Teddy Hill
Teddy Hill (December 7, 1909 in Birmingham, Alabama – May 19, 1978 in Cleveland, Ohio) was a big band leader and the manager of Minton's Playhouse, a seminal jazz club in Harlem. He played a variety of instruments, including drums, clarinet, soprano and tenor saxophone.
Life and career
After moving to New York City, Hill had early gigs with the Whitman Sisters, George Howe and Luis Russell's orchestra in the 1920s, later forming his own band in 1934, which found steady work over the NBC radio network. Over several years it featured such major young musicians as Roy Eldridge, Bill Coleman, Frankie Newton and Dizzy Gillespie. Hill's band played at the Savoy Ballroom regularly, and toured England and France in the summer of 1937. After leaving the band business, Hill began to manage Minton's Playhouse in 1940, which became a hub for the bebop style, featuring such major musicians as Thelonious Monk and Kenny Clarke. Hill left Minton's in 1969, long after its musical significance had declined; he then became the manager of Baron's Lounge.

Bring Home Da Bacon
Rap (indo g):
Now c'mon and tear da club up,
Toss and floss 100,
Even if you don't want it,
But if ya got it flaunt it.
Angeldust get the jail break,
What the cuff locked up.
Snakes can slither like robbers into a bank,
My idea of a joke is no high school prank.
Call me on da phone and see what ya want,
Cause my three 6 mafia presents world domination.

Couldn't alwayz pay ya back,
Because I knew you would go buy crack.

But now I know ya got me ohhhh.

Couldn't bring home the bacon,
Prepare for a world domination.
Couldn't bring home the bacon,
Prepare for world domination.

Repeat chorus
Rap (gangsta boo):
Ready to tell you all,
That I like to ball take me to the mall?
Bring home the bacon cause satisfaction is waiting,
Anticipation can chill wit cream,
And still play it all mean.
Take it to the wrist the ice and the diamonds,
We can do the french kiss once I know what your about,
There can be a miracle when you believe,
Because I ride in a b-e-n-t-l-e but y?
