Looks like Jay-Z is officially taking a side in the LeBron James vs. DeShawn Stevenson feud. The rap star has actually recorded a diss track, dubbed 'Blow the Whistle,' directed at Stevenson in response to a comment that James is "overrated." In case you missed it, the feud between the Cleveland Cavaliers starting forward was sparked when Wizards forward Stevenson called James "overrated." James was quoted as saying that commenting on Stevenson's remark would be like "Jay-Z responding to Soulja Boy." Unfortunately for Stevenson, Jay-Z decided he wasn't too big to respond to the Washington forward. Hova defends his buddy James with the line, "Who the f---'s overrated? If anything they underpaid him." Stevenson doesn't seem to be phased by the track, although he's a little peeved that it was debuted at D.C. hot spot Love. "Everybody on our team, we're boycotting Love," Stevenson said in an interview. "We're not going no more. But I appreciate Jay-Z for giving me the shout out."

I am 1st off from Cleveland, so King James, is an amazing Ball player. Don't let them bother you King James, they hated on MJ too. 2nd I am probably the only female fan of Hova, so anything he says I'm gonna agree with so. WHen you have good friend like they are, you have to protect them, have their backs, etc. Do your thang Jay. Love Ya Karen Walker Charlotte NC

first off im from washington. I love jay-Z and hate soulja boy. However I like Stevenson and dont like LeBron. Lebron wants to Jordan but cant shoot from the outside, cant hit free throws, and cant really defend. I dont mind the trash talking its good. When I was at game four I lit him up all game. The league will cheat for lebron for ratings but its all good. The wizards are a better team and Jay-Z is too great of a rapper to be in this stuff. Stevenson didnt diss him so why say something back? Go Wizards!!!
