I am certainly guilty of this and my fiancée just laughs at me for it
The “X gonna give it to you” song was also used in Deadpool which I think should be pretty well known in the pop culture of college students.
To be fair tho, I’m on the on the young side here and even though I had heard that song in Deadpool I didn’t know it was DMX until CW played it on a podcast referencing Hutchinson.
Know a gal that does a lot of karaoke, and she always subs in "brother" which I thought was a clever way to square that circle.

They’re literally using the chorus in a TV commercial that played a lot during college football this weekend. I can’t tell you what the product is, but if they’re using a song in commercials, it’s not that obscure.
(Although I admit I probably hadn’t heard it prior to this weekend, although I do understand the reference, as Steve Rogers would say … it’s not the style of music I listen to)
Kids these days don't know American core values like DMX and other assorted early 00s hip hop.
Seriously though, I'm not a huge hip hop fan but it is kind of a good "pump up" song regardless of what it means. The fact that it means something cool for X is great.
I wonder can we not play music like that unless the broadcast is on commercial? For legal reasons?
I like to give extremely generic hip hop names to everybody in my life.

Deadpool scene. NSFW although that should go without saying for Deadpool with DMX haha
One of my young cousins knows lots of 90s rock and 80s pop because of various GTA video game sound tracks. I think Dr Dre did nearly an album of new music just for a GTA game recently which speaks to the reach of that.
Every young person is different. When I was in high school in the 90s I couldn't stand the grunge and hip hop all my friends listened to and I was listening to 60s/70s rock, mostly British invasion Beatles/Stones. I'm sure some 18 year old out there is a DMX expert the same way I had unreleased bootlegs of Jimi Hendrix on cd as a teen in the 90s.
Because it's "Deadpool" and not "X-Men" even though Colossus is an old school X-Men character the reference was probably lost on some...although that song fits Deadpool and not a main narrative X-Men movie.
That’s our group. It was a last minute idea, so we just printed off sheets and used Velcro straps. Hope to have bigger, better ones for X next time. Maybe have done that are circled for TD’s. And maybe even some yellow ones for when the refs make bad calls and take away receptions and/or TD’s!
P.S. Does anyone know the exact location of the yard-o-meter for Troy Davis? I think it had to be in or near Section X.
I think it is a Fongs pizza commercial.
To be honest, I saw the commercial before I got the joke. Pardon my lack of familiarity with the DMX hits.
Heard the touchdown call from Walters today was X marks the spot, which was... Meh. He should definitely say "X is going to give it to you!" clearly annunciating each word and sounding like a dad trying to be hip. It would be so amazing!
Last year I went to the Texas game, X’s first catch I screamed “X gonna give it to ya” one person turned around and high fived me. The next two times he smiled. I don’t think anyone else knew the reference.
