Why Do I Keep Hearing "Gannon" in Rap Songs Lately?

Maybe this isn't a recent thing but I've just been noticing it here lately, like on the Big Boi mixtape and the new Young Jeezy, sounds like Pat Summerall saying "Gannon" and also occasionally "Gannon steps back" on the Big Boi tape.

I thought maybe it was a Raider thing, but if I'm not mistaken didn't Gannon retire after last year? Maybe it just sounds better than "Kerry Collins steps back" idk.

there's a mixtape DJ named Don Cannon, and he has an echoey soundbyte of a deep voice saying "CANNON" on his mixtapes, maybe that's what you're thinking of?

Don Cannon is still in Pittsburgh? I left Pittsburgh almost 20 years ago and grew up with him on channel 4 (WTAE?).

Indeed. He's moved over to KDKA. Haven't seen him in years, though, wonder if he's still nipping the bottle on the air.

Nice work. That logo looks just like the Cannon sample trigger sounds.

this actually is the sample though right? it's something from a Madden video game saying "Gannon"? that's what I always thought listening to the Lil Wayne mixtape

― dmr, Monday, 22 November 2010 13:57 (fifteen years ago)

that's lightweight gannon.
