Ari Melber also spoke with HipHopDX about his knack for bringing up topic-appropriate Hip-Hop lyrics while reporting the news, and he even predicts that other journalists will follow suit in the near future. "Usually it’s a song I know that pops into my head, so some topic or concept in the news just fits with a lyric, or wisdom from a song," Melber explains. "It’s possible more journalists will start citing bars, the way they use sports analogies, which is cool with me."
"As Drake said, 'So many came up on a style that I made up, but if all I hear is me, then who should I be afraid of?'" Melber jokes.
