Sparty losing recruits to the rap game
Wow. 2013 MSU commitment Jay Harris decides to turn down a scholarship to MSU for a rap career. I thought it couldn't get lower for Sparty after Drake Harris and Lawrence Marshall...
From Ace's twitter:
Welp. RT @MSUDanK Report: '13 signee Jay Harris not coming to MSU, decides to focus on his dream of being a rapper instead
Story from Philly News:
YouTube channel with his "hit" single:
word
Composite #126 WR in his class, other offers from Temple and Old Dominion... Can't say Sparty is likely losing a major contributer here. Funny story though.
hahahahahahhahaha if anyone's on Rivals... There was like a 15 page thread of MSU fans, their moderators, and Mike Farrell all disputing whether or not he had PSU offer (which he didn't)...
We're not laughing with you Staee
"Sparty losing recruits" and it would have read just the same.
Edit: And I think the lowest for them has yet to be defined.
I think the rap part was a pretty central point. If anything, I'd change the title to "Former MSU recruit chooses rap game over full scholly" as that drives home the point more accurately (as there was only a single recruit lost to the rap game).
I got the jist of the post, I was more making a commentary about MSU's ability to hold onto recruits in general, ref: Drake Harris and the like.
Yup...giving up sports to pursue your Rap star dreams. Sounds like an idea that's absolutely got success written ALL over it. I mean....how could this possibly go wrong?
Evidently Kobe was a pretty decent rapper in his day.
Shaq-Diesel laughs at that claim.....
Don't forget our very own Chris " C. Webb" Webber dabbled in the rap game for a quick minute. It actually didn't do too bad...
He's produced a number of songs, including for Nas (ironically on the Hip Hop Is Dead album that someone jokingly referred to earlier).
Let's hope Peppers is a little more practical should he decide to come here.
Side note: I wonder who would be the best rapper on this year's team? I bet Lewan would have some pretty great punch lines.
"The 5-foot-1, 162-pound senior said he wants to make it as a rapper."
Sorry, the name Too Short is already taken.
But you would have been perfect for MSU!
Couldn't believe there was a 5'1" wide receiver going to MSU but checked his rivals page and he's actually 5'11". That's no fun
I can't believe it. Dantonio is getting so desperate to oversign that he's forcing kids who haven't even enorlled yet out the door. Afterall, if I've learned anything from Spartan fans, it's that any kid who signs and LOI and doesn't complete 5 years at the program, then they're being forced out due to oversigning. For shame Dantonio.
Can we keep Gary?
Yes, but only because Zak Irvin wants it that way
Probably for another year, sure.
This is actually pretty sad. Is the rap "game" something that really necessitates 100% of one's time and effort? This kid turned down a free college degree...to attempt to become a rapper. Let that sink in.
Doesn't matter what school he decomitted from.
Money? Have you seen the music video?
Stories like this can't be made up.
Giving up a four-year scholarship for a sure thing like rap? What could go wrong?
THUGLIFE.....in the suburbs.
Do they screen recruits at MSU? This guy is rapping about "rolling trees" and looks like college football is better without him.
M. Manningham - no wait, too obvious - Mario M. would disagree. He does aight
I think they should be more concerned about his refernces to popping ecstasy. That shit's a million times more dangerous..

First comment:
''Well that's a kick in the balls'' I lol'd
hahahaha I love how he decides to turn down ~110k in tuition $ alone to pursue rap FULL TIME....
How much time/resources do you need to commit to being a rapper? haha
double post
This isn't a bad thing for MSU; it's a very good thing. Not saying that he ever would've seen the field, but any kid who decides to turn down a full-ride in order to focus on a rap career is an idiot (especially when he's terrible).
The fact that his video opens with him smoking a blunt is the type of thing that would've made Dantonio look like an (even bigger) idiot in two years when the kid would've been tossed from the team. Near miss Sparty. Lucky you. Next time, spend a second to google the kids you offer.
Jay Harris is no Jack Kennedy.
You won the thread.
One of the best posts of all time. Not sure how many people were watching that debate or remember that one-liner, but this is pure platinum.
If I could give you all of my points, I would.
...LOL
This is hilarious. My Sparty friends narrative for the last two years basically boils down to: We're better than Michigan, we're relative, we're a big important team! Recruits these days have just been obliterating their world view, lol
I'm sure this kid spits fire. Would have been an asset on the STAEE riot squad.
