Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose became the youngest MVP in NBA history and with that newfound fame came many references in today’s most popular rap songs. His name and number are fairly easy to incorporate into verses — not to mention his crippling injuries serve as fantastic rap industry metaphors.
From clever metaphors, to witty punchlines, to just plain name dropping using the Bulls stars name, here’s a list of the Top 15 Derrick Rose references in rap music.

Where is Lil Reese with “US”? “Like D. Rose I’m on point for my team”
kids these days – darling…
And as for the low, I’m killing the competition
I often get’em and forget’em, can’t even help it
I used to get that feeling, as of late I haven’t felt it
I’m something like myself, so these hoes say I’m selfish
On that rookie bull like when Derrick Rose played the Celtics
I find it odd that Im the only one that did an entire Derrick Rose anthem…and still didnt make the list here….and Meek Mill is on this bitch twice!
smh
I have more work to do. http://www.fakeshoredrive.com/2013/03/griffen-psa-the-return.html/
