Pointless long lame hip hop introductions

Post by MrSaigon »

Jurassic 5 came up in my shuffle today a couple times. I think they're okay when they are rapping, but that :45 of crap before any rapping takes place really irritates me and often makes me skip the track.

My brother has been trying to get me to listen to Lyrics Born for a long time. And I like him when he's rapping as well, but it's not worth listening to at least :30 seconds of BS for, IMO. I told my brother if validation of his tastes is worth it, he can edit the tracks for me.

I'll tell you what. I'm about as big of a hip hop junkie as I know.

But I totally agree with you. Hip hop albums have So Many Freaking Intros and Skits. Augh. It's so hellishly annoying. I listen to my itunes playlist on shuffle most of the time. I have over 6000 songs, almost all of which are from albums I or my roommate(s) own. But, for CDs like Method Man (The Worst Offender) I feel like I shoud delete half the freaking CD. That thing has like 24 tracks and like 10 of them are idiotic skits, shout-out tracks, or intros to songs that are just stupid.

This is why I love the Roots more than any. No 40 second stupid-ass skit or intro tracks. Just music. Awesome, awesome music. Then again, they always have those lame tracks at the end of their albums with that spoken-word chick. Zzz.

This one goes out to all my peeps at GRB...Haltz, BW, GB, Skmsw, and JC!

Leeeroooooooy!

"EB Posts"

I need to recruit all the posters
All the Mod's soldiers
Yo, We at war
We at war with the guzzlers, the spammers, the flamers, and most of all we at war with ourselves
(EB Posts)
Mods show me the way because Leroy's trying to break me down
(EB Posts with me) with me, with me, with me [fades]

You know what the Midwest is?
Cardinal Redness
Where neanderthal (Cub fans) make posts that pain us
And next these (Cub fans) make posts that blame us
Somebody tell these (Cub fans) who EastonBlues is
I walk through the forum of CardsTalk where death is
First thread the view alone will leave you breathless Ughhhh!
Try to stop it Uhhhh! It's kinda hard
Getting spammed by dumb men yeah yeah now check their methods
They be dodging my questions, attack without basis
Saying "we hate posters who sub numbers for faces"
Huh? Y'all hate math? Where does that leave us?
We ain't going nowhere with no horses to take us
A team full of pitchers tipping more than waiters
Mozeliak used to say that only EB can save us
Well Moz I know I act a fool
But I'll be busy 'til March cause I got Izturis to move I Hope

[Hook x2]

Mods show me the way because Leroy's trying to break me down
(EB Posts with me)
The only thing that that I pray is that my numbers don't fail me now
(EB Posts)
And I don't think there is nothing I can do now to right Walt's wrongs
(EB Posts with me)
I want to talk to the Mods but I'm afraid cause we ain't spoke in so long

To the guzzlers, spammers, faction, banned posters even the Cub fans
(EB Posts with them)
To the victims of CT for we were living in hell there hell yeah
(EB Posts with them)
Now hear ye hear ye want to see things more clearly
I know my metrics bear me when my eyes get weary
Cause we're the almost nearly extinct
We stat guys are role models we crunch we don't think
I ain't here to argue about the SABR features
Or here to convert scouts into believers
I'm just trying to say the way school need teachers
The way Kathie Lee needed Regis that's the way this team need us
So here go my postings dog the intrawebs need this
They say you can post about anything except for SABR
That means runs, wins, RBIs, video tapes
But if I talk about metrics my posts won't get play Huh?
Well I won't let that take away from my trends
Though that will probably take away from my friends
Cause I hope this will get the Cards on the mend
And bring the day that I'm dreaming about
Next time I'm in Busch III everybody screaming out

I'm not even a fan of hip-hop/rap and I too thought that was great.

Who can GRB commission to perform it and record?

If that happens, it becomes almost 100% not as cool.
