that one where the girl is sucking his dick and she keeps saying you know i don't be doing this and he says "whatever bitch" still cracks me up and i also love "pickle juice drinking motherfucker" and technically "you got a red dot on your head" is a skit too so i gotta say rtd is without flaw

if puffy trying to talk biggie out of suicide counts as a skit, it's among one of the worst performances of all time. It nearly ruins an otherwise classic song.

You liked puffy interjecting with "yo man you buggin!" throughout the song, even trampling over big's lines with that inane bullshit? Like the fuckin skit part didn't even end when the song started.  Puffy's ignorant frohawk sporting ass rambled over the whole fuckin song.  I guess suge really did have a point at the source awards lol.

The saddest part about the end of that song was that the wrong character died.

Is there a particular reason why some artists have to have three or four different "takes" or versions of songs on their albums? Like radio edit, studio version, extended, demo, blah blah blah. I mean, surely if you've heard one version of the song it's enough? Might be a curiosity, seeing how it was originally meant to be, but should that take up space on the album you're (ostensibly) paying for?

sometimes they stink and sometimes they're great but bonus tracks shouldn't be added to the original release but instead put on an outtakes and rarities compilation

Well some of them were originally too long for radio so they chop it down. Some just have different production. Either way, no issue with it and I've rarely found them taking up space on the album. There's plenty of space to go round BTW, there's nothing to worry about.

yeah but you need to take care to understand that the bonus tracks are extraneous

i mean you listen to the whole thing and up never wanting to hear it again that's a problem

i go check the original release tracklist and cut off the extras as a matter of course

I feel it is an issue, as instead of putting these other takes on, they could have put an original song instead. So rather than get, say, three versions of a song (which, as Dreams says, you may not even like) you have the opportunity to hear more of their original music. I mean, would you buy an album of nothing but special versions/remixes/edits etc?

i have no idea why anyone would buy recorded music at all anymore (no offense to those who do but i don't get it) but yeah back when i bought records i also bought outtakes and so on

i used to have a huge charlie parker vinyl box set that had tons of outtakes and half tracks and so on

but that's WHY i bought it - that's not like sonic youth throwing on "bubble gum" at the end of evol - those tracks are great but i already had the bonus tracks from eps i already owned on vinyl - i didn't want it on the cd even though it's great music because evol is already complete

The surviving members of Lynyrd Skynyrd should've retired the band's name after the plane crash.

i don't think there are any surviving original members now that rossington has died

but i know that's not what you're saying

to your point post-crash skynyrd is considerbly worse than jacksonville rivals 38 special and molly hatchet

they damaged their legacy so badly that it can be an uphill battle explaining how great they were

zeppelin is a band that did it right

the who are a band that did it very wrong

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I think early A Tribe Called Quest and P.M. Dawn and their jazzy ilk have aged better than most 90's rap. The latter especially were really out there for the era.  Might have to dig back into their '91 debut cause it had so many bangers.
