Cali-perrryyy, Caliperry

Anyone ever heard of Scoupe?

Yeah, me neither.

A little internet sleuthing tells us that not only is Scoupe "a G", but he is also a rapper based out of Lexington, Kentucky. And if you are anything in Lexington, you are a fan of the University of Kentucky.

Scoupe is no different. He has recently released a mixtape aptly titled "Calipari, Calipari", on which the title track is the new, self-proclaimed theme song for UK basketball.

Take a listen:



While Scoupe is never going to be confused with hip-hop behemoths like a Jay-Z, a Nas, or a Tupac, the song isn't exactly terrible. My favorite line: "The whole Blue fans stand up and toast, we finally got a ball coach".

More John Calipari news: Not only has he hired two former Kentucky players (and national champions at that), Scott Padgett and Tony Delk, to his staff, he has also bought a house worth $2.295 million ... and the lot next to it for $550,000.

And Jim Calhoun makes too much money?
