The Knicks are all bad, man. No, not in a 2014 was a bad year for hip hop way, but in a we really haven't won a game since 2014 way. Matter of fact, the Knickerbockers are playing so poorly that they packed the bags of NYC fan-favorites J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert and sent them packing to Cleveland to help bring a ring to LeBron, or maybe to help Kid Cudi record an album, or maybe even both.
Now, this Knicks losing streak is more like a New York losing streak—the Knicks, Giants and Jets have only won six games combined since December 1st. But with the NFL season over, our focus is solely on the blue and orange; and for the Knicks, this is really more than a 15-game losing streak. Take a look at how they've have done this season: lost 15 in a row, lost 25 of 26, lost 27 of 29, lost 34 of 37, lost 35 of 40. (YUUGH!)
So here we are, a full month since the last Knicks win. To put things into perspective about how long it’s been since they caught a W, we put together a timeline of notable hip hop events that happened since their last win. A lot happens in a month. Life comes at you fast, Knicks fans.

Yep. This happened. After announcing his decision to put down the yayo and get back into the gym, RiFF RaFF declared his intention to become a WWE wrestler and began documenting his progress on his Instagram page. Obviously trolling us all, right? Well, then Hulk Hogan made a video announcing that his 24-inch pythons will be linking up with the Neon Icon as a tag team duo in the WWE. The Hulkster’s video all but confirmed that RiFF RaFF-as-a-wrestler is actually a real thing (for those that think wrestling is a real thing). If you think this story is crazy, rest assured, you aren't alone.
Can't wait to start training with my new partner @JODYHiGHROLLER !!! Hulkamania is going NEON brother! HH
