Hey, if I didn't enjoy Hk! so much, I wouldn't have bothered. Nobody I
know talks like that either. Talk about wanting to actually meet some of
these cats- I just sit here sometimes and wonder what kind of hair you
people have.

I have a track on Instinct's "King Of The Jungle Vol.1 (20 Bass Bumpin'
Jungle Phatties!)" that has some ragga MC rhyming about having nothing
to do on a Friday night or some such (heavy empathy from my Knoxville
boys for that sentiment) and he says "Oh My Gosh" in a truly impassioned
manner every time the beat breaks. One of my all time faves...
