He can’t dance. His accent ain’t right either.

Luckily his dad was the DA.

You might be on to something if his claim to fame was dancing around a courtroom prosecuting criminals.

He’s New Orleans’ own. STFU.

Everything was right with the world when they’d interview his dad or Fire Chief William McCrossen on channel 4’s 10 o’clock news.

You're right. He never would have been DA of New Orleans if not for his dad. Oh, wait.......

Eh, the boost he got in the world because his dad was DA in New Orleans got him, hmm, let's see:
* maybe Jesuit would not have let him attend half-day and then go to NOCCA the other half (I don't think they let other boys do that);
* maybe he got to meet some local musicians and local music industry figures; and
* the big one ... oh wait, not really.

If 100 is 'where you are professionally that's a really cool place', there are plenty of folks whose parents pulled them to 80 or 90. Relative to a big-time music and acting career, I think HCj's dad got him to maybe 20. That's all. Am I missing something?

Pretty close.

The dude had a bit of privilege, but he’s also legit talented and driven.

He’s a nepo baby , but he’s a talented one.. yeah his familial connections helped no doubt, but that only gets you in the door, he’s had a solid career for like 35 years .



That said, i watched his Super Bowl opening deal on Utube and i thought it was what the kids would call “cringe af .”
