French Montana may not have sports aspirations as he’s already carved out a lane as a rap hitmaker. But while on a press run for his new album They Got Amnesia, the Coke Boy rapper declared being gifted with the physical talent to make an NBA roster is a lot easier than making it in music.
“You’re better off making it in the NBA than Hip Hop,” French told Hot 97’s Ebro In The Morning crew. “NBA, they got like what, 28 teams … 15 players on every team? And that’s in the hundreds. You talk about Hip Hop, you can’t even name 10 people that’s hot every couple months. The odds … anybody can do it if it was easy.”
French then offered advice for those even thinking about the move.
“So you talkin’ about trying to make it?” he said. “Your hustle gotta be relentless. Can’t take no for an answer, you gotta be up when everybody sleep.”
Numerous NBA hoopers such as Miles Bridges and Damian Lillard have pulled off both feats, rapping and releasing albums while playing in the league. Still, French Montana may have a point. Highlight tapes for young basketball prodigies sprout every day. Getting a hit isn’t exactly making it, but it’s a start.
French Montana Says He's 1st Rapper With 3D Billboard As He Plugs 'They Got Amnesia' Album
Despite his stance, French Montana can argue he does have something NBA ballers don’t. After the release of They Got Amneisa, he ventured out to New York City’s Times Square, where he spotted his 3D billboard promoting the album. In his eyes, he’s the first rapper to ever have a 3D billboard in New York’s most famous advertising block.
It’s easier being Diddy’s bottom butt slave than to be considered an actual credible rapper. No wonder he kept you on Bad Boy Records. You’re a bag alright…a teabag boy.
Bench Montana sucks so much ass as a cRapper that without features nobody would know who he is? I’m from BX and trust me a lot of people can’t stand him and don’t respect that transplant.
Most certainly it’s very much a subjective experience; depending on the level of skills a person has in a. basketball or b. rap.
It’s bad when your music is used for torture during interrogation.
this dude is the defintion of wack af. only thing keepin him alive in the rap game is the streaming bots looool
Yep puffy spending money on entire factories full of chinese people who stream Bad Boy music
*Machine Gun Fart*
what can i say he is right. and so that should change. people are missing out people are being put to one side. what the hell can you do about it. good luck with that.
Shouldn’t you be gobbling dick somewhere…. GTFOH
If making it in Rap was harder than the NBA your wack ass wouldn’t be in it. And neither would Lil Nas X.
