It all started when a fan asked CNN's Jake Tapper what kind of jams he was currently rocking on his iPhone:
@jaketapper I don't care about news today - tell us what music is on your iphone.
It was a Sunday morning, so the host of The Lead was at home with his family.
@whereishawkins today has been all about appeasing my son w Despicable Me 2 soundtrack
The fan took the opportunity to pitch a "Pop Lead" segment:
@jaketapper You should do something on your show about valuable life lessons learned from 1990s rap.
Then it began...
@whereishawkins Sir Mix-A-Lot (@therealmix) taught me not to lie
@jaketapper @whereishawkins I try to set an example
.@therealmix one might also admire your war on nefarious societal pressures aka "so Cosmo says you're fat/well I ain't down with that"
@jaketapper You Sir... are a dialectician. Impressive
.@therealmix an honor being praised by royalty, Sir. Rooting for Sea-town in the Bowl. Have a wonderful Sunday!
@jaketapper I've crossed 8 fingers and 4 toes
Then Twitter, ahem, butted in:
@jaketapper @therealmix Notable that Tapper is being evasive on his position on big butts.
@brianhurn @therealmix I'm agnostic on all gluteal issues, comes with the job
@brianhurn @jaketapper Jake is fiercely protective of his brand
We all are, Sir. We all are.
