If you have been keeping up with the latest news in the hip hop world, or social media in general since Friday, you've probably heard about the infamous brief interview when Cash Money head honcho Birdman showed up to Power 105 FM's The Breakfast Club morning radio show to admonish co-hosts Charlemagne The God, Angela Yee, and DJ Envy. Since the confrontation, Twitter has been running wild with jokes and hashtags rooted from Birdman's now-immortalized quote "When my name comes up, put some 'respeck' [sic]on it."

NBA on ABC commentator and former Warriors coach Mark Jackson was analyzing Golden State's excellent ball movement during Game 4 against the Rockets, and shocked everyone watching the live broadcast when he jokingly stated, "When you say the Warriors, put some 'respeck' on their name."

Yeah, with a capital "K!" And Twitter went ballistic reacting to what the New York native repeated in the same vein as Birdman. Here are some of the reactions to Mark Jackson showing that he stays abreast with today's hip hop news:
