Josh Jarboe is back! This time freestyling!!
The controversial 2008 Oklahoma recruit, Josh Jarboe is back at it again after being arrested on gun charges in March. This time freestyling about everything from Atlanta, dreads, and AKS!! It's nothing poetic, nor idea for someone to freestyle about guns [then upload it to YouTube] after their recent past. Luckily for Jarboe in this red-state of Oklahoma, we like our guns, too!

OU Player's Video Pulled From YouTube: KOCO TV

Labels: Josh Jarboe, Oklahoma Sooners
While I agree its stupid to rap in front of camera, its amazing that Sooner fans kept this video alive. It was pulled from youtube less than hour after the link was placed on a popular Sooner board (by another Sooner fan). Before it gets pulled , a Sooner blog copies the vid on their server. Now its linked on the New York Times blog tonight by ...you guessed it, a former writer for a Sooner website. I guess it will fade away eventually but I have to wonder why those individuals (and you) were compelled to share this video with the world.
9:00 PM
Can you seriously just not post the video. Delete it, or something. I believe the University has already asked to have it removed from various sites, and it just keeps popping up.
...Stupid blogs.
1:30 AM
While I agree the language is not suitable for the everyday person. IT'S JUST MUSIC.. I don't see what the big deal is.. Look at Shaq.
7:40 AM
Interesting- comments are that it shouldnt be shown rather than it shouldnt have been made- qa sign of the times and fan views-just win baby-he never should have made the team- and Stoops is praised for always"doing the right thing"? Its obvious what the standards are,the right thing now is to get rid of him.
7:55 AM
The video is disgusting, I just hope he's worth the trouble.
8:40 AM
pshhh
9:04 AM
Stoops you need to send the man packing, we don't need his services in Norman! Just my two cents.
9:15 AM
This just shows how stupid youth is today. Don't they think anyone will notice when they post something as disgusting as this. But then again I guess they don't care. What a shame!!
9:45 AM
Let's just say.. he's not worth the trouble and he's no lil wayne.
TREY
9:54 AM
It's not big deal, I don't think he meant no harm.. If there's a crime maybe its stupidity!
10:33 AM
Damn boy. Your momma needs to bust you upside your head and slap some common sense into your brain. It's time to grow up my man.
10:45 AM
terrible freestyle, the youngin' best perform on the field.
10:57 AM
Everything that is wrong with the charade of "student athlete deserving of TAXPAYER funded education" is contained right there in that video.
And to the folks who stupidly ask that the video be removed: YOU'RE A PART OF THE PROBLEM! These thugs arent' worthy of YOUR tax dollars.
11:40 AM
Get this guy out of Norman ASAP. He is nothing but trouble and I would hope that Stoops applies his no nonsense rules to him just like Bomar. You keep him around and eventually its going to come back to haunt you.
1:09 PM
I am an OSU fan and the kid is a kid. He has had a troubled past but if that kid can go to Norman, become disciplined, and maybe learn an occupation then is the world better off or not? Will he make it or not? Who knows but, I'd much rather run into him with a few job skills that he can learn a living with than I had on the street corner some night with no skills.
As for the continual complaint about "going to school at taxpayer's expense" may I remind you that football pays the way for all other sports at almost every university in the country so those of you who use that argument do not realize the facts.
2:19 PM
I love the OU fans who are mad at other OU fans for posting this. What a great attitude. "If we can just cover it up, and nobody ever sees it, it'll be ok, right?"
Is that how you feel about everything an OU player does that is questionable? Win at all costs, indeed.
Pathetic.
I applaud all the OU people who continue and discuss how stupid this video is.
2:27 PM
Send him packing without his gun.
2:46 PM
Watch out Norman! Pistol toting gangsta is in the hood!
2:51 PM
we gonna learn him a good ejucation so he can be an ass et to oklahoma. what he magor in semi or fuli atomatic?
3:03 PM
What he said was bad. I think everyone would agree with that. But cut the kid some breaks. Do you even know if he was the one that posted it? NO. Do you know if he is sorry for doing it? NO. Also, if everytime some kid did something wrong and we just kicked them off the team, you would not even have college football, everyone would be kicked off. Nobody is perfect and what he said was wrong, but you can't sit here and bash a kid, and i say again an 18 year old KID, for making a mistake for freestyling infront of a camera.
