OK, I admit it. I'm not into this music.
I'm just into her

I don't know about that other poster, but all my Rakim albums are spelled with only one K.

A Tribe Called Quest

Finally someone drops the TCQ.

I'll add Mister Lif, Lil' Brother and Blue Scholars to the new lists...

No love for People Under The Stairs?

Claire, of course you know, this means war. Prepare for muck-raking, grudges, bickering, oneupmanship, complete chaos, smog... wait a minute... I was wrong, good catch Claire. Thanks for setting that straight.

Well, since someone asked, I will offer my opinion.

None of it. I think it all basically blows and insults the intelligence of many. How many times can you say the same thing over and over in speaking mode and make it sound catchy. It's an insult to the music industry and indicates that music is at an all time low.

I'd love to, but I don't own a rake.
I have a broom and a mop though. And a sponge.

Which reminds me... when I had my orchiectomy and was pumped full of anesthesia, there was a box in the doctors office that said "surgical sponges", and I was so out of it, all I could think to myself was... "What the fuck is a sponge??"
