That video is at least one year old though, so he wasn't as as he is now

Ha, so it is! He may have to rethink one or two of those lyrics.

Anyways, I guess his rap career is going a little better than his footy career at the moment:

Liverpool FC footballer Ryan Babel collaborates with Sway

'He's a sick rapper' according to Sway

    * August 18, 2009 | 

Sway has confirmed that Liverpool FC and Holland footballer Ryan Babel is to feature on his forthcoming album.

The grime artist confirmed that Babel raps on one track on the LP, which is provisionally called 'The Signature 2'.

"He's actually on the song with me and Neutrino," Sway told BBC Newsbeat. "Yeah, Ryan Babel's a good mate of mine. He's a nice guy, he's a sick rapper. The way he flips his flow is marvellous, man, so I wanted him to do a bit - half Dutch, half British - and he really pulled it off, man. I think it's a track that people are gonna like."

Sway added that he did not think Babel needed to ask permission to appear on the track from Liverpool FC manager Rafa Benitez.

"He's his own man, he wanted to do the track so we got together and made it happen," said Sway. "We linked up in New York as well. He's a nice guy and I have a lot of fun with him."

Other guests Sway confirmed to appear on the album, which is scheduled to be released in 2010, include Craig David and Tinchy Stryder, reports the BBC.

I can't recall the last time Babel managed to "flip his flow" on the pitch... 

but do you honestly beleive that his "muscic career" effects the way he plays? because i dont, the guy plays poor for Liverpool because he isnt a very good footballer. I cant see how what he does in his spare time affects that unless he's taking drugs or playing another sport for a hobby.

See above, mate.  As for the connections...you're right--the fact that he's a sh!te footballer has no bearing on the fact that he's a sh!te rapper, or vice versa.

i dont realise what the point of this thread is, so what if Babel raps for hobby, its not that what makes him a poor football player i tell u what, if he played guitar for a rock band in his spare time i bet it wouldnt even get a mention.

TBPH, I posted it as a laugh because I find Babel a rather comic figure at times.  But, the more I look at those lyrics in the first post the more I wonder.  Here's a lad that is rapping about his connections to Liverpool and, in the same breath, is talking about 'bitches' and people needing to lock up their daughters and how he's got money to burn now because of his contract with Liverpool.  Frankly, it reflects rather poorly on the club.  If he wants to rap fine, it's his free time and he can spend it how he likes, but I'm not sure he should be mentioning the club as part of his poser, gangsta wannabe schtick. 

yeah your probably right about the content in his lyrics i would prefer if he didnt mention the club in his rhymes, but its still irrelevant to his form on the pitch.

I maybe the only one here but i quite like its.. The music sounds cool aswel..

You just know that we'll sell him someday soon and he'll come up with some cringeworthy rap about how "Rafa be hatin" and "Stevie G knowin' what time it is"!

[mistyred]

OMFG what a kn'ob.


I'd love to give him a slap, he needs to learn how to use what ability he has playing football not spouting sh1t.

And judging by that i use the word "Ability" very lightly.

Geez when I first start reading I thought it was Bob having a laugh

He can do what he wants in his own time no matter how useless he is, but leave LFC out of the lyrics

[mistyred]

Babel actually flow's over the track quite well, had it been i French it would have sounded better,
the Dutch always sound like their gonna spit a lurgie

Transfer your energy to the pitch Ryan lad.

I want him out of LFC!!