IT SOOOO EASY TO POINT THE FINGER!
Most people on this blog need to GROW UP!
3:07 PM
"IT'S JUST MUSIC"
In reference the the person who wrote "It's just music." First of all, Rap is not music. Rap is group of rhyming words set a repetitious beat that is usually vulgar, offensive and totally worthless crap.
3:09 PM
I heard Scissorhands on with Carey this morning, and with Traber this afternoon. I just wonder, how he could say this kid hasn't done anything wrong? He made a mistake, I'll give him a pass.. But, the second time he's wearing me thin.
3:33 PM
ummm rap is music. your an idiot .
3:34 PM
ughh.... STUPID RAPPERS!
3:41 PM
"ummm rap is music. your an idiot."
Thanks for your input. However, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'm not an idiot screw you very much. I just think ANYONE can write a stupid poem about killing cops, gang banging women, pound on a beat for 3 minutes and then record it. Free Styling give me a break!!!
3:59 PM
How the hell did he get a "diploma" when his sorry ass can barely speak?
4:57 PM
Its amazing how how you can add one letter to the word rap and come up with CRAP
4:58 PM
send him on his way....
5:01 PM
Stoops should make Jarboe write an open letter of apology for making such a vulgar video and then make him cut off his dread locks as a condition for staying on the team. I bet he would choice to leave!
6:03 PM
I like how the OU fans turn on the kid. Its just him freestyling.
7:34 PM
Who's the white guy? I think Jarboe was taking some lyrics from him.
7:50 PM
Just wait. It's just a matter of time until he does something really stupid and really embarrasses OU.
Maybe take money from a booster?
8:04 PM
He sucks. He should practice his freestyling a little more. OR...practice his football...
10:54 PM
Maybe when he puts his best friend in a coma he can be a team captain......=D
1:18 AM
"I like how the OU fans turn on the kid. Its just him freestyling."
Free styling isn't the issue here. It's his choice of words. Why not just rap about how he thinks he'll do on the field or beating Texas. He just needs to grow up a little and use some common sense. I myself am not turning on him.
7:38 AM
Does this video, in any way, break the law?
Does this video, in any way violate any NCAA regulations?
You people should find something better to do than advocate running a kid out of town for posting a really bad rap on the internet. Before you all crucify Jarboe, lets not forget some past indiscretions of other athletes to put this in perspective.
Get off your high horses, his lame rap video hurt nothing.
9:23 AM
I hate the rap, though, I thought it was funny at the end. LMFAO
9:37 AM
I see nothing wrong, its much ado about nothing.
9:42 AM
How did this guy even graduate from High School? He can barely speak English. This should be more embarassing than the gun charge and the rap video. Nice Grill!!!
10:34 AM
I don't see what the big deal is, Coach Blake says it's "vulgar, offensive and totally worthless crap." Your right but have you listened to any rap lately? The kids lyrics aren't any different than any other rapper with a label.
And for everyone that wants to "send him packing", I remember a former OU COACH who once embarrassed the university, OU fans think of him as a football god now. I've been to almost every home game since I can remember and trust me, a few of you ADULT fans need to worry about yourselves embarrasing the university and lay off the 18 y/o KID.
11:17 AM
"I put her meat on my grill!"
11:41 AM
I just hope he can play ball...
12:29 PM
How did he even get into college in the first place? Intelligent? NOT!
1:11 PM
rap is music ..sure u can add peoms to a beat and call it rap..but the only question is...who will listen to it?
u can sing a song to a beat also, but who will listen to it?
coach blake is dumass!!
1:38 PM
U stay classy Oklahoma..
1:55 PM
What ever happened to freedom of speech
2:05 PM
I guess anti-interracial commentary isn't allowed in this blog.
2:19 PM
freedom doesn't mean freedom from consequences. you have the freedom to choose your direction in life; however, there are reprecussions. Reprecussions can be positive or negative depending on your original choice. So yes, you have freedom of choice but atleast be man enough to accept the reprecussions of such choice. Teach that.
