Kanye has a much-deserved bad rep. But for some reason I respect the hell out of him. I thin it is the whole bi-polar and self-awareness thing he has going on.

Also, his being the single most influential male cultural force in music and fashion over the last half decade doesn't hurt.

I do really dislike the skits on the College Dropout album, in part because of that influence, and also in part because they are [expletive] dumb.

I mean, I get what he is saying--you don't need a college education to be successful. But is that really the message you want to pound home to youth?

All skits in hip hop are dumb. I don't know why they exist and I've hated them since I was 13 and heard the one on Eminem's album where the ICP guys blew each other.

Excellent point. The only ones that are occasionally funny are Wu-Tang skits when they are clearly baked.

I like Snoop Dogg's and Outkast's skits.

Have you heard Big Boi's new song?

I defy anyone to not get amped listening to that.

African American Gentlemen In Paris? That's a great track. Good pre-workout song.
That's the one, and you nailed it. I actually heard the song at the Bulls pre-game (clean version), and asked my son what it was.

99 Problems is another one I like - not so much the music but I think the lyrics are pretty strong.

No, but that's because I'm a stunted musical person these days. I always love anything those guys do.

If by "strong", you mean "STRONGLY DEMEANING TO WOMEN", you are correct.
