Despite the dodgy manner with which he left North Carolina, Larry Drew II had at least one thing going for him when he bolted Chapel Hill: he set himself up for a new beginning. He could have merely chosen his next school and concentrated on being a solid contributor and a good student. He may still eventually turn out to be more successful in life than the players he left behind, many of whom weren’t terribly sad to see the back of him.

No, Larry. Just...No.

Because we all know that one of the most insulting and impressive things you can possibly do to inspire fear in your detractors (eyes in full roll) is to blister them with a freestyle rap, Drew II decided to unleash his rhyming hounds on his former program on the occasion of his 21st birthday.

We’ve seen this atrocity mentioned in a lot places today, but our favorite was the article (talk about blistering, wow…but still a bull’s eye) by Mike DeCourcy of The Sporting News. He has more examples of Drew’s, er, skill in his write-up. Our favorite, though, was this little gem: “They tried to tell me just to play my role, but who’s going to stick to a script that’s got typos?” Sure. We wonder if Drew is aware that he’s criticizing a “script” that’s worked pretty well for Roy Williams in the past, and one that’s well-written enough to have worked swimmingly this year…since Drew left.

No doubt you’ve heard that living well is the best revenge. Drew can still do that. But it won’t be as a result of a rap career.
