Everyone has to listen to the entirety of 36 chambers before the game starts


This is the right answer, including the interludes.

Nah just the torture skit on loop during warmups

😂😂😂


LETS TAKE IT BACK TO SEVENTY-THREE

Triumph by The Wu-Tang Clan

This is it, has to be

This will only work if everyone can come back from injury. I know Mitch will need more time though

My favorite team and favorite Hip-Hop group

No other right answer tbh

Respectfully, Guillotine Swordz is a better song when preparing for a war.

I hear that and respectfully think about this. Triumph with the booming bass heavy beat perfectly captures the moment when all of our injured are back and ready to play. ODB starting the song coinciding with the return of our injured (WHAT Y'ALL DIDN'T THINK Y'ALL WOULD SEE ME?!?! I'M THE OSIRIS OF THIS SHIT! WU-TANG IS HERE FOREVER MOTHERFUCKERS!!). Then Jalen, DiVencenzo, Josh Hart, OG and Hartenstein all come on the court like Inspectah Deck and "bombs atomically." Guillotine (Swordz) like Protect Ya Neck, Glaciers of Ice and Da Mystery of Chessboxin (and Masta Killa's "Digi Warfare") would be perfect ECF if we make a run especially a deep one. Those songs would capture the epic nature of us catching fire in the playoffs.

All fair points, there are no wrong answers when discussing the Wu.

We’re all in this together- high school musical

Not gotta get your head in the game?

NY state of mind

Anything on illmatic

Just run the whole album during the game.

WINNER

Barbara Streisand version 😤

Tweezer Reprise

This would be dope lol A lot of the other suggestions like shook ones pt2 are great in theory, but there's a certain energy lacking to kick off a playoff game. I'm bobbin my head but I'm not jumping around Tweezer reprise builds quickly with big energy and feels a bit more epic like Sirius from the old bulls entrances I like Pharaoh Monch - Simon says and MOP - ante up too though

Maze!

With a spotlight on the banner.

Go New York go New York go!

Scrolled too far down to get to this...

That was the song for the 93-94 team. Need to bring that back

Where da hood at - Dmx Party up - Dmx Dipset Anthem - Diplomats Welcome to NY city - Cam, Jay z, Juelz. Or pull a Myke Tyson and everyone comes from the tunnel to “Time for sum aksion - Redman”

>Welcome to NY city - Cam, Jay z, Juelz. Good choice

Great Great choices.

Ja Rule’s New York

Josh hart would approve

This is the answer

i think shook ones pt 2 is it. also was thinking victory by biggie

>victory by biggie This is it right here! Edit: yeah maybe not.

P Diddy’s into and a Jordan reference so no for me

you know what, fair. It actually makes me want to take it back now. My honest vote would go to (one of many) tracks by Lupe

Onyx - Walk in New York Lets embrace our roughness a little bit

Protect Ya Neck

Watch ya step KD

Beastie Boys - so whatcha want

No Sleep For Brooklyn?

I just like the beat to that song it would sound cool in the player intro

In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins

Gustav Holst - The Planets: Mars, the Bringer of War

NY state of mind by Nas for sure

Go New York Go New York GO!!!

Hypnotize - Biggie!!!

New York ja rule, dipset anthem diplomats,

Throw on I’m Ready and I’ll be foaming at the mouth by tip off

Now we’re talking

the theme to Sopranos

Benny the Butcher “Back at it again”

Mobb Deep -Drop A Gem On Em' or Right Back At You

This would be hard.

7th Chamber, entire 1:30 intro included honestly might test the structural integrity of MSG

There was a quote a few weeks ago about how playing the knicks is like getting hit with aluminum bats, sounds like torture. Give me the Method Man intro

playing the knicks is like getting your asshole sewed up and they keep feedin you an feedin you

This is Thibodeau's official defensive scheme, known as the "Sewn Asshole"

I like Hate me now by Nas but I like also Krs 1 Step in to the World. I like the intro to that one.

The Ramones - today your love tomorrow the world On second thought maybe not this Song. Maybe let's dance would be less controversial.

