LeBron James has a strong affinity for Hip Hop — there’s no doubt about it. Whether bumping Eminem’s Kamikaze album or A&R’ing 2 Chainz’s Rap Or Go To The League album, the NBA superstar always seems to be involved in the culture somehow.
On Friday (November 8), MC Eiht of Compton’s Most Wanted shared a clip of LeBron bumping Eiht’s music to his Instagram account, clearly reveling in the moment.
“GEAH AND THATS BLUESTAMP OFFICIAL,” Eiht wrote in all caps. “SHOUTOUT MY NIA @kingjames ON HIS WAY TO GET ABOVE THE RIM BANGIN THAT #WECOMESTRAPPED GEAH RIDER MUSIC IN FULL EFFECT #UBITCHASSBITCH THE DOUBLE ALBUM ‘OFFICIAL’ COMIN #TWENTYONE9.”
Eiht told HipHopDX, the songs included were “Going Out Like Geez” and “Take 2 Wit Me.”
“Going Out Like Geez” and “Take 2 Wit Me” come from Eiht’s solo album We Come Strapped, which was released in 1994. Eiht recently dropped a new project with CMW called Gangsta Bizness, their first group album in 13 years.
Meanwhile, Eiht is prepping his 14th solo album, Official, the follow-up to 2017’s Which Way Iz West.
Check out LeBron’s post above.

LeBron tries too hard. He was nine years old when that came out. He’s in LA so he’s listening to Compton music. FOH. Just give E8 a check if you fucking with him. He’s a legend…. we don’t give them enough credit… but this is out of nowhere. Why everything so goddam fake… he rehearsed that shit for hours
