Part 2: • Montell Jordan on Bein...
Part 4: • Montell Jordan on Pion...
Part 1: • Montell Jordan on Grow...
--------
In this clip, Montell Jordan talked about some of his early musical influences inside and out of the church. He recounted being in a Christian group but was extremely tall and wanted to play basketball. However, he realized early on that he couldn’t play that well and wouldn’t excel in the sport after the reaction he received for getting his first in-game dunk.
Montell Jordan also talked about his days in college at Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA. While at Pep, Montell recalled pledging Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc and how he went through the old school process before the anti-hazing crackdown.

'This is how we do it' is a good song for anything. You can play it at a wedding, party, working out, driving, cookout, chilling, etc. Its one of the few songs that matches any occasion.

He's wrong. Pledging became more dangerous because every line went underground and no one knew the dangerous practices that occurred. It's safer when all the school officials knew who was actually on line. Going underground meant everything was a free-for-all. No rules meant outrageous behavior from members and more people the ended up getting hurt.