2:53 PM
Doesn't matter anymore Josh is off the team.
3:04 PM
Wow! Getting kicked off the team for a freestyle? Where have we gone? It was stupid of him to allow someone to record it, but to kick the kid of the team? Your kidding me!
3:06 PM
Rap isn't music it's simply verbage with a beat. Takes real talent to pre record the beat and store it on a synthesizer and push a button every 2 seconds. And what's with the stupid record player crap.
3:07 PM
Let's remember that Josh carried a loaded weapon on school grounds during a track meet. Keep in mind he got out of the vehicle, started to walk away then came back to the car to get the gun. Now he's rapping about shooting people and putting them in a coma. Would you want your kids associated with a person like this? Would you hire him to run your business?
3:18 PM
Has anybody seen little Bonquisha? I believe she would love this as will anybody who ever dropped out of school in the 7th grade. While you're at it check out some of Maya's newer pomes. Maya's got to eat you know!
3:43 PM
"Coach Blake" and others like him don't understand anything beyond the safe wonderbread world of suburbia. It's cool to have opinions about music, but please just do a LITTLE bit of research on the subject before you go spouting off irrational statements about it. Freestyles and battle rhymes were, and still are used to express anger and frustration. It's so easy to judge a kid who you just don't understand. Honestly, he can't rhyme and it was a poor choice to post it on the internet. However, you need to ask yourself, if this was a white kid performing a heavy metal song about his anger, would he be persecuted like this? I seriously doubt it. I am an OU alumni and I think that kicking him off the team was harsh and unfair.
3:46 PM
I see jarboe
at OU no mo.
Stoops sent you packin
Cuz you coudn't stop yackin.
The sooners don't need ya
I guess we'll never see ya.
Maybe you'll catch some passes
from the U of dumb _________!
OR maybe you'll get real
and throw away your grill.
Bye Bye Josh
4:07 PM
coach blake- please spare us with all of your commentary, did your mother bust your butt for making all the coaching mistakes when you were @ ou?
come on now, remember how you felt when all the negative headlines were on you!!!!!
4:12 PM
more people need to record themselves rapping so they can see how retarded they look and sound. jarboe you're a punk, and you're undoubtedly gonna be somebody's prison punk if you keep acting like a fool.
5:31 PM
I see coach blake backed all the way up!
you need to remember where you came from, and stop trying to act like you haven't made some errors in life!
first step is to never humiliate any man (especially a young one)in public. he's probably gone from OU, but that doesn't mean that his life will end. Also, remember when god is with you, the whole world can be against you and it doesn't matter, because he is the one with the final say.
now maybe you need to go listen to some lyrics to some rap music and see what they say about people like you.
8:18 PM
He is a thug from Atlanta who was given a break as a first offender. Not too bright when you carry a loaded weapon on school grounds, then cry when you get caught, right after you get a free ride at OU.
then to go to school and rub the noses in the crap that you got away with in the first place.
Carrying a gun on School grounds is a felony. He NEVER should have been allowed to keep his ride.
To screw up once is bad enough, to then flip the bird to everyone who worked to keep your scholarship, that is beyond stupid.
The entitlement that these atheletes feel is just unreal.
He blew it, he deserves to go
Problem is now he comes BACK to ATL and will become our problem not yours
8:43 PM
Maybe he should try going to Texas
8:50 PM
OK...you send people out to find recruits for your football team, you come across a great athlete that may/may not qualify academically to participate at your school as would be expected by some non-athletic prospect. He gets involved with guns to a point where most school districts would expel the student. You look the other way, and now this video comes out? Is anyone surprised? Y'all should be outraged...some kid out there with a 25 on his ACT who contributes to his/her community is probably being denied the opportunity to attend college for financial reasons, but give this thug a free ride until he once again shows his true colors?? GET A CLUE!!!
8:59 PM
1. Typical OU fan approach -- just get the video off and all will be forgiven/forgotten (NOT).
2. This kid doesn't speak English--how did he graduate from high school?
3. There is no way he would pass a course, including basket weaving football player "specials". How many quarters until his grades forced him off the team (if computed honestly)?
4. What a shining example of OU football players.
5. $10 says he is jail bait before the decade is out.

