"New York is the town and the team is Knicks!"-Phife Dawg, A Tribe Called Quest

Since Phife retired his mic, we're left with only two cousins from Yonkers and Queens respectively to deliver rhymes about the New York Knicks these days. Genovese and Gustapo are two 29-year Itals who believe that their rhymes are the best way to reach today's Knicks fan who is a part of that new-fangled youth culture.

Here's a sample of the lyrics:

CHORUS -
WE SCREAMIN’ “FIRE ISIAH’’ HE TURNED THE FRANCHISE TO HELL
WE NEED DAVID STERN TO SOMEHOW MAKE THE DOLANS SELL
WE NEED ALL OUR DRAFT PICKS AND A PTP
WE GOTTA GET A CHIP BACK TO MSG....

VERSE -
I BEEN REPPIN’ THE KNICKS, LI’L KID AROUND THE MID EIGHTIES,
BERNARD KING, CARTWRIGHT, SHORTS TIGHT CRAZY,
PATRICK CAME, MARK JACKSON CAME, PAT RILEY, VAN GUNDY SHOWED US THE D GAME,
STARKS GRABBED HIS JERSEY ALWAYS REPPED NY,
OAKMAN AND MASE ALWAYS PLAYED WITH PRIDE,
TRUE KNICKS CAMBY AND KURT THOMAS SPLIT,
NOW HERE COMES ISIAH NOW WE TURNED TO SPIT,
GOT THE HIGHEST PAYROLL BUT THE WORST CHEMISTRY FIT,
I GOT FIRE ISIAH TATTOOED ON MY WRIST,
AND ON MY SANTA'S WISH LIST WAS YOU KNOW WHAT,
GIVE ME MULLIN OR WEST IN THAT GM SPOT,
BUT I'M STILL WATCHIN A TRUE FAN NEVER HOLDING OUT,
AND IF WE FIRE ISIAH STILL GOTTA GET DOLAN OUT,
BUT EITHER WAY I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DAY,
WE BRING A BANNER TO THE GARDEN THE GREATEST PLACE TO PLAY...

LISTEN for yourself.
