This week, rapper Juelz Santana dropped “Time Ticking.” That track features Dave East, Rowdy Rebel and the incarcerated Bobby Shmurda.

The track is a banger! NBA fans may closely resonate with Juelz Santana about ten years ago when he dropped The Second Coming, a Nike commercial with Steve Nash, Jermaine O’Neal, Rasheed Wallace, Chris Paul, LeBron James, Paul Pierce, Amare Stoudemire and Kobe Bryant.

Speaking of Bryant, Juelz Santana, a die-hard Knicks fan, admitted to having a love-hate relationship with Bryant on Scoop B Radio. “I wasn’t a fan of Kobe,” Santana said on Scoop B Radio.

“Not in a bad way. But he demanded my respect.”

“You couldn’t hate on him. no matter what. You know that guy that you may not like, but you can’t say nothin’ bad about him? That’s what Kobe was to me. I was a big Jordan fan and everybody always said he was better than Jordan, so that was my whole dilemma with not being a Kobe fan.”
