That's probably true, though we just thought it was funny that my cousins and I got mistaken for Mexicans growing up in California and most of our grandparents ancestors apparently were Virginia farmers, Confederates and Appalachian white folks from the British Isles.

For years my family always said that half our family line had possibly Native American blood or Latino or Italian heritage based on our somewhat Mediterranean looks, but after doing genealogical research and a DNA test it looked like my ancestors were all just Scotch-Irish and English from Arkansas, Alabama, and

Hell, in the old days you'd just buy a bottle of whiskey and you got two Irishmen thrown in for free!

Nic Cage just hopes that the IRS has forgotten about Nic Cage already.

Uh, something something…Alan-a-Dale.

Yeah, I don't know, I remember De La Soul had some skits early on, and at that time it was considered sort of innovative. Then you had Gangster Rap doing sort of X-rated comedy skits and then it at some point became you'd have an intro skit, 5 to 6 skits in the middle and a closing skit—none of which really added

Skits dragged down many a good album in that era. I remember listening to my collection of rap albums on shuffle on ITunes in the mid-2000s and there was 30 percent chance you'd get a skit popping up.

I think also that Method Man—like a lot of rappers—had really reduced quality in his solo work when he started going for an acting career. Once rappers start starring in movies/TV their albums often become sort of secondary effort. Also though, the same thing sort of happened to RZA once he got involved in film.

I think I loved every Wu-Tang album released until about Tical 2000: Judgement Day or Beneath The Surface. GZA's followup was particularly disapointing because Liquid Swords was really a masterpiece. After about 1999 though the albums go way down in quality.

They find a dead hooker in Harry Crane's hotel room?

I'm always disappointed when I'm driving through the Central District or Capitol Hill that there's no "My Posses On Broadway" memorial or statue of Sir Mix-A-Lot.

And that's the Chicago way!

I knew a girl in college who got hit on by dancehall reggae artist Eek-a-Mouse.

She slept with all of them even Killah Priest, Masta Killa, and several other Wu Affiliates. But not Cappadonna, everyone forgot about that guy.

Yeah that makes sense, considering the cultural heritage and history of Seattle is basically summed up with bands that were on Subpop in the late 1980s. I mean what even happened before then? Pioneers, Alaska Gold Rush, Chinese and Scandanvian immigrants, etc? Boooooring. History starts with "Touch Me I'm Sick".

Yes, and I remember that episode where he bragged about uploading a illegal pirated copy of the season premiere of "Homeland" three weeks before it aired!

C'mon Barsanti, Davos Seaworth was a smuggler, does that really equal pirate?

Josh Gad as the bumbling sidekick LeFou.

The whole children's power plant model competition is probably one of the funniest parts of this episode:

He's probably more at risk just walking around town in a hoodie than facing off with supervillains these days as it is.
