Carlos Boozer Finally Breaks Silence on Rap Debut

Chicago Bull and aspiring emcee, Carlos Boozer, made waves late last week with his rapping debut, which found him spitting 8 bars of fire on Twista’s Bulls dedication “Winning Streak”.  This perplexed many, as A.) no one knew Boozer rapped and B.) seriously, no one knew Boozer rapped.  The whole thing completely came out of left field, and left many shaking their heads in confroosion. Luckily, ESPN’s Jon Greenberg was able to catch up with Boozer, as well as a few of his teammates (including D. Rose) to get the lowdown on the song and his rap career.  Heck, FSD’s #BoozerBars even made the article.

Boozer, however, never lacks for confidence, on or off the court. He is very pleased with his brief foray into the hip-hop game.

“It was great,” he said. “I’ve been getting great response from it. I did my part maybe three months ago. I think Twista did his part maybe two months after that. Mario Winans came in and shut it down like a few weeks ago.”

Boozer, who signed a five-year, $80-million deal with Chicago before the season, said he isn’t looking for a second career. Critics of his recent play might be disappointed to hear that.

“No, no, no,” he said. “I’m just having fun with it. I just listen to music.”

So it appears we won’t be seeing any more Boozer bangers in the near future, and that’s a damn shame.  I was hoping we’d at least get a EP or mixtape out of him.  MC Boozer, we hardly knew ye.
