Afrika Bambaata Inspires Nike Commercial
When Nike first launched their hot dribbling style basketball commercial nationally earlier this year, it was proved to be a huge success for the giant sneaker company. However, once the video turned up on BET (Black Entertainment Television) as a music video with hip-hop godfather Afrika Bambaataa’s name attached, the hip hop community raised its collective eyebrow.
"They were doing their whole thing based on ‘Planet Rock," he said to allhiphop.com," So, we said ‘Why keep taking ‘Planet Rock’ a thousand times over and over?’ So, we came with the new electro-funk for the basketball stars, myself and Boogie Brown." Bam said that he simply applied what he has been doing for years, but replaced the beats of drums and synthesizers with the beat of bouncing basketballs

I can do a few things not much. Some of them violate the rules a little bit. Especially the carrying/palming rule. All that cross over shit don't matter if you can't score. (Jason Williams)
