If you were iffy on either Wale or Lady Gaga, this might make you believe at least a little bit (sure we're late to the game, but enthusiasm counters).
first of all, saying nigger to indicate a white dude is way more prevalent than most whities are privy to, so I like when that happens. Second of all, Chris Mullin really rocked a hard core buzz cut for most of his professional career. This was after he sported a shag 'do during his alchohic St. Johns years. He's a Brooklyn mofo to boot. Lots to love.
3rd of all, the Larry Bird comparisons in the above piece are egregious. This was still back in the day when white players (who were inevitably slower and good shooters) inevitably got compared to other white players, inevitably Larry Bird. Come mid to late '90s, (around the time Keith Van Horn (who dunked frequently but was still inevitably white and slower) compared himself to Derrick McKey (black)) there began a movement to end the racial profiling of tall white forwards with perimeter skills. Who cares, right? Somebody, I say.

buzz like mullin: yeah, and he always was drunk, so buzz works on that level too. I mean, not in the song, but it could still be cleva
