Hip Hop Represents the Hoyas
Hip-hop's love affair with Georgetown has been well established. (For example, see Outkast's Rosa Parks or Biggie's Warning.) Now, there are two new songs on that give a shout out to my alma mater.
The first is Nas' Hope, off his aptly-titled new album Hip-Hop is Dead:
"You had to have somebody else's, a small chrome on your pelvis,
Starter Jacket, Blue Georgetown or Green Celtic..."
The second is Jay-Z's The Prelude, from his recent album Kingdom Come:
"Pantries full of Arm & Hammer, don't take Nancy Drew to see
what it do, I'm a damn G
Just sent a million dollars through a hands free
That's big money talk, can you answer me?
Before the Answer was a 3
I was down in Georgetown with a Hoya chick, lawyer chick..."
I've always been perplexed by Hip-Hop's fascination with Georgetown, considering the preponderance of preppy, rich, New England blue-bloods at the school. But I suppose Hip-Hop transcends class and race these days...

It was the basketball teams from the early-mid 80's. They were the "bad-boys" of college basketball. All black and very aggressive. Plus the colors where fly.
The most popular one was the deep blue with grey letters, then the grey with blue letters then the very bold all white satin joint with blue letters. To set it off you gad to rock the Georgetown nikes as well
