What the Bulls listen to, Come on D. Rose Really?

Recently Red Eye Magazine caught up with some of the Chicago Bulls and Blackhawks players to see what kind of music they listen too. Kirk Hinrich "keeps it old-school with 2Pac and Notorious B.I.G. keeping him company prior to tip-offs". Luol Deng and Joakim Noah prefer Bob Marley, but the one that pissed me off was when Derrick Rose told the reporter that he mostly listens to southern Hip Hop and took the time to get into futhur detail "claiming" that before games he likes to listen to WACKa Flocka Flame. God dammit. Full Article under the pic.
