Joe Smith Has a Rap MixTape Out...Yes That Joe Smith

So I am checking out my Twitter direct messages (http://www.twitter.com/BlkSportsOnline) and I have one from my friends over at Sporting News First Cuts (http://www.twitter.com/FirstCuts) telling me about the Joe Smith "Mixtape Thing". So I am thinking that Joe Smith maybe started a record label or he is dabbling in some producing. I was sorely mistaken. Joe Smith is the actual rapper. He goes by the rap name Joe Beast (at least it isn't Lil Joe) and yes this is the same Joe Smith that was drafted #1 by the Golden State Warriors in 1995. The same Joe Smith who cost the Minnesota Timberwolves 14,000 draft picks. The same Joe Smith who is currently coming off the bench for the Cavaliers. Here is the shocking part of the story you can listen to the mixtape for free here and honestly after listening to a couple of tracks it isn't that bad. That probably says more about the state of rap music than Joe Beast skills, but I digress. If you have a few minutes give it a listen.
