Last Tuesday, the real reason anyone showed up to a San Diego Padres home game against the Atlanta Braves was to watch a living hip-hop legend briefly attempt to play sports. Since you're probably not following the Padres, who are dead last in the NL West with 41 losses this season, here's what happened: Things didn't go so great for Snoop Dogg—a rapper known better for his smooth flow than any real athletic ability—as he threw the first pitch at the game.

Juuuuuuuust a bit outside. Check out @SnoopDogg's first pitch attempt in San Diego. https://t.co/1GJ3V1F5NJ — FOX Sports: Braves (@FOXSportsBraves) June 8, 2016

Assuming he was aiming for the guy filming to the right of the plate, this was a pretty great pitch.

After the internet and the local Fox Sports affiliate started talking shit about the throw, Snoop Dogg responded to explain why things went so poorly:

"The Padres are what, 26-40? You can't expect me to go out there and groove in a sweet Snoop sinker when you're 14 games out of first place; that would make for some wack proportionality. I'm a performer, and I performed in precisely the manner that the moment required. Everybody laughed, which is the appropriate response when your team is a joke."

Is this a better or worse hip-hop feud than Jay Z vs a nobody conservative pundit, B.o.B. vs. Neil DeGrasse Tyson or Ghostface Killah vs. Martin Shkreli?
