Video just dropped on YouTube. I know this may not be some of your all's cup of tea but it may be for some.
Lamont Butler's song from BBM

If that is what he likes to do awesome and he did a whole song without cursing and talking about drugs, prostitutes, and the only money reference was NIL. Kinda impressive, and maybe it shows future recruits who are interested in rapping they can show their stuff off here.
The song was OK I guess if you are into that kind of thing, but the lip syncing just made me cringe. Obviously, that's not his day job so he shouldn't be polished, but I can't imagine he's too proud of the actual performance.
Song is very meh vs other songs but pretty great as something done by a college athlete.
Also pretty cool to see they let him work with ky engineerin who is a massive name in hiphop and a huge uk fan.

I think it's cool as hell and will get future recruits fired up. Kid is living his dream.
a) impressed he had the guts to walk out to something he'd written and performed
b) less impressed that he didn't seem to know the words

Because if anything signifies the decline of society, it's college students exercising musical creativity.
I thought the opposite. He's someone we brought in a few months ago who had the talents and courage to write and create a song about being a Wildcat with his teammates and had the stones to then attempt to make it a performance for us fans as his way of showing he bleeds blue. Not my type of song in anyway but that, to me, exemplifies the type of guy Pope recruits. Someone who gets it in their own way. I was very moved when I realized it was a song he made mentioning his teammates and not just some other song by a random rapper.
Yeah - I agree that the song was good (I said OK, because I'm not a fan of rap) because it's about the team and his teammates. It was the actual lip syncing routine that was awkward.

It's not gonna replace "Buckle up put your phone down" on my list.
Takes guts to do that live in front of 22,000. Meanwhile, some of you taking shots from the anonymous quiet corner of your house.
I'll take Butler for the win between the two options.

Sheesh. Tough critics here. I'm not a fan of rap music but I thought it was pretty awesome that he wrote a song and performed it! So he messed up on the lip syncing.... OMG. He's walking out into the biggest crowd he's ever seen in his life while doing it. I say we cut the kid some slack.
Every genre of music sucks if not done properly.
Some rap is good. Depends entirely on the song.
Yeah, I thought he did a great job. I"m not a rap guy but I liked it!
Some pretty clever lyrics. Wonder if he wrote it entirely himself.
Yes, it's pretty damn good. I doubt any of the people knocking it could write anything nearly as clever and intelligent.
Usually the case. My favorite are the dudes that act like they could be Eminem because it’s so easy but they decided to forgo the millions and millions of dollars because they don’t like rap.
I guess but I take into account he's not used to "performing" on that level and trying not to eat shit walking down those steps. He's a basketball player trying to show love for the fans so I didn't even think about awkward because I was so moved by the effort.
Do your thing, Butler. Have fun, and live it all up!
I know right, I challenge anyone on here to write a rap song about UK and then preform it even over the internet.
Just for giggles I asked ChatGPT to help me write rap lyrics about UK men's basketball 2024 going to the final four. This is what it spit out (yes, it still thinks Cal is the coach)
(Verse 1)
Yeah, we rockin’ in blue, the Wildcats in the zone,
From Rupp Arena, you know we holdin’ our own.
2024, it’s our year to shine bright,
Chasin’ that title, man, we ready to fight.
Dribble up the court, hear the crowd roar,
Each game a battle, we hungry for more.
With every assist, every three we drop,
We the kings of the court, never gonna stop.
(Chorus)
Kentucky pride, we rise, never fall,
On the road to the Final Four, we givin’ our all.
Wildcats in the house, feel that energy,
Championship dreams, it’s our legacy.
(Verse 2)
Coach Cal got the squad, man, we never outta luck,
With heart and hustle, we don’t give a what.
Freshmen to veterans, the chemistry’s tight,
Every game a highlight, we takin’ flight.
Defense like a wall, offense on fire,
Every bucket counts, elevatin’ higher.
When the buzzer sounds, and the stakes get real,
You know the Wildcats got that killer instinct feel.
(Chorus)
Kentucky pride, we rise, never fall,
On the road to the Final Four, we givin’ our all.
Wildcats in the house, feel that energy,
Championship dreams, it’s our legacy.
(Bridge)
March Madness is here, time to show our might,
In the tournament grind, we own the spotlight.
With the fans behind us, we can’t be denied,
From Lexington to glory, let the passion ride.
(Outro)
So raise up your banners, let the whole world see,
The Wildcats are back, it’s our time to be free.
Final Four bound, yeah, we makin’ our mark,
Kentucky forever, ignitin’ the spark!
