re: Memphis Grizzlies fans chant whoop that trick

That was amazing, I wish the Arena could get live like that.

I agree the 2nd is better. Added it to the OP

It has to be demoralizing for the visiting team to have an entire arena chanting whoop that trick at them, like they're a ho about to get beaten with a belt or something. Memphis is my new favorite team. I'm off the Heat bandwagon

But when it comes to in-game song selection, there is no equal for FedExForum. While the sheer volume of it can be occasionally exhausting — only Barclays definitely beats it in terms of songs per minute — the stadium is unmatched for the breadth, diversity and high quality of the songs being played during any given point in game action.

but nearly every time I watched a Grizzlies home game, there was a new song selection that caught my attention. Woah, are they playing “Yonkers” by Tyler the Creator? Is that the horn riff to Outkast’s ‘”Spottieottiedopalicious?” DJ Shadow’s “Organ Donor?” The Pixies’ “Where Is My Mind??”

Speaking of “Whoop That Trick,” which Memphis Flyer writer Chris Herrington calls “sort of a Memphis shibboleth” thanks to its connection to the Memphis-set “Hustle” and to Memphis rapper Al Kapone, it’s a priority for the entire Grizzlies music team to keep things local. The guys cite local rappers like Kapone, Three 6 Mafia, and Teflon Don as FedEx musts, as well as older stuff like legendary Stax house band Booker T. and the M.G.’s. ”If you foul out in Memphis, you won’t hear ‘Hit the Road Jack,’” testifies Baker. “Instead you get Yo Gotti’s ‘Shawty You Disqualified!’ All straight up Memphisness.” Baker also has player-specific cues: Future’s “Go Harder” for Tony Allen, a drum-and-bass remix of the “Superman” theme for Rudy Gay, and for Zach Randolph, a shoutout to his nickname inspiration with a hip-hop remix of D-Bo’s theme from “Friday.”[/quote
