Clint Dempsey: American soccer player, rap star…wait, rap star?

June 8th, 2006 | Posted by PostmanE

This video, which has actually been on BET, is a Nike promotional video. You’ve probably seen a lot of those lately, especially World Cup ones.

What makes this different is that it stars Clint Dempsey, aka “Deuce,” rapping about not treading on him and other such interests. There is another, larger, human on this video also. Not sure who that is exactly.

ESPNSoccernet has a story about Dempsey’s background, which, we’ll admit, seems sufficiently ghetto as to allow a rap video’s production. The real surprise here, besides the fact that this was made, is that it’s really not all that bad. That is, it could be a lot, lot, lot worse. A lot worse.
