Steph Curry appeared in the newest video from Tobe Nwigwe. It was a big improvement from his college rap career.
"Daddy taught me how to flick my wrist, I'm my father's son... They should put the basket in the casket after I am done."

In the new video for Tobe Nwigwe's "Lil Fish, Big Pond," the featured song for Curry's new Apple TV+ documentary, "Underrated," Curry spits bars while sitting in a rowboat in, well, a pond.
Curry's verse is quite brash, bragging about his success, as the whole song was written by Nwigwe from Curry's persona. It goes:
My, my, my, look how things have changed
They know I’m the one. Daddy taught me how to flick my wrist, I’m my father’s son.
Think I’m pistol-packing, how that ratchet on me like a gun.
They should put the basket in a casket after I am done
Even though he didn't actually write the lyrics, Curry looks confident delivering them in his bucket hat and mint-colored clothing. And he knows all the lyrics, unlike another NBA superstar who loves to post videos of himself rapping along to songs with questionable lyrical accuracy.
Curry has certainly come a long way since his time in college. For a campus TV program called "The Davidson Show," Curry did a verse celebrating beloved campus dining spot Vail Commons. It wasn't exactly fire.
Their Sunday brunch is golden rule
And last night's girl thinks you're a tool
Awkward eye contact just isn't cool
And your boys' call outs are way too cool
There's also some inside references about a rival campus eatery and taters but frankly, you would probably have to be a Davidson student in 2006 to understand them.
Will Curry try to cross over into the world of hip-hop like he did with golf? He's made some progress since college but nowhere close to enough progress. Plus he has two daughters who are old enough to roast him mercilessly for even trying. Like awkward eye contact, dads rapping just isn't cool.
