"The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," with the awful, cloying, self esteem-building grade school class dialogues just about kills the album for me.

The ones on Ice-T's "Power" are real bad too, Ice-T trying to do two different voices but sounding exactly the same.

"under construction" to thread

90% of all skits on hip-hop albums are GODAWFUL, but SB/TLB to thread anyway.

"Ken Kaniff"

well, the one on Mobb Deep's Hell On Earth leading into G.O.D. pt 3 is pretty bad, but it can be hilarious if you're stoned just right.

Many of the skits on Wyclef's Carnival are pretty choice, but the one with the phone call in the middle of the night and the voice going "RAPE RAPE RAPE" is really horrible, not funny, and definitely not among the greatest moments of an album to be listening to at work when your boss comes into your office.

That unbelievably tedious serialised drama about the "activist" which ruined the CD version of Blaze 25 Years Later.

If you play those Lauryn Hill skits for a real teacher, watch them vomit. Everything that's wrong with education today can be found in those skits (i.e. self-esteem over the three Rs).

(my ex was a teacher!)

Yikes, did she enjoy those skits?

Both my mother and my brother are both teachers, and whenever I'd play that album, they'd mock-retch during the classroom skits...

spearhead's album about capital punishment to thread

The fake newscast on Niggaz4Life is pretty hysterically bad, especially the one where that newscaster gets shot - "Turn the fuckin' camera off you motehrfucker!" (beeeeeeeeeeeeeep)

"To Kill A Hooker" rules though

The intro skit to "METHOD MAN" is one of my favorites of all time. "..just ya nuts lyin' on the fuckin' dresser, just ya nuts..."

95% of all skits are the pits.

well the wu-tang has some great skits. with rain sound effects and stuff. the "don rodriguez" one on liquid swords is really entertaining for some reason.

― amateur!!st, Monday, 30 August 2004 21:01 (twenty-one years ago)

just the way he pronounces "don rodriguez" basically... ("don wodWEEgez")
