I'm not ready to say I'd put as much trust in Keenan Allen's ears as I'd put in his hands, but the guy has got a pretty solid point. I'm all for athletes exploring other avenues of entertainment, but if that's the lane in which Le'Veon Bell's album is staying then it'll inevitably be quick to come upon a dead end. That snippet was only 38 seconds long and it had me feeling as though I had fallen victim to a Cardi B speciality cocktail thrice by the merciful end of it. Objectively speaking, that was simply not enjoyable music. Therefore, with "heat" being the only other available option, Keenan Allen almost had no choice but to call it "trash". Not sure why Le'Veon Bell took so much offense, as if a personal text disparaging his work would have been less insulting than public text disparaging his work, but the fact of the matter is that the work was in need of disparagement after being left with a caption that committed the mortal sin of asking for both the the internet's attention and opinion. Regardless of being a member of an NFL team, Keenan Allen is also a member of Twitter, and thus it is his duty to call a spade a spade when called upon, even when an actual spade should have been used to dig a deep, deep hole for the final resting place of the spade in question. If you ask me, that was as constructive as criticism gets on social media or in the rap game. Therefore, I can't help but think it's a good thing that the Jets finally gave Le'Veon Bell that guarantee money. Clearly he's not cut out for the music business, since all it took for him to get sensitive was one of his peers doing exactly what was asked of him, which was to let the artist know that far more than most would rather just go 5-wide than risk their eardrums by running back that record. Whatever the case may be, Keenan Allen clearly isn't one to...ahem...hold out and/or be a 'yes man', so at the very least he's not quite fit for Le'Veon Bell's following.
