I had no idea who The Boston Pops was and I assumed that they were a group signed to the classical division of Young Money or Roc Nation records like every artist that comes out these days. Upon further review, Lil’ Wayne and Jay Z have nothing to do with them (shockingly) and in fact they are a legit Orchestra with a great sense of humor.
How great of a sense of humor you ask Peter? Well they decided to have Shaquille O’Neal make his conducting debut in “Sleigh Ride”, as part of a holiday Pops Concert, that took place at Boston’s Symphony Hall.
Yup, they’re silly like that! After watching this performance, I’m positive that LTD, Farley Flex and Maestro Fresh-Wes all shed a collective tear.
Familiarize / culture yourself with that Canadian hip-hop reference after the jump.
