MORNING BREW
Local rapper reps KU hoops
Bill Self is a millionaire, a National Champion and a stellar recruiter.
And now, he's a verb.
"Bill Selfin," coined by local rapper Beejay McLoyd, is making Bills (money) and then spending them on oneSelf. Considering Self's recent $50,000 donation to the earthquake victims in Haiti from his own checkbook, Bill Self hasn't been Bill Selfin' much recently.
McLoyd, 23. says his definition of the verb on his album The Bill Self Project isn't a slight towards Self. In fact, McLoyd talked to Self on the weekend of the Kansas-Oklahoma football game and came away with a lot of respect.
He uses the stage name B Double E and references Kansas basketball several times on The Bill Self Project. Show up to Tech N9ne's concert next Friday at the Beaumont Club in Kansas City and you'll get to see B Double E open. He'll probably flaunt his blue Paul Pierce jersey. Maybe you'll snag one of 100 free copies of The Bill Self Project.
"I actually got Bill Self a copy one night when he was at Salty Iguana," McLoyd said. "He was with his kids and they liked it, it was crazy."
"Bill $elf" is probably the catchiest, and cleanest, song on the album, but others talk up the "Hawks. McLoyd says the skits are comedic in nature, but the

songs and lyrics are legitimate.
McLoyd spits that his cup is "filled to the top the just like Allen Fieldhouse." He made the game, so in turn, you should call him James Naismith. He's "clutch like Chalmers at the buzzer."
McLoyd played on Rush's AAU basketball team in middle school, but ended up playing football. Pretty well, too. He made All-Metro Honorable Mention as a wide receiver his senior year at Blue Valley North. He was recruited to play at Kansas but couldn't make grades.
McLoyd would know, since he says he hung out with Mario Chalmers, Brandon Rush and Darrell Arthur when they were at Kansas, after all.
"We used to always play Call of Duty," McLoyd said. "All the time when they were back in school. Brandon used to be my main boy before high school."
He couldn't get in to study, so maybe we should let him in to rap. "Bill Self"
should make it onto the pregame playlist that blares through Allen Fieldhouse before the band starts playing at 45 minutes before tipoff.
We can listen to Lil' Wayne at home anytime, but how many times in our lives will we hear a local rapper rapping about Kansas basketball, Allen Fieldhouse and Mario Chalmers as we sit in Allen Fieldhouse waiting for Kansas basketball and the next Mario Chalmers?
"Id feel like, shit, on top of the world," M.Clover said.
McLovd would love it.
If you want to check B Double E out, search "B Double E Bill Self Rap" on YouTube, turn up your speakers and enjoy.

Indiana drops Penn State to even record
The Hoosiers led by nine with 6:20 left but couldn't shake Penn State and guard Talor Battle, who had a game-high 22.
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Verdell Jones ill hit two late long jumpers, Devan Dumes scored 10 of his 15 points in the second half and Indiana held off Penn State 67-61 on Thursday night for its first road win of the season.
Andrew Ott's layup got Penn
The Nittany Lions erased an early 11-point deficit and tied the game at 40 after a layup by Battle and a foul shot by Chris Babb with 13-plus minutes left.
State within three, but Jones nailed a 3 with a defender in his face to get the lead back to 63-57 with 2:58 left, and another jumper more than a minute later to put the Hoosiers up eight.
But Dumes scored seven of Indiana's next 10 points to frustrate Penn State.
