In my mind, hip-hop and basketball pair together like fine wine and a classical piano. The two can be enjoyed separately, of course, but when combined the experience is better than a sum of its parts.
Over the weekend, former-Sixers minority owner Michael Rubin hosted a Hampton house party that combined hip-hop and basketball to the fullest. Rocking all-white clothes as an homage to P-Diddy’s infamous all-white parties from the 90’s and 00’s, artists like Drake, Travis Scott, and Lil Baby performed for a lively crowd filled with NBA superstars and other rappers.
Despite all the glitz and glam in the building, the footage from last night that has been making its way around the Internet was Meek Mill’s performance alongside Joel Embiid, James Harden, and the Sixers’ newest acquisition PJ Tucker.
