When one thinks of the iconic names of hip-hop, Jack Edwards might not be the first one that comes to mind. Or the second, third, fourth or fifth.
However, the Bruins play-by-play announcer for NESN has been showing off his ability to “bust a move” on The Toucher and Rich show in a segment aply titled, “New Jack Edwards.”
The latest segment of the game was on the show early Wednesday morning, as a lucky fan had to guess three of the five songs that Edwards was reading along to.
The contestant had the opprotunity to win tickets to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals between the Boston Bruins and the Washington Capitals Wednesday night at the TD Garden, which happens to be the last game that Edwards will be calling for NESN this season.
While the contest normally has Edwards reading lyrics from songs in the style of New Jack Swing, this time around, the voice of the B’s was heard rapping some famous songs from the late 80s and early 90s.
So if you ever wanted to hear a Jack Edwards cover of Notorious B.I.G, 2 Live Crew, and miraculously, the Insane Clown Posse, then Wednesday morining was a dream come true.
Check out the lyrical stylings of the energetic broadcaster in all of his glory in the player below. And be sure to hear Edwards call Game 7 between the Bruins and the Captials when the puck drops at 7:30 p.m. on NESN.
