I bump that shit all day whether it’s tunechi, meek, JZ.but you call what I do to survive, fake? Fuck that. ‘Crank that’ came out in ‘07 you had a hell of a year. For a company that tries so hard to be on the cutting edge, marrying WWE and rap always seemed like a no-brainer. Terms like “woke,” “ Stan,” and pretty much anything we read on the internet ad nauseam were birthed in rap verses. The genre surpassed Rock as the dominant music in 2018, a title it’s hard to see it relinquishing any time soon. Drake and Cardi B do Super Bowl commercials, Kendrick Lamar has a Pulitzer prize, and Snoop Dogg is best friends with Martha Stewart for Pete’s sake, your sake, or anyone else’s. Hip-Hop’s pop culture dominance is unarguable.
Then again, what else could we possibly expect from a company run by a man who didn’t know Scarface was a thing ? WWE ignored the shifting pop culture landscape beneath their feet. Most of the theme music for PPVs were alt-rock or Nu Metal better left in the late ’90s. By that point in his career, Flo’s records were more appropriate for Top 40 than something a Hip-Hop DJ would spin.īut persist they did, and in an attempt to be everything to everyone, we got half-hearted endeavors. Yeah, they dabbled in Hip-Hop every now and then, but most of this dabbling consisted of multiple Flo-Rida appearances. It took a while, but maybe, thanks in part to Bad Bunny, WWE finally realized if there’s one musical genre they should hitch their wagon to for the foreseeable future, it’s Hip-Hop.įor a long while, WWE toiled under the impression that Rock music provided their best opportunity for crossover success. Only Vince McMahon knows how or if WWE plans to leverage this newfound attention, but they certainly should. #watchmeyuuuuuu- Lexi Kaufman March 2, 2021 What’s a “Soulja boy”? Well, whatever it is.
