Ron Artest doesn't really care if you don't like to hear him rap. He doesn't care if you think he should put down the mic and get more focused on basketball. And he doesn't care if you didn't like to see him release his most recent mixtape, Ball'n, on VIBE.com on Thursday morning—just hours after his Los Angeles Lakers suffered a crushing defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
He's committed to doing this music thing. And if you don't like it? Well, too bad. He's not planning on stopping anytime soon, so you'd better get used to it. Shortly after he dropped Ball'n, VIBE.com caught up with Artest and asked him to explain exactly why he can't get enough of the rap game. And in typical Ron-Ron fashion, he didn't disappoint.—Chris Yuscavage
