Theme Songs #17
Black Sabbath- Black Sabbath
Happy Halloween.
SHREDDING!!! #8
Weird Al shreds with The Roots to form a Super Saiyan God level Polish wedding band. Too bad they didn’t have Tuba Gooding Jr. back then.
The Poor Man’s… #7
Mortal Kombat’s selfie finisher is the poor man’s…
Tekken selfie finisher.
Not only was the Tekken selfie first, it’s the funnier of the two. Tekken goes for silly where Mortal Kombat goes for snarky. The Tekken characters make different expressions based on their individual personalities, Mortal Kombat is the same joke every time. MK gets points for the comment section at the end but it would have been nice if they had different joke comments for everyone.

Empire “Without a Country” (2015)

Result: Terrance Howard’s lawyer has his men on the outside pistol whip Ludacris into submission.
When will you learn Luda? When will you learn?
Unsung Source Material #6
It’s a well known fact that an interpolation of “Good Times” by Chic is the primary sample used in “Rapper’s Delight” by the Sugar Hill Gang.
But what about that intro? It isn’t in “Good Times.” Did the Sugar Hill house band just make it up themselves to give the song an intro and to help differentiate it from the source material? Nope (well possibly to that last part, I don’t know), surprise, it’s more source material. An interpolation of the intro to another disco song; “Here Comes That Sound Again” by Love De-Luxe.
This song was composed by Alan Hawkshaw, who also wrote “The Champ”, one of the most heavily sampled songs in music history. “Here Comes That Sound Again” was Love De-Luxe’s only hit and isn’t really recognized today among classics of the disco era. It doesn’t change the fact that this song goes in, though. I discovered it playing “The Warriors” for PS2, it’s the best song for rumbles.
