As of late, Hip-Hop’s influence on the 2013 Major League Baseball season seems like it is everywhere. With Hip-Hop being as popular as it has ever been, it’s clear that Hip-Hop is making a lasting impact on America’s so-called “favorite past-time.” First Bob Costas rapped some of Ludacris’ lyrics, then the New York Yankee’s second baseman Robinson Cano signed with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation sports management firm. Lets not forget the new movie 42 about the legendary Jackie Robinson that features Jay-Z’s song “Brooklyn” in the trailer.

There are even some that are saying this may be the official song for the Oakland A’s this season when it’s all said and done.
