The Skit List.


I love a good skit. Conceptual skits that add to the flavour of what the artist is trying to deliver in the totality of an album. Even if that is just catching a few lolz from voicemail recordings ("Just A Rascal", Dizzee Rascal). Nevertheless, skits have multiple functions. Some are transition pieces, like the fictional fraternity Broke Phi Broke in "Skit #4" (Kanye West). Others are integral to the album's whole, like Tyler The Creator's "Goblin", and The Streets' "Get Out Of My House".

Folks consider Eminem the G.O.A.T. on the skit front, but these are up there, all with funny undertones. You'll catch Kanye (again), but this time enlisting the help of Chris Rock in "Blame Game". You know the one...yeezy taught you well :D. 

I dare you not to crack up at Azealia Banks dismantling girls that like to act brand new ("Van Vogue"), or perhaps Juicy J's ridiculous outro on The Weeknd's "Same Old Song". Enjoy, listeners. First is Robyn's first track on her eponymous album, equipped with assertions to make anyone feel gassed.
