Yeah...it was, maybe he didn't see the part where I said "to poop on". It was a bad joke. I tend to say something retarded when everyone is being serious. "Stick'em up", then I spend the next hour explaining my sense of humor to the bank security.
I can't really contribute any knowledgeable debate on subjects like this so I just say some dumbness. I would have dropped names like Talib Qwali and Mos Def and Black Thought and Tash and Camron and O.C. and Canibus and you can bet someone would have had a heart attack and slip into a blind rage off the sheer contrast of such a list. The word "greatest" encompasses way to wide a definition among so many people that it is a hopeless debate.
Even today, you can say Michael Jordan was the "greatest" and somebody will say "sure, right after Magic Johnson".
