hip hop artist can do songs promoting violence to women, drug abuse, child abuse, dogfighting but don't and i repeat DON'T infringe on the trademark of NBA team. their is such a thing as rule of law!

Grab your crotch in front of children, let your pants drop down so the upper half of the crack of butt shows, but heaven's sake, like above posts says, do not cross an NBA team. Of course this sort of disgusting behavior is typical of this hip-hop mularkey passing itself off as music. No respect for anything or anybody. I have to laugh when these rappers grab the front of their pants at the zipper, wave their arms like their telling me something important, as if I am supposed to be impressed. They all are a good joke, worthy of a good laugh and a turn of the off button. Any body who can't get a ball cap on straight has nothing informative for me to stop and listen to.

The Carolina Hurricanes are an NHL team, not an NBA team.
