Rapper Lil B, The BasedGod blessed the Capitals before their Game Six win over the Penguins

California based rapper, Lil B, has a reputation for cursing and blessing various sports teams around the globe. He earned this reputation by first putting a curse on Maryland native Kevin Durant in 2011, who did not win an NBA Championship until the curse was rescinded when Durant joined Lil B’s favored Golden State Warriors.

Before the Caps and Penguins met in Game Six, Twitter user Travis Tuthill (@tuthill_travis) tweeted both Lil B and UMBC Athletics (famous for becoming the first #16 seed in the NCAA tournament to dethrone a #1 seed) asking for the Capitals to be blessed.

Both accounts agreed to the blessing.

As both an alumus of UMBC (University of Maryland Baltimore County) and a former member of the school’s Student Events Board, I beamed with pride when I heard that Snoop Dogg would be performing at this year’s Quadmania. Quadmania, which is a year-end festival meant to rally the university’s students before finals, has hosted acts such as N.E.R.D., Kanye West, Taking Back Sunday, My Chemical Romance, and All American Rejects in years past. Lo and behold, when my friends started posting their pictures on Facebook from the show Friday night, my jaw dropped to the floor when I saw Snoop rocking the red and wearing an Ovechkin jersey. How cool is that? Below the fold, check out a few more professional pics from friend-of-the-blog Andy Hsu.