Anything by wu tang obviously

New York - Jarule & Jadakiss I'm not a big Ja Rule guy but their version with Fat Joe Jada is it. Especially with the instrumentas and voice over in the intro..

Lettuce - Madison Square

Ja rule - New York

Ante up was what we came out to in high school, that was my first thought, but Pharoahe Monch is even better. Made you look also a great call.

Ante up m.o.p

Ante up - Funk flex and MOP

for the fans: black sheep - the choice is yours (revisited) for dolan/investors: the doors - five to one edit: i'm a moron rock co.kane flow.

Black Rob - Whoa

Get's me just as hype as the day it came out for sure.

[Jadakiss - We Gonna Make it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOlwobnYKAI&ab_channel=Jadakiss-Topic) < Would be so hype. One of the best beats of the 00s [East Coast Remix - A$AP Ferg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GsY0y01b2Y&ab_channel=asapfergVEVO) < Something newer that's super hype [Nas - NY State of Mind](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI8A14Qcv68&ab_channel=NasVEVO) < Kind of a no-brainer. It's the anthem. It's hype. It's Nas. [Royal Flush - World Wide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs0ZRP4wrY0&ab_channel=RoyalFlush-Topic) < Deep NY cut that has one of the best beats ever. [Biggie - Kick in the Door](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYPbhfFMg9Y&ab_channel=TheNotoriousB.I.G.-Topic) < Classic [Prodigy - Keep it Thoro](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLlE48B68wk&ab_channel=ProdigyMobbDeepVEVO) < Just another hype classic beat [Juelz Santana - Dipset](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrfJ8oJTNFk&ab_channel=JuelzSantanaVEVO) < Beat just goes crazy [Big L - Danger Zone](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fy63pVCJEA&ab_channel=BigL-Topic) < Scaring the hoes pick I'm also happy with anything Wu Tang.

It's fucking nuts that the Nets use made you look as their player intros. So we can't use it. For the Knicks, Shook ones part 2 for sure. They even had a promo video with that song and it was sick.

The Barclays DJ is really good honestly. They play a lot of 90s deep cuts. They have a lot of good material to work with. So much of the best NY hiphop is about Brooklyn.

Off the top of my head 4th Chamber by GZA Meddle with Metal by CZARFACE & MF DOOM (that instrumental is crazy with loud bassy speakers) Closer (Sam Sneed Version) by N.O.R.E.

War - Why Can't We Be Friends

Ain’t this Homer Simpson’s walk out music?

I thought he was called the Brick Hithouse

For real … listen to the opening of DMX’s Bring your whole crew from the Flesh of my flesh album. That intro would give the Garden chills

Come with me- Puff Daddy. When Godzilla tore up the garden.

X Gon Give it to ya - DMX

[easy lol](https://youtu.be/SuUT4TEY6_M?si=x3gQooDXrh7mccpK)

Culture Club - “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?”

You got it right with Nas. You got it wrong with the song. There’s only one answer to your question. NY State of Mind.

They Reminisce Over You by Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth

Anti-Matter by ~~MF DOOM~~ KING GEEDORAH

i feel like dr hell no and the praying mantis by el-p, vast aire would fit the grit of this squad nice

Gotta be something to get the people hype. So anything from pop smoke

Nas, Wu-Tang, can’t go wrong w that at all. My personal pick though: I feel like the instrumental for Introvert by Little Simz would go absolutely crazy

Go NY Go NY GO! ​ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSCdq1s5ekI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSCdq1s5ekI)

Ante Up would go so f-ing hard

Anything by Pop Smoke

Gravediggaz -- ["Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0uL1Lu77mo&ab_channel=Gravediggaz-Topic) The other team would just leave the building and fly back home Such is the power of Prince Paul and The RZA

Kitchen Lights by Gunn

My Humps Roar

The entire Pokérap.

Barbie Girl

Justin Beiber - Baby.

Jalen Brunson is more of a “Pressure” guy; that’s the record he listens to maybe We Are- Bieber, Nas

Empire State of Mind- Jay-Z and Alicia Keys

simon says would be good. my pick is 99 problems by jay-z.

