Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

(I found that list linked off a blog called "Things White People Like," and Mos Def was the most recent entry.)
I bet because of The Wire .

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I was with Aimee, though I was phrasing it as "white and was in musically formative years in the late 1990s."
P.E. & N.W.A. were ten years earlier, actually...

I first heard of Mos Def during casting for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie.

The only rap albums I own are by a white guy from Mt. Uniacke, NS. And he's been labelled Emo Rap.

Um, yeah, that was what I intended to say. I went from "I remember NWA and PE in high school" to "I graduated from high school in 1990" to "the later 1990s."
Have I mentioned that I was a lot smarter in high school than I am now? I blame too much listening to cheezy rap music. "I like big butts" has got to kill brain cells.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I have a lot of older-white-guy rap, too (Beastie Boys, Run-DMC, Kurtis Blow, PE, Grandmaster Flash), but I like quite a bit of hip-hop that seems directly aimed at indie-rock nerds. For instance, MF Doom in all his incarnations (that's Viktor Vaughn, Danger Doom, Madvillain, and King Geedorah, that last of which would probably best appeal to Jon, I think). Uh, also Aesop Rock, Cannibal Ox, cLOUDDEAD, Lyrics Born, Latyrx, anything Peanut Butter Wolf puts out. Nerd-hop.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
The only rap album I own is De la Soul's "Three Feet High and Rising". Make of that what you will...
