Thanks to UffinGreg for reminding me of a great Prince Paul track. I have one to add just for the pure silliness of it. I can never decide if this track is actually a skit or a song, but it says a lot about Paul and his boys De La, who merged fun and creativity in a way that has rarely been matched.
Commentary on Burger King... HHT to the rescue.

How long was that track?

5:40 of insanilty
that whole album was a big f' off in a lot of ways to a lot of people that cornered De La as being somehow corny or inauthentic after there break through "Three feet high...," when in fact they were so above a lot of what was coming out, especially the emerging gangster scene, and also memorable pop-hop moments of radio and MTV horror.

It is funny you should bring De La up. I have never listened to a lot of rap, but there are a few artists over the years that I have enjoyed. De Le Soul, Tribe Called Quest and Gang Starr being some of the few that I have enjoyed and still do in limited doses.
