Aesop Rock – Blood Sandwich
The world's wordiest rapper has always benefitted from self focus. It's no surprise, then, that his best song is locked in on the bonds of brotherhood via a concert not attended and the little league game from hell.
Biz Markie & Jeff Goldblum – Just a Friend
I was gonna do that last one myself, which suggests I've taken this about as far as it can go

Sir Mix-A-Lot – Baby Got Back
A truly important moment in American history, every bit as important as VE Day yesterday: "Baby Got Back" was released 25 years ago.
2014
Raekwon & the Roots – Incarcerated Scarfaces
We're missing the actually good Minnesota sports team, right? So...here is something from the Wu-Tang member's seminal 1995 album Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... - get it??? (I know it's Sunday, but this is extremely Not Safe For Church, or Work.)
Lizzo – Lift Every Voice and Sing/Good as Hell
Happy to see Lizzo blowing up lately.
2016
(uhh, kinda FZ, I guess)
Janelle Monáe – Q.U.E.E.N.
Here's somebody who was in not one, but two Oscar-nominated flicks, including the real actual Best Picture winner. Look at me being all super-timely.
Chance the Rapper – No Problem
This guy won some Grammys too, right? Cause he's, you know, "new" and stuff.
A Tribe Called Quest – We the People….
Not the performance from just the other night, but close enough.
