Results
So, I've decided to take a new stance on Skits in Albums. I''ve come to the conclusion that it's sort of a cop-out to place a skit as the "Worst Song", because quite frankly, they aren't songs.

This Album is known as the Album that actually started hip-hop skits. The Album;s theme revolves around a Game Show, and each artist coming in and answering the questions through the power of Rap, or whatever. Pretty dope.

It's a super vibey Album, and is reminiscent of walking down a New York Avenue on a Summer's day. Jazzy, boppy, and upbeat. I really enjoyed the first half of the Album, and keeping the upbeat theme was really pivotal for my tastes. However, I felt it slowly sunk and hit lower in the second half, though the content wasn't to bleak.

Overall, I'd have to say check it out. It's super fun, and really put in a cool perspective to De La Soul.
