In between, as fans on Reddit were quick to note, a whole lot of battle rap references: Hoffa, King of the Date, and Krack City’s Dizaster, among others. “Shuffle T and Marlo did the perfect mix of jokes that the wedding guests would get and references that battle rap fans would get, too,” one redditor noted. 

“I cried tears of joy at the end,” offered another. “I’m so damn emotional.”

Hey hey, we can be, too.