I see a "Darwin Award" in his future. What an idiot! Just remember you can't spell crap without R.A.P.
10:01 PM
He needs a grill to cover those dracula looking teeth.
10:04 PM
I agree with the decision of OU officials to cut Jarboe from the team if this kind of stuff is what he would be putting into the minds of our children when he is asked to do public appearances.
10:35 PM
Don't forget it was a STOLEN loaded gun that his high school teacher observed him tucking into his waistband at the school. "Oops! I didn't realize I had a gun in my pants, teacher." I'm sure he paid full price for the gun and had no reason to suspect (he) stole it. No. Not at all.
11:59 PM
He's a worthless punk. Goodbye you illiterate animal loser Piece of SH**. Any other thugs that are un educatable goodbye to you too. I sure der be some folks who see nutin wrong wit dis video, WORD!
2:44 PM
I see abunch of ignorant racist losers on this Blog.Because rap is not your style of music and the kid dont look and act like you think he should look and act, you think its ok to call him animal, dummy and stupid. There was no crime or rule viloation here. Nothing was stolen, nobody hurt, no property damage, no drugs only bad music.!! He should have been told to shut up and play football. I hope he get on another more understanding program and come back and show you racist losers why he was one of the top recruits in the nation.
8:16 PM
BOOMER SOONER!!!
9:43 PM
Another poor choice by a player who seems to have made a string of them. I think the video says alot about the character of this player. When taken by itself I agree it is not enough to get the kid kicked off the team, but when taken with the earlier gun charges I can see the punishment as fair. I'm sure there was more things to consider than these two incidents in this case.
11:55 AM
The real question here is much larger than Mr. Jarboe, it is college coaches around the nation in d-1, why does bob stoops and gundy(prentice eliot) even go after these kids, they are trouble makers in high school, jarboe was kicked out and had to finish h.s. on line, I mean why, cause of money thats why!!! have to be number 1 so whether they are thugs or not they get the scholarship while more deserving kids stay home or go to lesser university's, shame on bob stoops and the college coaches of this nation, ever heard of morality and decency Bob!! another sign of the decay of society in the USA!! God help us!
6:24 PM
Well the video proves one thing...he is no music artist.
Seriously, since when have athletes been known for their views and/or musical talent?
Rap is rap...usually the topics and words are for shock value.
All I see is a guy expressing himself in sound, not very well at that.
If we are going to dis-associate ourselves from people because they don't believe and act as we do...then what are we doing here in America?
1:30 PM
i know josh real good...and some of u dont so dont say he needs to get kicked off.yeah it was rude but josh has been raping since so many years now..josh just graduated from high school...think about it hes young..and dont act like you never cursed before..also the words that he said should not have been harmful to any one..if you didnt her your name kalled out in the rap why be so scared and sofast to dismiss him..i think whoever sat down to listen to that and to tap that should be the one in trouble..they knew the rap was to harsh so why finish taping it..duh stupid..

I agree. It is silly to be up in arms about this. I'm sure I could say things that would shock anyone, but I do have many years of public speaking and performing experience.
He is young and with time he will hopefully learn to be more tactiful.
Josh, keep your nose clean man...you are on center stage now.
Now focus that creative spirit on your game and studies and everyone will praise you....it is that easy.
(sorry had to delete for editing)
11:26 AM
I never heard, he was in the same car as Loadholt when he was arrested. After the gun charge, then his run-in with loadholt, now this.. Good call, Coach Stoops!
BOOMER SOONER!!
Keep up the work, love the blog!
11:33 AM
What he had a gun? no way? That never happens in Oklahoma. Right?
12:03 PM
They really kicked him out? Unbelievable! There has to be more to this story. Maybe he was getting into more trouble behind the scenes or lazy or something. If he's kicked out due to the video, then it was strictly due to stereotyping. A young black man says "gun" and white people start running. Let it be a white kid doing Manson or Black Sabath, noone would have even cared. Come on, get serious...This is harming noone! They saw his grill, his dreads, his skin color, and heard his wack rap and ran for the hills. Im disappointed in Coach Bob Stoops. The only thing this young man needed was direction, and he wasnt willing to offer that. None of my children will attend Oklahoma!
