    Top Ten Hip Hop Albums

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    "Made You Look" is one of my favorite hip hop songs. That one line "Don't say my car's topless, say the titties is out" makes me laugh every time.

     

    Same here.

     

    My Chicago Bears used to warm up to Made You Look before home games.

     

    And that is a great line, too.

    What portion of your musical collection features rap?

    No idea where to put this so I guess its going here.

     

    No joke -- I ran into Q-Tip in the Energy Kitchen on 17th street bet 8th and 9th Ave in NYC yesterday. He and I were the only two guys in the place. I thought it looked like him and then he whipped out his cell phone and started talking on it. Bam! Q-TIp talking on his cell phone 3 feet away from me.

     

    I was thinking of dropping a line to the guy behind the checkout counter -- like not having money to pay and saying that I left my wallet in El Segundo, but then I figured that would be so lame. So I didnt say anything. I made eye contact with Q-Tip and I smiled at him. I think he knew I knew who he was.

     

    That's probably my best celebrity sighting in NYC so far. Although I did see Mike Myers once and Pat Riley some other time. Simon Russell Beale too. Considering that Q-Tip was my idol from 1990 - 1993, I have to think that's my best sighting yet.

     

    Rock and roll to the beat of the funk fuzz...

     

     

    Wow...nice.

     

    On a related note, I ran into OG Pat Hughes, reigning MC of all Cubs radio broadcasts on WGN, Saturday before the game. I gave him a pound, told him I enjoyed his flow and he told me to "stay up, young blood."

     

    Pat Hughes and Ron Santo are the Chuck D and Flavor Flav of sports broadcasting.

    holy shit, that was good. we gotta go back sometime when nobody has to work on Wednesday. the old fella I was talking to before we left, told me that they go on til about 3:15.

     

    man, that was great. Jeff, thanks for the ride, and Lou, thanks for the tip.

     

     

    Yeah, it just started getting *really* good when we left, too. I'm glad we left when we did, though, because I am exhausted today. Another two hours of that would've killed me.

     

    I'm down for whenever you want to go again. Next time, though, I'm taking a sick day on Wednesday.

     

    And that was great when Kris got a round of applause when Von announced that it was his first time at the New Apartment.

    Hey Jeff...you think they will check TGs ID?? I think she will be fine. They have those HS kids playing music after midnight.

    I think she'll be fine.

     

    Just have her bring a flute, or something, just in case. :)
