What was the 90's weird obsession with skits?

Only thing I didn't like about skits were when they were put at the start of the song.

So you mean I have wait or fast forward for a minute everytime I wanted to listen to "G.O.D. Pt 3" or "Kick In The Door"

That G.O.D. Pt. III skit always had me when I was younger

This is exactly the album I thought of when reading through the thread. Skits are crucial in making the world building of an album. They set the tone and helps tell the story more, something you may not be able to do in two to three 16-bar verses and hook.

I think more rap albums should have skits, but most albums aren't conceptual enough and I'm not sure if a lot of rappers now can craft an album to do something like that. You essentially have to write the entire concept down on paper and form it out. Skits definitely need to make a comeback.

Masta Ace's Disposable Arts would be an incomplete album without the skits. We'll never get albums like this again

My favorite skit, i still randomly re enact the skit in real life.

 

[FeloniousMonk]

Its because rap had an ENTERTAINMENT factor to add to the albums song or story line..

Compared to this boring ass gang gang music thats spout out today.

 

[MasterOfAllHeSurveyz]

Ohhhh! You let him call you Arsenio.

Jeff!?! He playin' you.

 

[LEEeveryday]

I used to think it was to increase the run-time of the album.

Busta albums had some funny skits too
