    How soon before you work some of his music into one of your highlight packages? Opening night?

    Curious if you were raised by your parents listening to Jazz or Soul or R&B music, this is definitely gateway music towards hip hop.
    My mom raised me on both, dad raised me on classic rock and classical music.
    To throw a blatant statement like out there like that is kinda sad. What you hear in commercials and on the radio is not quality hip hop/rap. There is amazing stuff out there, trust me. Hate when people say things like this. I would never sit down and listen to country music, but if I dig into my library I would find some good stuff like Cash.

    I actually took the time to listen to that. Yes, the whole thing. I think it's fair to say that it's probably the worst attempt at a hip-hop song to which I've ever chosen to listen. At least at the very end they said "That was silly," so they clearly recognized that they have no skills.

    Hayward is a spiritual lyrical miracle.

    Damian Lillard the kind of rapper your "down with it" youth group leader recommends you listen to at bible study.

    Some of the media embedding is a little wonky.

    Ha! He wishes. You know when I look back on stuff I cut, I always see things I would fix, then I have to remind myself I'm cutting that stuff DURING the game. Stopping to do replays, highlight packages, roll other elements like scenics of the cities we are in and other shit. Lucky to be able to squeeze something that's at least airable! Jealous of those guys that edit things post when they have all the time to analyze every edit.

    Actually I played jazz for many years. My statement was over the top, but mostly true regarding rap anyway. Hip hop actually isn't too bad. I definitely don't like the direction music has trended for the past 10-15 years though.

    I can respect that. I actually attribute hip hop is what really made me a jazz fan more than my dad did. Early 90s groups like A Tribe Called Quest sampled tons of old classic jazz artists like Grover Washington Jr., Cal Tjader, Roy Ayers and many others in the music. Used to DJ back then and would mix back and forth between the originals and the hip hop version. The Roots, Slum Village, Common, De La Soul and many other groups have a very strong Jazz foundation. Doesn't mean there isn't TONS of shit out there, but not everything from that world sucks.

    Sampling is part of what I don't like. It feels like cheating to me. These guys need to come up with their own melodies and beats rather than stealing others'.
