uhh the first skit I can think of is the end of Magic Stick where Lil Kim and 50 Cent pretend to host a radio show for like three minutes. that one sucks pretty bad lmao

my brother made a rap music playlist for a long car drive we went on just because he knew I liked it. he added loads of skits to it as well though lol. oh well it was still a nice gesture

I don't think it is fair to say they are all terrible as a blanket statement. I liked the Chinese food skit on The Score for example, and the torture skit on Enter the 36 Chambers is classic. I think they can be obnoxious, especially if you are not very into the record already, but they are a tradition in the genre and do some setting the scene that you don't otherwise get.

anyway I wasn't sure and I scrolled through a few contemporary rap records looking for you. here's a few

off 2018's Czarface Meets Metal Face

the first 30 seconds of this is it's own track on spotify, so I don't know if you'd call it a skit or just an intro to 96 Nerve Campbell. off clipping.'s 2020 record Visions of Bodies Being Burned

my favorite local rapper just dropped this record Eleutheria this year, there's multiple recorded phone conversations with his friend Omar Aziz who is in prison. Muja credits Omar on the record and expresses an intent to put some of this money from the record aside for Omar's use, in this second link.

in conclusion they are less prevalent than they were in the 80s and 90s but it's still a genre where people feel pretty ok doing their own thing, and why shouldn't they really

I tend to like the skits on Redman albums.

Kool Keith's can get... uncomfortable.



Thank you Pot Smoke Pheonnix for this Kickin' Rad sig

I genuinely enjoy the intro skit to Blackout!


But yeah, I dunno. I don't think Denzel Curry really does skits now that I think about it. Neither does JID. Those are about the only newer rap albums I've listened to.

Is the intro taken from Lone Wolf and Cub for Liquid Swords considered a skit? Because it's fuckin great.

I think that would be considered a sample more than a skit

Somewhere I have a memorex CD-R that I was handed on the streets of chicago circa 2013 by a rapper named OBOK and it was like 90% skits of him talking to Simpsons characters

deep dish peat moss

I'll always remember him approaching me on the street and saying "You like hip hop? Yeah? You like the Simpsons?"

Is that Devin the Dude track that's an alien talking about going to Earth to smoke weed a skit or a song?
