I'm still grappling with the fact you never enjoyed the juvenile delight of Slick Rick. I'm not going to cite it, as I'd likely be flagged for supporting sexist raunch, but there is a cut on his first record that's wrong, wrong, wrong, but was so damn funny in high school, and is delivered with such amazing flow, it still astounds me.
ETA: Schoolly D's "Signifying Rapper" (a cut no one could, or should, release today) still remains the best use of Kashmir in a rap tune. And its use in
Bad Lieutenant is quite memorable (as is a lot of the rest of that movie).
I've been listening to a bunch of 80s stuff since George Michael died (the piano line from "Freedom" was definitely ripped from James Brown, but whatever -- Michael's use of it is still some of the best 6 minutes in pop of the last 30 years [and the video is the best use of supermodels in music vids]). Also got together with sibling and spouses and watched Eddie Murphy's
Delirious for the first time in ages. Still the greatest stand-up movie of all time. Have not laughed that hard in months.
