I be the only young boy that the big boys watch...
As many can tell the more popular my blog gets the more real I keep it. I'm not writing these blogs for attention, publicity or to try at be an Internet gangsta. I just like to articulate thoughts in transcript form. And when I do decide to pull a card or let people know the truth without telling I am always able to reinforce my statements with facts and numbers, the two things and this world that never lie.
So when I say the name "Team Takeover" or its President or HNIC (you know we don't mention names) I just have to ask one question... What exactly have you taken over? I feel in all actuality that they shouldn't even have that name.
I'd like to write this blog in the form of a battle rap cause after I was kicked out of the National High School Hoops Festival I declared war, and I don't mean the card game. So Imma take a line from either the 50 Cent - Ja Rule battle raps or the Jay Z - Nas battle and break it down cause that little dude let that Nike check get to his head and forgot who's started this running events hustle and who helped you even get your little deal.
DAMN HOMIE...IN HIGH SCHOOL YOU WAS THE MAN HOMIE...
When I was in high school Newport School was popping, I went up there a couple times for their open gyms but mainly watched. I remember you, you were the JV coach and varsity assistant. But you made the majority of the subs and called the majority of the plays. My man played JV up there so I used to go to his games. I used to see your intensity and I was like this dude is gonna be one hell of a head coach one day. I used to see how cool you were with the players off the court. You were perfect at separating the two. And you had a son who plays basketball and you never played favorites. I can really say that I respected you and it was real. You just didn't realize that I still saw myself as one day being more relevant in basketball and I didn't realize how you letting me get close was actually just part of your plot to take what I put my blood, sweat and tears in to build. The only reason why your plan didn't work was because I never wanted to play little brother...I liked the role of BOSS better.
YOU HAD A SPARK WHEN YOU STARTED BUT NOW YOU JUST GARBAGE
I remember when I first got to Hoop Magic and you told me that you wanted to do an event down there, it's like it was yesterday. at that point you still only knew me from Hoop Group and now Hoop Magic. But to hear that from you and I was only about 21-22, that was a big deal. I remember Demarr Johnson, Rodney White, Jamison Brewer. I was at those Newport games. And most important I was trying to get on. I went home, thought up a catchy name for the tournament (The Triple Threat Triple S), had my man design the logo, promoted and got the majority of the PAYING TEAMS and pretty much made it so that you would just walk in the gym look good and coach your team. It ran well and organized for 2 years but wait...did you even have the event this year? And why is that? Aren't you with Nike? Aren't you the man? Aren't you the one who painted the picture to Curtis Symonds that I wasn't needed and you could do what I do? Please
CAUSE A N@#$GA WEAR A KOUFI IT DON'T MEAN THAT HE NICE
The Koufi (I apologize if I spelled it wrong) symbolizes the Nike deal. Its like after you got that you forgot where you came from and how you got there. You began to forget who really put you on. And I get it, you got a deal now so people treat you differently, you get more attention , some gear, yeah I get all that. BUT I was the one who was picking coaches up from airports or delivering money to your house or taking kids down to Bob Gibbons for you. I was up for hours making sure your schedule for your tourney was set up for you to make it to the finals. Me and my people were passing out fliers at Mason games or Maryland games for that event that you threw me out of when it was in its first year.
Then you want to run around scream that I used your name to promote my event because I used Takeovaboyz? First off do you know what my band TOB stands for? Mind you they been out since 2004 when you were still under Arty. And what was the name of that Adidas t AAU team Devin Ebanks played for his 17 under summer coached by his father in 08? Why would I want to use yall name or Ebanks name rather when yall aren't successful at anything besides coaching? You didn't have your tournament, Baltimore Elite's joint looked good but made no dough cause of all the free teams (you know I still got people on the inside who keep me posted). You have to remember small teams were only supporting you cause of me. They don't fuck with yall because you steal players. Then you want to scream to one of my men at the event "Where's your man Arize at so we can show him what a real tournament looks like" but get mad cause of what Capitol Poop or DC No Fans tells you I said or I put on a flyer.
You have a Nike deal, had endless radio promotion, DeMatha's gym (Their coach did some fake shit over the summer by the way, that might be the next blog) all those "big name" teams and still didn't do numbers. We had had more people at the McNamara - Roosevelt game at Bowie State than you did all day. You're twice my age, have half the education (which is why you coach AAU and never head coach at a high School, that requires a degree) and I didn't event get to my big event at Trinity with all my "big name" teams. You got I95 Camperz pushing your event and I don't event speak to those guys and your shit still doesn't pop. So I understand why you threw me out. I mean look at me. In my short time in basketball I have gone from Hoop Group at 21 to Hoop Magic at 22 and built it up from SCRATCH to the point where you tried to weasel your way in there to try and capitalize on all my blood, sweat and tears. And now I got MTB. My band has performed with Gucci Mane, Wacka Flocka, Nicki Minaj, Wale, you name it and if I'm lying just ask around. Ask yall children (cause yall are old and have kids in my age bracket). They be in the functions. Ask your old player who wear my clothes. You can't compete even with a Nike deal cause you're not real.
JAY PUT YOU ON X MAN YOU HOT NOW YOU WALK AROUND LIKE YOU A BIG SHOT
In this business everyone gets put on but you act like Curtis Malone didn't put you on. How did you even get DJ to Newport? How did you get your name in AAU? You used to say that Triple Threat or Takeover made my events and without yall playing they would suck. Well in two years of being on my own I haven't done any AAU events I don't use DeMatha or PVI so what's your argument now? I don't and never will need you. That's the main reason that I decided to run with Assault until you know who decided to be off that bullshit and try and play tough guy (I'm save that one for a future blog too).
AND YOU DID YOU KNOW WHAT WITH YOU KNOW WHO
And the main reason why I will NEVER squash this shit even though my camp thinks I should is that sneaky ass snake ass shit you and those people out in Chantilly pulled. You really thought I didn't see it coming? And you really thought that I was going to let you guys run MY certified events that July? You must have lost your brains. I seen the lack of loyalty in both parties and I just sat back and waited for it to go down. No way was I going to let you guys eat off my blood and sweat. I mean Hoop Magic will let Saddam Husein run a tournament in there as thirsty as they are and were. But for all I did for you and as loyal as I was you tried to "Takeover" what I built from the ground up? Same names, same deals, all that. And you says I'm jocking your style? Little man you want to be Arize more than you know it but you're so out of touch and frankly not smart enough to make it happen. And I always knew that which is why I was never worried. You can coach and recruit but that's where it ends. When it comes to running these events you don't stand a chance....EVEN IF GOD SPONSORED YOUR SHIT!!! Stay in your lane homes cause this is a young mans game and frankly your just TOO DAMN OLD...all of you are. Yall might as well bring Nima back
TAKEOVER THE BREAKS OVER NIGGA!!!
See you at Trinity...or actually sit your ass outside in the cold like I did cause you're not allowed in. You might try and talk to the Trinity people to take that event. And when DeMatha gets tired of playing in your average events and embarrassing their program playing in others just because a family member is on the staff he will come on board too. Cause as long as I'm around yall aint takin over nothing...And remember I'm 25 and still aint even get my sponsorship yet. So who's really taking over?
