And the hits just keep on coming. Similar to his dapping up of Act Proof on air, John Buccigross shouts out the author of Heat Writer II. Lemme find out he visits this site on the regular…
Halo x Sportscenter (Video)
Hip Hop, Video
is just N.C rapper he shouts out but still cool
Man IWWMG is about to blow up!!!!!! Never seen anything like this! Congrats to 9th, his artists, and his label!
these are mad corny
Boom bap for the radio is an amazing beat man. Halo is like J cole to me , just a mellow laid back type of vibe but them Act Proof cats are crazy. Ive been playin they shit like crazy since it came out.
yeah. im so confused. i have no ideas what these videos are
wtf is this?
^^^^^^ LOL at all the people that are confused. y’all niggas are dumb.
“What Halo is to “Boom Bap for the Radio”, Antonio McDyess is to the Spurs” Buccigross is shouting out a the author/track from that Heat Writer II mixtape. Smarten up folks.
Dude is probably just a 9th Wonder fan or from NC.
lol this shits dope
“Lemme find out he visits this site on the regular…”
this site or DJBooth.Net
Im goin with the latter !!
what the hell? john buccigross is retarded… 95% of the audience has no idea who act proof, 9th wonder, or halo is. hes either reading off of a teleprompter or being a douchebag and trying to show off his hip hop knowledge
Who in their right mind would put that on a teleprompter for someone to say? Nobody. He did it on his own volition. And why would he be a douchebag for shouting it out.
^^^^^^^^^^^^ WTF?! Naw homie he’s not reading that off a teleprompter and he’s def. not being a douchebag. He just letting people know he knows his hip hop just as good as he knows his sports. I wouldn’t saying that being a douchbag but whatever kid.
my post was @PRalines
PRalines what the fuck are you talking about? Being a douchebag?
No he’s putting on some good rap acts for the hip hop fans that watch sportscenter.
Are you trying to say that everyone who watches sportscenter listens to rock or pop or some shit?
I think @PRalines wins the award for dumbest post in this c-section
95% LMAO get the fuck outta here with that bullshit
i knew i would catch flak for that comment
@CocaineBlunts perhaps you could enlighten me… tell me how many young, white, upper-middle class males who were watching this understood the reference?
@ PRalines uuuh young white upper/ middle class males that know their hip hop doesnt matter the race or what class if they know about their hip hop they know what hes saying, other people who dont know & curious will eventually google search it & find out what he was saying or people can just sit there thinking oh hes just tryna come up with some basketball slang
WHY SO SERIOUS MY FRIEND? IS SPORTSCENTER NOT ENTERTAINING ENOUGH FOR YOU?
Yea really you’re being cynical as fuck.
And what, black people don’t watch Sportscenter? I know I do…
@PRalines Not only white, upper-middle class males watch ESPN dumbass. 95 percent is ridiculous. And you really never know who is a Hip-Hop fan. @JAyP co-fucking-sign
Im black and I watch sportscenter all the time bro.
PRalines dont get mad cuz John Buccigross knows more about hiphop than you do.
Why would anyone care if white upper class people know who Act Proof is ? They got Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift , they can go bump that shit… Most of my friends dont know who Act Proof is either but thats ok with me , if people dont know or like the same artists I do why would I give a fuck ?
i’m not one bit mad, bro, just speaking my mind. i’m pretty sure thats what the c-section is for.
and yeah, i get that black people watch sportcenter. probably more than i know. i understand that. but espn’s primary audience IS more affluent white males. that’s all i was saying. and how does my comment make me know any less about hip hop than anyone else? no hostility intended man.
@PRalines are you white? and Honestly espn’s primary audience isn’t more affluent white males…maybe it is when there talking about Nascar but not basketball/football I know more black people than white people that watch espn but whatever bro your entitled to your own opinion even if it is dumb as fuck
the reason i called him a douchebag is because he knows what his primary audience is, and it seemed to me like he was trying to advertise to everybody that he knows more about hip hop than most people watching.
Something thats crazy to me is that people like 9th wonder , lil brother and Act proof make really good music right. I have alot of black friends from every where and 90% of them have never heard of 9th wonder. Thats crazy to me but anyway @ Pralines it sounds like your saying that John shouldnt have shouted then out if people dont know how they are. Ive played Act proof music in a house full of people that have know idea who they are but I dont care. So I dont think he cares if people know who those artists are , he just sayin it for people who know or people who wanna find out. I think white people should know that black people dont give a fuck what you think and dont care if you understand our culture or not. If you do thats cool but if you dont or if you gotta problem , so what.
I think commercial artists and artists who are in the same lane as Jamla and Duckdown should work together more so everybody who listens to hip hop can get a taste of some good music. Oh yeah I know I make alot of grammar errors in my shit but hey , you know what im sayin. Peace
@martymcfly co sign my brotha
It wasnt necessary to call him a douchebag cause honestly he wasn’t being one. so when Tony Reali shouts out Lil Wayne or Wiz Khalifia is he a douchebag? A lot broadcasters on ESPN shout out Rappers all the time and its never douchy in anyway but whatever kid
no, man, i think we’re on a different page here. its funny you cosign w/ marty because i completely agreed with him too. what im trying to say is wiz and lil wayne are both very well known and recognizable artists, so its different because when tony shouts them out, people know what he is talking about. Act Proof, 9th, and Halo are AMAZING, but the problem is nobody knows about them outside of the hip hop world (and even then they are still relatively unknown, because of all the trash that is considered “hip hop” these days). since nobody knows about them, i felt like he was just trying to advertise to everybody watching that he knows more about hip hop than everybody else watching, which seemed douchy to me. im trying to explain this as well as i can because honestly i feel like i have a valid point, and yeah i was a little cynical when i called him out, but there WAS reasoning behind that. i also get that people are going to disagree with that, and im fine with it, i just want you to know where im coming from.
get what im saying now? im trying to explain what im thinking clearly as possible…

@ Pralines , I see what your sayin but whats crazy to me is that if im talkin to my friends about rap and I say that someone like Evidence or Act proof is Dope. Sometimes people act like im dissing the music they listen too , they be on some fuck those niggas cause nobody knows who they are and them fools cant fuck with Ross. When I dont even care if people know them or not and im not comparing them to Ross or Lil Wayne in the 1st place. I just be putting them up on a different form of music. Its just people have this closed mind like if the mainstream or the in crowd dont know who a artist is then its wrong if people mention them. I know about 9th wonder etc because I do know more about hip hop then the average listener but im not tryin to act like im all that but if you only know rappers from the radio , you missing out on some dope shit. Big Sean and J cole is cool but I want Act proof and Jay electronica to blow up too so if I say they names in a commercial rap listening crowd then so be it.
but if the primary audience “doesn’t know real hip hop”, like you said, then they aren’t going to get what he’s saying anyways, and won’t know that it’s even hip hop related, thus he can’t be a douchebag for “showing off he knows more hip hop” than the primary audience…you feel me? This, in turn, only is a shoutout to the real hip hop heads who know Halo/9th/Actual. It was a way for Buccigross to let THOSE people know, that he knows what’s up. that’s what i think. And because he did that, i like him a lot more haha
Damn you guys need to shut the fuck up. Who gives a shit about who watches ESPN? He obviously knows a little about hip hop and that’s all this post is about. R u guys really that fuckin bored? Go volunteer somewhere or some shit. Smh…idiots.
white ppl watch espn. black ppl watch espn. espn announcers listen to rap. espn announcers reference things they like because otherwise doing 7 straight hours of the same highlights gets boring. everyone get it? jesus.
Boom Back for the Radio… !!
