The likes of Damian Lillard and Shaquille O'Neal have proven that some sports stars could make the transition into the rap game with a level of credibility. Free agent wide receiver Antonio Brown, however, proved this week that he is not in their category.

Not even close.

Brown, who is fresh off a workout with the New Orleans Saints, dropped his debut single "Whole Lotta Money" on music streaming services Friday night. Listen if you dare.

You can hear the song below via YouTube, though there is absolutely no reason to do so. Brown's rap career appears to be heading in the same direction as his football career given his skill with the mic.

The beat sounds nice enough, but AB's voice and lyricism are about as basic and bland as they get. Not even the diehard fans in the YouTube comment section are that hyped up about Mr. Big Chest's first musical venture:

The final verdict on Brown's song is that the beat is pretty catchy, but that the dude had better not quit his day job. When it comes to the rhythm and flow, he just doesn't have it.
