ND in its first rap song

[tommyIRISH23]

Well. We made it. Tyga's new song Molly has a reference to ND; "King Gold's chains, thats Notre Dame".

In all seriousness, this is great for the brand and direction of the program.

I have never heard of Tyga but there have been many references to ND through hip-hop.

ND in a rap song equals failure. IMO

Tyga is my favorite rapper and he has been for a while now. Here is the song

Tyga ft Wiz Khalifa and Mally Mall - Molly - YouTube

It's in the first minute

Just what we need.....

Why? Recruits like rap. Rap means pop culture recognition, not old wives tales of the glory days. You may not like rap, but its significance its pretty significant.

Good beat, lyrics meh.

"Put a number on your helmet like it's Notre Dame
5 grand'll get you whacked, won't even know your name"


... It's in the last verse.

Don't forget the 90's, but I get you, man. Trending in the 21st.

"Does anyone here speak jive?" Seriously, translation?

Well the line before is something like "I'm in high school, that's college"

So I think he is comparing King's Gold Chains (a form of bling) to Notre Dame

It's actually a diss on ND IMO

 

[ND NYC]

"we've hit the big time at last!"

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Per rapgenius:

Norte Dame’s helmets have 23.9 K gold in them. Tyga likes gold. He is comparing his chains to the gold of Notre Dame’s helmets

 

[gkIrish]

Per rapgenius:

Guess I was wrong

 

[SaltyND24]

Per rapgenius:

beat me to it whiskey....just about to put that!!!

 

[ClausentoTate]

For some reason I thought Lil Wayne referenced ND once... or was it just a reference to Skylar?

 

[PraetorianND]

 

[SaltyND24]

brush up on your (rap) shakespeare...B*TCHES!!!

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Yes I understand putting a number on your helmet mean someone is out to kill you, but was does like it's Notre Dame mean? Was Ross confused?

Per rap genius:

Ross can put a bounty price on your head like a number on a football helmet. Ironically, Notre Dame’s helmets don’t have numbers

In other words, he just needed something to rhyme with "name".

 

[We_Are_ND]

I knew there was a reason I hated RAWSE

 

[ickythump1225]

I don't care for most rap/hip hop but it can only be good for ND if we're in rap songs because that means we're in the pop culture psyche. Many people may not like hip hop but many young high school age recruits listen to it. Our tradition and past glory may sell to the baby boomers in the media but it's not easy to sell a 17 year old from Florida/SoCal/Texas/etc. on ND using stories from before their parents even met.

Molly is a reference to MDMA, street ecstasy that kids like to use at raves if anyone was wondering.
