With "urban" music having come to a degree of prominence such that it dominates the "mainstream" pop charts, music-makers such as Sean Combs and Jermaine Dupri have achieved heights of success that have seen them transcend the role of mere producer... these gentleman could best be described as superstar moguls. An enormous part of the high profiles they've crafted is their self-inclusion into the works of the acts they produce... frequently providing "backing vocals" of such utterances as yeah, uh huh, that's right and come on for their artists' tracks. And, of course, the natural progression of this has these producers also appearing in all the corresponding music videos. Not exactly the way Quincy or Clive did it, but hey...
Anyway, being a producer myself, albeit a local TV sports producer, I think it's about time I take steps to heighten my profile and reap some of the recognition I so richly deserve. I think it would be more than desirable to have me out on the desk (with the requisite bottle of Cristal in hand and chick in a bikini in my lap), aside my sports anchor as they do the nightly highlights, with me providing "backing voice over"...
"The Rockets at home tonight (that's right) looking to run their win streak to six as they take on the Spurs (uh huh)... second quarter, Rockets up four (what), Tracy McGrady with back-to-back threes to run the lead out to ten (yeah yeah), 49-39 (uh)... Rockets with the transition game going (come on), Carl Landry pulls down the board and gets it to Aaron Brooks streaking down the floor (uh uh uh), Brooks with the great ballfake to freeze the D (alright), he leaves it for Von Wafer, who finishes with the big slam (come on now)."
Dope... dope, I say.

Have you ever watched NBA TV's highlight show. They do that sh!t all the time. So I think you should bring it to Houston.
