It's no secret that music is my first love. And hip-hop represents the music world in which I live.When Tha O Show sat down with New Jack a week ago to conduct a shoot interview (DVD coming soon), we discovered that he shared this sentiment.
Referring to himself as "old school", New Jack revealed Ice-T, Scarface and N.W.A. among his favourite artists. Of course, New Jack is well-known for using "Natural Born Killaz" - a song by N.W.A. members Dr. Dre and Ice Cube - as his ring entrance music.
As soon as Tha O Show started in February of 2006, I took it upon myself to relay the links between hip-hop and the other object of my admiration: pro wrestling. Read that article here: Part One.
Over the past week on WWE TV, hip-hop megastar, Timbaland proved he's also on board.
The way I see it, hip-hop and wrestling need not be jealous of one another. We can all live in harmony...in a glorious threesome, if you will. They've been in cahoots for quite some time, anyway. For more proof, read my second article here: Part Two.
And while you're at it, go ahead and check out Part Three as well.
I now dedicate to you, my loyal O-sters, the fourth installment of my "Hip-Hop Loves Wrestling" series. Enjoy...

Juelz Santana - "S.A.N.T.A.N.A." from "What The Game's Been Missin'"
