Listeners beware of the hip-hop skit, that most horrendous of beasts. For reasons beyond my comprehension, rappers seem compelled to fill their albums with pointless material. When I go to heaven (not likely), or hell (that’s more like it), the first question I’m asking whoever is in charge is why? Why God/Satan, why do these rappers record skits?

Mixtape guru DJ Envy has thrown his considerable production weight behind underground mainstay Red Café for their appropriately titled new release, The Co-Op. The album’s so street it should come with traffic lights, but no skits have ever confused me more than the ones off this album. Let me explain: the skits all involve “MC Death Murder Homicide,” a wack rapper only capable of rhyming about drugs, guns and booty. Pretty easy to figure out the message there…until you listen to Red Café’s rhymes about drugs, guns and booty. Is it a subtle message to listeners that he’s being forced to rhyme about violence to sell records? Or is he saying every other rapper who talks big is fake, except (conveniently) for Red Café and his crew? Sweet jesus I can’t take it anymore, somebody stop these skits before I take a bath with my toaster.
