streets of his old neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>I used to love this album and listened to it incessantly, as I\u00a0cruised around town with a tape deck in my 1980 orange Buick LeSabre.<\/p>\n<p>That was back when if you were lucky enough to have a portable CD player, you had to buy the adapter for the tape deck, that looked like a cassette tape with a long cord than ran to the CD player.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, the ladies were impressed.<\/p>\n<p>Kidd was fresh off of his Rookie of the Year season (An award he shared with recently Grant Hill; are they not the Magic\/Bird tandem of this era, careers inextricably linked?) where he dazzled NBA fans with an all-around game that rarely relied on scoring.<\/p>\n<p>It seemed like every other game Kidd was recording a triple double, a category he would finish third in NBA\u00a0history in, and dominating games without putting up double figures in points; he was literally the first player I ever saw who was regarded as &#8220;cool&#8221; who wasn&#8217;t putting up 20+ ppg.<\/p>\n<p>With lines like, &#8220;More steals than Ricky Hen from the Pac-10&#8221;, a reference to baseball great Ricky Henderson,\u00a0 and, &#8220;St. Joe&#8217;s, the whole street had me diff&#8217;rent\/But I was good on the dribble, like a in-fant,&#8221; Kidd&#8217;s flow is indisputable.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to J Kidd here:<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8HTNWYpemxI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I invite you to listen to the song, and <em>love it<\/em>.

I\u2019ve done stand-up comedy, I'm a dad, former youth soccer club President, and former team statistician for the oldest indoor football team in the world, the Omaha Beef. I\u2019ve married six couples in 10 years and my Marriage to Still Married ratio is 6:6. I always say, it isn\u2019t so much about the \u201clove,\u201d as it is the tasteless jokes that became vows. \u00a0 I started the I-80 Sports Blog to have all the work I've published located in one place and to write about things I want to write about. I don't take anything too seriously and it is a real time saver.","url":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/author\/paul\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1241"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1241\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9637"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
