I’ve gotta head out in about 15-20 minutes. Y’all mind if I make my pick before then if Tim hasn’t picked yet? It won’t be from his next grouping.
Thought that was you picking it at first and thought that seemed uncharacteristic
That brings up some memories that I have not thought about in decades. I sat beside a guy named Phillip throughout high school in homeroom. He sold pot and speed. He always liked to show me his stash. I remember some of the names of his speed such as black beauty, speckled birds, yellow jackets, and white crosses. Those are the only ones I can remember, but I think there was one that had the word blue in it too.The FBI is gonna think we're running an amphetamine ring with all this talk about Happy Greens.![]()
I'm not a big rap fan, but I've always liked this one and marked it as a No Hesitation pick.Been sitting on this one for a while - not sure if it’s on anyone else’s radar but I’d hate to miss out on it.

Everybody know me, it's like I'm a movie star
Damn, it feels good to be Yo Mama.I'm not a big rap fan, but I've always liked this one and marked it as a No Hesitation pick.
This song and album has always stuck with me since I first heard it in the summer before my sophomore year of high school. Rakim was just so cool, and his wordplay and the way he structured his rhymes was amazing at the time (and still holds up). Many artists that came out later would cite Rakim as an influence. And Eric B. was no slouch as a DJ, and was excellent and picking out obscure and not so obscure samples from 70s soul and funk. I would suggest folks listen to I Ain't No Joke, I Know You Got Soul, and Microphone Fiend (probably my favorite rhymes). (Apologies for the youtube links, don't have spotify).
There were a small handful of us with long hair at my college in the mid 80s... Mostly deadheads or Metalheads and a couple randoms like me. We all acknowledged each other around campus...little nod.That brings up some memories that I have not thought about in decades. I sat beside a guy named Phillip throughout high school in homeroom.

I looked him up, and it appears that he is still affiliated with drugs. He is a family physician and specializes in bariatric medicine in Pa. I reckon he isn't recommending speed for the people needing weight loss. He dyed his brown hair blonde, but he is still cute.
holy ####... just googled Ken.
it was Uranium-238.
and lots of other stuff during and since that reads like fiction. He's currently serving 15-18 years in federal prison for essentially becoming Breaking Bad. but at least he's not still in prison in Afghanistan as a suspected CIA spy.

Kind of surprised Buckley's version wasn't on the list.Such a steal in Round 15.
The universal dreamI love the thought of throwing Rush right in the middle of an hour long hip hop set.

opposite for me.I was surprised, too, though I prefer the original.
Unable to see all obstacles in your way?In case I hadn't made it clear, my strategy clearly is not working.
Love this song.Didn't want it on my playlistHello, Leonard. I'm hopping aboard for some cold and broken hallelujahs.

You have a strategy?In case I hadn't made it clear, my strategy clearly is not working.
Maybe if you were less angry about certain songs...Tough but fair.
again... this is basically me for just about all of these songs.I would rather hear Two Princes on loop for 146 consecutive hours than hear Buckley’s Hallelujah again. Thanks, movie and TV producers!
two timeKILLING ME SOFTLY RUN##!#. I'm much more familiar with this version being a teenager in the 90s, I was basically waiting for either this or Taylor Swift to be taken, then jumping on the other.

Looking back I wish I would have gone hip-hop only with everything I’ve been able to get there so far, but taking Metallica and Rush early messed that up.
By that point, you should DEFINITELY know what a prince and lover ought to be.I would rather hear Two Princes on loop for 146 consecutive hours
