I hope this is at least partially tongue-in-cheek. Either that or
someone's trying pretty hard to "keep it real."

Is this anything like what Benny Goodman & Paul Whiteman did with big band?

Give it a rest. Why is it so important that rhythmic mumbling about
"bitches" and "benjamins" be included on top of downtempo breaks? Boot
to the head.
