That has to be a ploy by the D.A. I'd probably find a sudden support for the death penalty if I had to serve as a juror uncaffeinated. No coffee? That has to be a ploy by the D.A.

Sure beats "Reasonable Doubt - classic, should have went triple." Although (and you could argue about whether this counts), it's hard to touch: Yo, you know how we did on the Infamous album, right? Aight, we gonna do it again son. Like I can't even imagine how that must've come off in 1996, but I remember when I bought it in 2003 after playing The Infamous 80 times, and I heard that and was like "oh shit, this shit really will be just as good as the last album."

I've always looked at Cuban Linx as just as much Ghost's album as Rae's. I mean, as Starks put it on "Mighty Healthy:" The world can't touch Ghost purple tape, Rae co-host. I agree.

So why don't we give Immobiliarity the same treatment instead of being like, "wow, what a terrible follow-up"? He lost his producer and his go-to collabo dude. Cuban Linx is a group album.

I told the defense lawyers that I was big admirer of Barry Goldwater. It worked like a charm. You know how I escaped jury duty? I told the defense lawyers that I was big admirer of Barry Goldwater.

It was flat-out embarrassing. Never heard the album beyond the goddawful sampler they gave me--not sure if I'll ever be able to.

It'd be like pummeling <i>Baldhead Slick & Da Click</i> or <i>Pimpalation</i>. Everyone knows Rae was the third most valuable player on his own record.

The obvious (though maybe too cliched) song for this post would've been East Flatbush's Project's "Tried By 12." But yeah, little too cliched and it can never hurt to remind people that Immobilarity isn't unadulterated garbage. 2. I love 12 Angry Men. Height of 50s bien-pensant liberalism. 1.
