The song has a cool and hip beat with a catchy line chorus "If ballin' is what you love, what you want, what you need and if rap is what you eat, what you sleep, what you breathe than Dunkadelic TV is where you need to be."
Vaughan also states, "June is the perfect month for rappers to release songs for the Summer. I hope to see more songs dedicted to the hoops and hip-hop culture in the future."
There was also a breakdance performance by local break dancers Raw Ned & Nitrus. A special graffiti art canvas piece by local artists Butchie Mears was also unveiled. The art piece was dedicated to the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of African American History and Culture.
The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers 4 NBA Championships in 1984, 1985 and 2008, 2009 are the 4 bookend years that connect the 25-year history of The "Dunkadelic-Era" In America, 1984-2009.
Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, along with Michael Jordan were ushering a new era in 1984 that has evolved into a world-wide spectacle that is now dominated by a group of players that have grown-up entirely on the hoops and hip-hop culture in America. Now that's Dunkadelic!
