    Anyone familiar with hip hop has probably heard of Reflection Eternal, the collaborative project of Talib Kweli and DJ Hi Tek. Their new album Revolutions Per Minute dropped a few weeks ago, and the lead single "Just Begun (feat. Jay Electronica, J Cole and Mos Def)" name-drops The Dream.

    I suppose some of you probably couldn't care less, but I know I appreciate it when love for the Rockets comes from a source outside the Wide World of Sports. So if hip hop's your thing, then take a break from all the offseason speculating and give a listen. Jay Electronica mentions Hakeem around 1:25.

    Game (the rapper) name-dropped Hakeem and the Championship rockets (and a whole lot of people) on 400 bars.

    Actually the line was referencing the movie Coming to America. Eddie Murphy's character was Hakeem and Arsenio Hall's was Semi.

    Not the line I was talking about. After that, he says:

    "This that black Elohim Anunnaki rap
    That Farrakhan Akeem Olajuwon Qaddafi rap"

    Advance the song to 1:25.
