Message: [QUOTE="cancontent, post: 4300549, member: 10709"] Raised on it along with heavy metal, rock and roll, alternative, classical, country, house, R&B.............etc. The idea/assumption that Ivey couldn't relate from a "hip hop" level doesn't make sense nor is it fair because that is a blanket statement that doesn't do athletes or Ivey justice. Not all athletes of this generation are "hip hop types". Second, hip hop has been around well before Ivey attended Notre Dame as an athlete herself. Being am an AC on ND's sidelines for as long as she has, she's also coached many "hip hop types" as you classify them, including one of my faves Natalie Achonwa. And if Ivey couldn't really "get down" with these athletes, how does it explain her ability to resonate with NBA players when she was an AC with Memphis? If you want to say there could be a generational gap, that's fair, even though I think that's a stretch. [/QUOTE]
