Lastings Milledge Raps; The Mets Aren't Too Pleased

Back in March, we told you about Lastings Milledge's foray into the rap game. He is the president of Soul-Ja Boi Records as well as the manager of what appears to be the label's only artist -- Manny D.

Well, on Soul-Ja Boi Records' Web site at the moment, you can hear ~~Lastings Milledge~~ L. Millz featured on the track "Bend Ya Knees." This may come as an enormous shock to some of you out there, but not only does this rap song refer to women in a derogatory manner, but swear words are prevalent and the n-word is used multiple times. Shocking, I know! In a rap song? How can this be?

Anyways, as you can well imagine, the Mets aren't too pleased.

The Mets statement said, "We disapprove of the content, language and message of this recording, which does not represent the views of the New York Mets." GM Omar Minaya later added that he was "looking into it."

Well, at least we know no one in the New York Mets organization is all about finding a woman who is "lady in the streets but freaky up in the sheets."

Here are my thoughts on this: there is, in fact, a conduct clause in players' contracts. Milledge, with this song, has probably violated that to a certain extent. He is at fault. But what I will not do is stand on a throne from up high and lash out about how immature and immoral Lastings Milledge is.

And, why is that?

Because Jay Greenberg of the NY Post has already done that for you, everybody! (The song uses the same word as Don Imus did! The Mets' regrets would seem more sincere if they traded or suspended him, so the organization is clear they won't stand for type of stuff!) So, you know, if you're looking for that line of thought, you can follow the above link. I wouldn't recommend it, though.
