Danny O'Brien Featured in Wale Music Video, Is Cool

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. This'll almost certainly be the only post of the day, so it better be worth it. And it is worth it. Like, Danny O'Brien cameo in a Wale music video worth it.

Because that's what happened. Remember when Wale gave a shout-out to DOB before the season in his song Barry Sanders? Well, now it's in video format.

Check the shot at :44. Or the screenshot below.

DOB's season has been supremely unfortunate and, sadly, may not be in College Park next season. Even if he is, a starting job isn't guaranteed.

Regardless, we need more Maryland players to be mentioned in rap song/videos. Some high school kid sees this video, and it helps to cultivate a culture of cool, particularly in conjunction with Under Armour. It's inarguable that Randy Edsall isn't the world's best "cool" coach, but hey, I'll take whatever helps.

Happy Thanksgiving. Go eat some turkey.

Not a fan.

Sorry to say it, but not a fan of this. Being able to use the N-word and curse every other word doesn’t make you a good rapper, it makes you a parody and a clown.

KRS-One and Chuck D never had to do it to get their points across, and they were 10000X the rappers that Wale is. He’s got a good flow and some talent, but using profanity is such a punk-ass-easy-way-out-move to be able to sell a ton of records to 14 year olds who thinks he’s being “hard”. Not buying it. Sorry to be so harsh, especially since Wale and I went to the same high school, but it had to be said.
