Yeah, I get that point of view, too. I guess I'm more of a "if you can't get your point across in a 4-minute song and need a 1-minute skit to supplement it then screw your intended tracklist" kinda guy
This is true, too. I don't mind the Prince Paul since it's supposed to be an aural movie or whatever. But even with that one, when you remove the skits, you still get the full story. And the De La Soul skits are great. But I still prefer my skit-less versions
. If I want the full experience, I can always listen to the CD or streaming. Vinyl is hard cause you can't just skip them easily. Like, I don't want to hear Biggie get serviced every time before I listen to Friend of Mine.
