The Truth About Larry Johnson’s Rap

TV news and sports-talk radio stations howled yesterday at the latest Larry Johnson controversy: a free-style rap in which he glorifies guns, says the n-word about 14 times and disses Priest Holmes and Carl Peterson.

Johnson has denied making this rap, above, which appeared on the MySpace page of Kansas City group SBL Mob. But James Tinberg, owner of Basement Entertainment, confirmed Friday morning that the man saying “Fuck Carl Peterson” is definitely Johnson, except Johnson didn’t exactly say the phrase “fuck Carl Peterson.”
