The title of this post was a tweet I put out a few days ago and it seems that there is no answer. Which I happen to think is a bit of a shame. And no, all those Wu-Tang references don't count because The Clan, like everyone else, never actually rap about darts in the Lakeside sense.
Given that the rappers are predisposed to comparing themselves to comic book characters, soap stars, TV chefs and every major athlete going it seems unfair that darts players have been overlooked. Especially as it's possibly the most Hip Hop friendly sport around.
The gaudy jewellery; the over sized shirts; the plethora of nicknames; the conspicuous consumption of alcohol; the overbearing smell of testosterone; the token hoes in the crowd. Sounds rather like every gangsta rap video you've ever seen, doesn't it?
Yet they've been cruelly ignored by the Hip Hop community when clearly they're desperate for our acceptance.
To rectify this situation I would like to offer a four pack of Stella to anyone who sends me an MP3 of a rap about professional darts. No it does not count if it is in Dutch.
