Fan drops Kanye remix about Lakers tanking in order to draft Ben Simmons
The Lakers (11-44) are one of the worst teams in the NBA, which means they're one of the teams in contention to land talented draft prospect Ben Simmons. In fact, one fan is so excited at the prospect (what else do Lakers fans have to live for these days?) that he's made a song about the Lakers tanking so that the LSU star can come to Los Angeles.
The song is titled "Ben Simmons' Comin' Here (Lakers Tank Anthem)" and it was produced by Nick Angstadt (also the man behind the remix of Drake's "Hotline Bling" to parody L.A. coach Byron Scott), who says this "terrible" Lakers season left him bored and frustrated enough to release this song.
And it just so happens to be a parody of "Good Life" by Kanye West, who has a new album scheduled to drop Thursday.
"I had been working on the song for a little while," Angstadt told FOX Sports. "The fact that the Lakers lost, Ben Simmons played, and Kayne's album dropped all at the same time was too good to pass up."
The remix of "Good Life" includes some impressive wordplay about Simmons and the Lakers. Here are the song's five best lines:
1. "About to play in L.A. / there's no way I'd play in Phill-ay."
2. "The Lake Show: it's not like Atlanta, it's just like L.A. / It feels like Miami, more titles than N.Y."
3. "Don't mind the coach / You've got to know: He's bound to go."
4. "Keep balling down in college / We'll keep tanking until we hit the bottom."
5. "Ben Simmons, what's good? Reunited with D'Angelo, we know that you would."
