Introducing Desmond Powell, Host & Creator of Hip 2 Da Games!
Переглядів 2221 годину тому
Wassup! My name is Desmond Powell and this solo UA-cam channel derives from my podcast Hip 2 Da Games, which I started in February 2021. My goal is simple: to genuinely appreciate the brilliance of basketball and Hip-Hop. Everything you'll see me do has that goal in mind and is something I don't take lightly. This channel serves as a hub for shorter-form content from me, but of course there are...
Mike Brown Wasn't the Reason Behind the Kings' Disappointing Season...
Переглядів 243День тому
The Sacramento Kings fired head coach Mike Brown yesterday in what to many fans served as a puzzling move for the organization. Desmond elaborates on why he believes Mike Brown wasn't the problem behind their underwhelming performance this season and how they have much greater issues to worry about.

Food and Liquor - Lupe Fiasco Honorable mentions: 1999- Joey Bada$$ good kid M.A.A.D. city- Kendrick Lamar AmeriKKKan Korruption- Capital STEEZ Aquemeni- Outkast CARE FOR ME- Saba Atrocity Exhibition- Danny Brown You can definitely tell I'm from Chicago lol. I tried to do one album per artist, but Lupe Fiasco got too much heat.
@@ChicagoFireFan99 thank you man I appreciate that! ✊🏽🙏🏽 I definitely try...lol I respect the Chicago love! Even with that tho you also got some nice versatility. Lots of chill albums too. I never got around to it (yet) but MAN I heard people LOVED that Few Good Things by Saba. I still gotta check that out
gotta check out that gang starr one bro. I wasnt hip to it
1. N.Y. State Of Mind by Illmatic Nas - 1994 2. The World Is Yours by Illmatic Nas - 1994 3. Life's A Bitch (best rap feature ever) by Illmatic Nas - 1994 4. Jesus Chorou by Nada Como Um Dia Após O Outro Dia 5. D'evils by Reasonable Doubt JAY - 1996 6. Dead Presidents II by Reasonable Doubt HOV - 1996 7. Heart of the City (Ain’t No Love) by The Blueprint Hov - 2001 8. The Art of Peer Pressure by GKMC Kendrick Lamar - 2012 9. Momma by TPAB Kendrick Lamar - 2015 10. Gorgeous by MBDTF Kanye West - 2010 Honestly my top 25 is largely made up of songs by illmatic, Reasonable Doubt, gkmc, TPAB and MBDTF. The songs on these albums are the best in the genre imo.
Jesus Chorou by Racionais (2002)
@@JonathanPereiraDaFranca yoo I ran back "The Art of Peer Pressure" a few weeks ago. Love that joint. I notice you have a lot of songs that would be considered masterpieces, whether lyrically, conceptually, production wise, or even all the above. Thanks for sharing man!
@@desmondpowellH2DG good kid, m.A.A.d city is amazing. No Kendrick and Kanye albums in your top 15 or 20?
@@JonathanPereiraDaFranca I haven't thought that far but To Pimp a Butterfly would be in there fasho. As far as Kanye, Graduation would prolly make it
Amazing top 10. My favs are: 1. Illmatic 2. Reasonable Doubt 3. good kid, m.A.A.d city 4. To Pimp A Butterfly 5. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy 6. The Blueprint 7. Late Registration 8. Yeezus 9. Watch The Throne 10. If You're Reading This It's Too Late
@@JonathanPereiraDaFranca Dope list! Watch the Throne was a moment! The Blueprint is incredible, definitely a favorite of mine although it didn't crack my Top 10. Also love that Late Registration pick, seems to go under the radar compared to Graduation or College Dropout. You've got some versatility in here! I dig that
@@desmondpowellH2DG Thanks bro. Honestly is incredible that Reasonable Doubt in your top 5 too. For me RD has the best rhymes of all time along with illmatic and GKMC.
Was Lotus flower bomb in your head when you were playing D?
@@bospats1 😂😂😂 not quite
Felt like a silent mutiny. Suddenly the whole team's allergic to defense, giving up 140 points a night. Down by 10 before they finish singing the national anthem.
@@JRyoga Man..fr. They invested so much into offense it's like they have almost nothing to give defensively
As a GSW fan, we could really use a “Javale McGee”, right now 😩
@@Kareyn2 yea y'all always did well with a lob threat/rim protector...I would love for GSW to get Vuc even though he's around the same age as Steph/Draymond
Fire list 🔥🙌🏽👏🏽 Some of my favorites: Souls of Mischief- 93 til Infinity Bone Thugs- First of tha Month Notorious B.I.G.- Juicy J. Cole-Apparently (HM: The Autograph) Eminem- Lose Yourself Lupe Fiasco- Kick, Push Wale- Legendary
Shoutout Bone Thugs! Souls of Mischief are forever stamped with that one! Great Cole pull with The Autograph! Great picks all-around my boy! 🔥✊🏽
Dope bro! Tough for me to do albums, but one recent one that I really enjoyed was J. Cole's The Off-Season. Forest Hills Drive too of course!!! And then one more is maybe more of an honorable mention, but I remember I really liked Eminem's MMLP2.
The Off-Season is DOPE. Will always get play. Plenty of dope rhymes. MMLP2 was nice after Recovery even as he was playing with different sounds
Lockdown definition.
Facts.. all facts
“Dreadlocks” would never get the green light
Foul on the forearm
No it’s racism simple as that, they gone let a white man take credit, look at Steve Kerr
Not with this situation. The Kings had white coaches before, one being Mike Malone who they also did dirty. As of now, they promoted Doug Christie to replace Mike Brown and he's mixed...but all of that is beside the point. They used Brown as a scapegoat for their poor play.
And people say tmac vs Kd is not a real matchup hahaha
The one and only Tmac
Good mention about not getting too low during a game, Ewing looked like he was having rough throughout the game. But then the very last possession...game winner! Gotta stay in it no matter how tough, as long as there's time left, you have a chance!
Love this bro! A great one to kick this concept off, really enjoyed it! D-Wade really made it look so easy, especially going up against Kobe? One performance that shows how tough Flash was! HALL OF FAMER DWYANE...WAAAAAAAADDDEEEEEEEE
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😢😢 stop it.
Note: I realized I said Onyeka Okongwu was the full time starter. He hasn't started a single game yet 😅
'Rarified Air' Dyson Daniels > Dejounte Murray
Oop 👀
@@desmondpowellH2DG Yup! I said it! Or, "Deyonte" as Cal would say 😄
New camera? 1080p Powell🔥
Just improved the lighting lol glad it makes a difference!
@@desmondpowellH2DG looks awesome!
All the Cup games last night were fire! Celtics held it down very nicely down the stretch, and as you pointed out, really showed why they added another larry to the trophy room. Spurs came up big and took advantage vs OKC. Big shoutout to Keldon Johnson, i think his play uplifted them a bit as well. Great recap and happy and excited for you on this new channel, Dez! Keep going and doing your thing bro!
Love u bro thank u! ✊🏽💯
One of my favorite pods
Appreciate you always big bro!
Love this cat!
