So VH-1 says “Fight the Power” is the best hip-hop song of all time.
I asked my musically informed roommate if this was true, and he said most definitely.
He also knew exactly the article I was talking about just from my question. It’s good to know we’re both avoiding working by internetting it up.
My point, though – I know “Fight the Power” is the more iconic and culturally important song, but I personally like “Welcome to the Terrordome” way, way, way better.
That part at the start where it’s like, “duh-nunt-duh-nunt, duh-nunt-duh-nunt, nunt-nunt-nuuuuuuuhhhh nairwwwo…!!!” is the best thing ever.
The other day I mentioned the new season of Heroes being awful, and in sharp contrast, I really like the season premiere of Smallville.
(Couple things – I’ve long been a Superman fan, so anything Superman will get me to at least watch. Note: That was actually just one thing.)
I was hooked on Smallville for several years, but it felt like they were just running in place with the “Lex finds out about Clark-Lex forgets about Clark somehow-Clark turns evil-Clark unturns evil” for a few seasons and I dropped off.
This year, it feels like they’ve done what I’ve always felt was an inevitable necessity, should the show run long enough: more or less reboot it as “Metropolis”.
And as much as I like Lex’s character, having him gone will force them to look for some new things to do.
That was really all geeky-sounding, in different genres of geek, even. Thus, I hope Stephon Marbury ends up on the Lakers or Celtics after he gets released – those likely have the most potential for strife, right?
I mean, he’s gonna bring chaos wherever he is, but you really need him to go viral on a winning team for it to pay off for the public.
