Someone come get Lonzo Ball.
The 19-year-old championed by overzealous dad LaVar Ball has worked the nerves of Twitter users for claiming Nas isn’t a factor when it comes to hip-hop.
“Y’all outdated, man. Don’t nobody listen to Nas no more,” Lonzo says on the Ball family’s new Facebook reality series, “Ball In The Family.” “Real hip-hop is Migos and Future.”
Now, Ball may be a Los Angeles Laker, but his hip-hop knowledge is severely lacking. He may get cut some slack since he’s only 19 years old, but true hip-hop heads know about the greats — regardless of their age.

Some folks, however, felt Ball kinda had a point.
The realest shit Lonzo Ball ever said is "No one listens to Nas anymore."

In all fairness Lonzo Ball is 19. Nas has never been poppin during his cognitive lifetime

Still, Ball has an idea of who some of the rap icons are and included them on a 2016 list of his favorite MCs. But he still had Future on the list, much to Twitter user’s chagrin.
