Watch LeBron James Cover "Back That Azz Up" at Miami Heat Karaoke Party

It's the kid, King James! We here at Crossfade have occasionally shouted out LeBron's skills as a part-time rapper. 'Cause whether poppin' a million mollies like Trinidad or freestylin' over "Niggas in Paris," homie's flow has always been solidly adequate. And now, with a cover of "Back That Azz Up"...

It's the kid, King James!

We here at Crossfade have occasionally shouted out LeBron's skills as a part-time rapper.

'Cause whether poppin' a million mollies like Trinidad or freestylin' over "Niggas in Paris," homie's flow has always been solidly adequate.

And now, with a cover of "Back That Azz Up" at Shane Battier's Battioke karaoke bash, the King has again proved his mic skills don't suck. (Also, props to 'Bron for doing the radio-unfriendly version and clearly enunciating "motherfucker," "pussy," etc.)

Check the cut for the vid.
