Lastings' latest bad rap

Foul mouth strikes out

Lastings Milledge's rap has gone from bad to worse.

Milledge, who ticked off Met teammates last season with his on and off-the-field antics, has taken poor judgment to a new level, performing on a rap song that would make Don Imus blush.

The rappin' right fielder uses the N-word and bitch and also says "ho" in a song featured on his new record label's Web site.

Milledge, performing on souljaboirecords.com, raps about "rich (N word)," "wealthy (N word)," a "top-notch ho" and having "a different bitch for every night" on the sexually explicit song "Bend Ya Knees."

Milledge, the Mets' 22-year-old phenom playing at Triple-A New Orleans, is the CEO of Soul-ja Boi records, a Florida-based label. He performs on the Web site with rapper Manny D, a childhood friend who is signed to the label.

"He's lost his mind," said City Councilman Leroy Comrie (D-Queens), who sponsored the Council's resolution that condemned use of the N word. "I don't understand how he could, in the spirit of Jackie Robinson, put out music that's so vile, using . . . some of the worst words in music."

In addition to his choice of language, Milledge's timing is also awful, as the song comes on the heels of the firing of WFAN morning host Imus, who used the words "nappy-headed ho's" to describe the Rutgers women's basketball team.

Comrie said he played the song for two female interns who were "horrified" by Milledge's words. Milledge is in Port St.Lucie to rehab an injury. Comrie said the Mets need to help him rehab his image as well.

"He needs to be taken in a room by the Mets staff and be made sure he understands that's not the position of a major league athlete or a black male in society," Comrie added. "That's not how he wants his mother or sister treated. It's just ridiculous."

In a statement last night, the Mets distanced themselves from Milledge's music project: "We disapprove of the content, language and message of this recording, which does not represent the views of the New York Mets."

Reached by the Daily News yesterday, Milledge said he didn't want to comment on his music career during the baseball season and would not confirm it's his voice on the Web site. But Manny D did confirm to The News that it's Milledge's voice.

"That's the only song he would be on that's on the album," Manny D said. "He is not trying to get all into rapping because he has to concentrate on baseball. That's his No. 1 priority."

The album is expected to be released in August, Manny D said.

"Do I feel like he should watch what he says because he's in the public eye? Yeah, but everything he's doing is positive," Manny D said. "He's not out there shooting people or shooting up dope. How can you fault somebody for something they say?"

One Mets player, speaking anonymously before last night's game at Shea, wasn't surprised by Milledge's lyrics. "Language like that in a rap song? Shocking!" the player said sarcastically.

Milledge was expelled from Northside Christian School in 2003 for having sex with a 15-year-old girlfriend and agreed to enroll in a juvenile arbitration program to avoid prosecution. Soon after the Mets drafted Milledge in 2003, the Daily News reported that he had been accused of having consensual sex with 12 and 13-year-old girls as well, which led to his expulsion from school.

Milledge made his big-league debut last May and immediately rubbed some teammates the wrong way by showing up late and high-fiving fans down the right field line after hitting a home run. Milledge, who hit .241 with four homers in 166 at-bats last season, came to spring training last March with a more mature approach, suggesting that he got a bad rap last season. Now he's just producing bad rap.

"I don't know what kind of fan base he's trying to attract by denigrating women," Comrie said. "He needs some sensitivity training."

Milledge, who said rehab of the sprained ligament in his right foot was "going good," assured Mets fans he won't let hip-hop distract him from his day job.

"I'm only talking about baseball right now, I just want to rehab and get back (to New York)," Milledge said. "This is only something for the offseason."

Now he has the media against him. He's done in NY.

He is gonna fall victim to Wilpon's clean image policy.

What a shame, I thought he was gonna be a good one. It will be a miracle if they keep him.

obviously not a smart move on his part.. but no1 fu**ing made these clowns listen to his music so they should stfu and quit instigating. hes not the first male athlete to rap (artest, ai, shaq, etcetc). its not like he came on live tv or radio and was droppin n bombs n sayin ho.. its a record label, get off his d*ck and worry about what he does on the field. these loser reporters have nothing better to report than this? theres a reason there are like 9999 genres of music, if you dont wanna hear n****, ho, etcetc, dont listen to rap, its pretty simple. This Ian Begley is really needs to consider a new job if he really was desperate enough to go on some website to listen to an mlb player rap (when he obviously is against rap), just so he had something to report the next day

Artest, Shaq and AI are all established.

Milledge is a nobody right now. I think trading Milledge is a good thing for the Mets, he has really high value right now and you can probably get a top of the rotation pitcher for him. You have Gomez and Martinez coming up soon.

A's need OF, Mets need a SP.

or....

A's need Milledge, Mets need Harden

Seems like a perfect trade, even though Harden is always injured. Id probably pull the trigger on this deal...

[DocZaius]

Harden is already on the DL.

No way I deal for another Mark Prior / Kerry Wood

What if he is ever healthy? He could be one of the best pitchers in the league.

Maybe he just needs a change of scenery.

A's would probably need some minor league filler to finish off a deal like that, but would be interesting to say the least... we sure could use an OF.

I'd make that trade in a heartbeat. Milledge is another Milton Bradley waiting to happen. Also with the surplus of outfield prospects the Mets have, there's no real need for him in the future. Harden, despite his injuries, is a risk worth taking.

Yeah ok, change of scenery will affect someone who has always been injured his career.

No thanks, keep Thrilledge.