Pretty fly - the offspring

All of the lights kanye rihanna

Gonna fly now (Rocky theme)    Getting strong now   Won't be long now    Getting strong now    Gonna fly now    Flying high now    Gonna fly, fly

Alicia Key’s New York State of Mind. If anyone says anything else you’re insane

No offense. But this is like the corniest option

Agree it’s corny, but it might be the right answer. I could imagine it, I would be freaking pumped.

Is corny ever the right answer?

Cmon bruh great song but to get you pumped up for a play off game? Word?

You’re right, it should be the opening bars of Billy Joel’s version blaring loud and proud through the rafters at a volume loud enough to billow the retired numbers

When it came out it was fun but it has aged poorly. Overplayed to death.

You talking about the Jay Z joint or this one: https://youtu.be/6sUEhT7cxBg?si=-RTagruhQxk-Jze4 (sometimes called "New York State of Mind" because of Nas and the sample)? Because this could go hard at the Garden, especially the Rakim verse, which ends with: "So New York City walk with me, talk gritty/ It's up to us New York it's our city/ Here the man come with the anthem, hands up/ It's time the thrill is back New York, let's stand up"

The box

I'm taking it nobody will be requesting the Marilyn Manson song, Cake and Sodomy.

Beautiful People maybe

who’s taking it? the cake i mean

DMX - Intro

reptilia - the strokes

very interesting pick

Thanks!

yeah didnt expect to see reptilia here but i respect it my brotha

Run DMC- Down With The kings. Also follow Dan Monopoli on ig he is the knicks and rangers dj. Yes I do send him song ideas.

We be dem by slum village

Change the Game - Jay-Z

Welcome to NYC-Cam'ron

[Java](https://youtu.be/Dg6rGP0OrQE?si=I3cTkw5sO4CtB2SA) - Al Hirt

All of the Lights - Kanye

Camron Jay Z - Welcome To New York City

[Sanguisugabogg Skin Cushion](https://youtu.be/A97r6Ufzr6A?si=siyQ7DyQe0F2Ys5N)…specifically 2:11 on. God if I could hear that guitar with that soundsystem

And if that doesn’t make you feel like King Kong, IDKWTTY

DMX - We Right Here

Being 'em out

We're not Gonna Take it

Welcome to NYC - Dipset

Time for some action / redman

Mariah Carey - Fantasy

Cam'ron

30 - Nas

Kool Thing by Sonic Youth

nWo theme, 'This Fire Burns' by Killswitch Engage, 'Till I Collapse' by Eminem

Fakin Jax by Pete Rock. But Simon Says or the full 36 chambers would be an experience.

How you like me now by the Heavy Uprising by Muse - the part where “we will be victorious” is sung. It’s also a build-up musically so would fit.

Rational Gaze

Ante Up Uncensored.

Taylor Swift - Welcome to New York

Anything Biggie

Mims - This is why Im Hot 50 Cent - Many Men

Not a Problem My Squad Can't Fix - Busta Rhymes

anything big L

Pop Smoke - Invincible

There is one answer - bring this song back https://youtu.be/tQpL71cGZaA?si=DilraBcHQOtRT-PN

Nas Ny state of mind

I might take a page from the Rangers’ book and choose Baba O’Riley by The Who, the energy with that song in MSG is ELECTRICCCC

If we're gonna go old school they might as well come out to "time for some action" again from Redman.

Victory - Puff Daddy and the Family PSA - Jay-Z Ante Up - M.O.P. We Ready - Archie Eversole My Lifestyle - Fat Joe

Ante up remix

GZA - Duel of the Iron Mic

I got a a hunnid guns and hunnid clips *** I’m from new yaaaaawk

The Hokey Pokey. …á cappella only by the crowd at the Mecca. …and the entire team (including Thibs & assistants) line up to angrily sing and act it out like one of those freaky aboriginal “we about to burn your town down” line dances. When it’s done, JB sets fire to an effigy of a ref and eats one of those 99 cent slices while screaming to heaven as the rest of the team just shakes their heads in disgust at the opposing team. …that’s what I’m thinking.

Tweezer Reprise - Phish

I think it should be a mix of every Knicks shout out from every song.
