This reminds me of avant garde pop music from some sort of dystopian future. So strangely infectious!

Our bad recreation of the classic track from the Walker, Texas Ranger episode "Division Street".

LYRICS:
I’m a backboard breaker
I’m a 360 Spinner
I’m a slam dunk daddy  
In a word, I’m a winner

You know I got skills 
got the game that thrills 
Gonna make a million dollars 
Run up a lot of bills

I know how to jump
I know how to skip
When I show up to play
You best-a give me no lip

Couldn’t hear this line
Cuz Walker n’ Boomer be talkin’
Savin’ kids lives
Though pizza hawkin’

You know I got the skills
You know I got the skills
Got the skills

I’m an no-look passer
I’m a top of the list man  
Check out my stats 
I’m the king of assists man

I can run I can rebound 
I can play all kind D 
There’s no I in team 
The team is in me 

I’m cutting to my left 
I’m goin to my right
I got the biscuit in the bucket
I go 50 a night

Anytime I want it 
I can get a triple double 
If you try to guard me 
You’re gonna have a world of trouble

You know I got the skills
You know I got the skills
Got the skills

I’m bringing down the hammer
When I start to “D” you up
If I see an open lane 
No ones going for the cup 

Got the sweet false hoper
Got the baseline Jumper
When I crash the boards 
I’m a flat out thumper

I’m chatting up the zebra 
So I can get a call 
When it’s winning time - I say 
brother give me the ball 

You wanna see some moves 
You know I got em
When I’m puttin' up a J 
It’s hitting nothing but the bottom

You know I got the skills
You know I got the skills
Got the skills

"Danny was my longshot for this project. By the time I got moving on this he’d already signed with Fool’s Gold and was about to drop XXX, which would establish him as one of the fiercest MC’s out. I emailed and DM’d to no avail. One day I decided to try something really crazy and picked up the phone and called him. The stars were aligned and a rapper actually answered his phone. In all of two minutes he agreed to cut a track. I emailed him a .zip of beats I’d culled from the homies and about a week later I got a sendspace link entitled “SWEENY SONG.” He had taken a Mndsgn beat and absolutely ripped it to shreds. It’s been so long since he cut it that it now sounds like vintage Danny to me, which of course I love. I fixed the typo in the title and ran with it."
