can someone Identify all the instrumentals?
This was before Chappelle's Show (2003-06) and it ran from 2000-01 and I remember catching some reruns at random super late night time slots later on
www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gSMh2zn6tU
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lyricist_Lounge_Show
It blended sketch comedy with rappers with poetry people over sometimes real rap instrumentals, it was entertaining as hell but the show ended after 2 seasons. (I'm not sure if the heads looked the numbers and canceled it or the show was waaay too early for the MTV audience to get because you see skits on youtube like this all the time and this show needs a reboot because it was DONE SO WELL...super creative and sometimes better than creative rap concepts)...they never came out with a DVD box set for the show and there are various sparse recordings of it online
The name itself is mad confusing because "lyricist lounge" is a group en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyricist_Lounge , which had albums under the same name en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyricist_Lounge,_Volume_One (www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqd6cAJy-xk&list=PL6738F0A3A57F38C6) and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyricist_Lounge_2 (www.youtube.com/watch?v=-81oHIESvQ8&list=PLGlwrh2XgkhjiFRQbYv_Fdpyod8sgwsM0), but Lyricist Lounge the show also hosted people from the group, but the albums were not soundtracks to the show, it was more like the show was inspired by those 2 albums the group put out...lyricist lounge is also some internet show nowadays and that name gets reused and intertwined all over the place
I haven't heard that Master Fuol name in ages and I wonder what happened to that cat, he had some style and mad rhymes and a lot of the characters on the show disappeared after the show and didn't make appear on record or blew up after that
anyways, here is the collection of what that show was about, enjoy (they do get taken down over time, so you know what you need to do to preserve them) help me out with identifying all the instrumentals used...I'm not sure if the show used any instrumentals from the Lyricist lounge albums but we can uncover some lost gems here: the sketches I don't think have official names so people post and name them randomly based on what they see

can someone Identify all the instrumentals?
...it's so hard cataloging all these episode snippets when no one has the full collection so that it goes in order...there are some cringey non-rap sketches in between and we can skip those but the rhyming sketches and the freestyles were hype...lemme know if you can help identify all the instrumentals and maybe put the shows in the order of the seasons and episodes...otherwise, do some more digging on sketches I haven't found yet and enjoy the sketches, thanks
