The weird thing with "Stressed Out," by the way, is that the album version (Consequence-heavy) got pushed aside on the single, which includes a long Phife verse but isn't otherwise a remix. Wonder who pushed that idea ahead; I wouldn't be surprised if it was Jive, honestly.

Er, Q-Tip did most of the production too. This was another part of his dictatorial power.

"They murdered their owner by shoving him into a rocket and shooting him onto a distant planet where it exploded on impact." Gee, it doesn't seem as whimsical when you put it that way, end titles.

Twenty fuckin' years, and I still haven't gotten my killa tape back.

I figured Rubber Soul couldn't be topped so I burned a stack of other Beatles records.

One of my best party tricks remains the ability to do the long, one-breath start of Q-Tip's last verse ("Okay, I am recognizing that the voice inside my head…etc"), also in one-breath. Love this song as much as I did when I was 12.

Erick Sermon production "Outstanding" off Shaq Diesel still holds up, sorta. Mostly because "Outstanding" by The Gap Band totally holds up.

Am I also right to assume that iTunes will fuck over season pass subscribers as they did with the split-season Breaking Bad?

Has anything even received an A- yet here?

…and Delonte West as JAZZ!

I like how Kanye's mix drowns out most of the dialogue. Total upgrade.

It also doesn't sound too dissimilar from SOUR GRAPES, which I know we all remember well.

Um….no? /nose breaks computer monitor

Wait, you're really going to tell me that this is "West’s first willfully imperfect album" and that 808s was meant to sound like that? Can we at least still agree that the live "Cinderella Story" is his first willfully godawful song?

I'm also deeply saddened by the exclusion of Newcleus' "Jam On It," even if their sound battle with Superman (aided by the unreleased but amazing 12-inch cut called "Disco Kryptonite) only takes up one verse of that weird, beautiful song.

Needs more Roger Troutman.

So, Two Men and a Little Lady?

A bad enough movie that even repeated use of the Faith No More theme song wasn't working for me.

Give me Son of Mitchell or give me death! No, wait, not death. Forget it, just give me a couple cans of Schlitz and some time to sleep this hangover off.

Lotta departures lately. If The AV Club was undergoing a Logan's Run program, would they tell us? Are the long-time readers next to go?
