[Despicable]

My favorite album

[EminemInsider]

Well, if you want a classic piece of art from Louis CK, "Chewed Up."

George Carlin, "Jammin' in New York."

I think Doin It Again (1990) was Carlin's SSLP. That moment in the closing bit about "soft language" where he goes, "poor people used to live in slums. Now the economically disadvantaged occupy substandard housing in the inner cities" was the equlivalent to Eminem in Brain Damage going, "then I got up and ran to the janior's storage booth. Kicked the door hinge loose and ripped out the four-inch screws. Grabbed some sharp objects, brooms, and foreign tools. This is for every time you took my orange juice."

You're just sitting in awe of the fact that you're listening to a genius. It seems to me like the audience may have been as stunned as I was during that whole bit...like they were aware they were witnessing something classic.
