Not all Wu skits are boring. Not all are bad. Some are integrated into songs and used as story telling devices (look at our mutual friend the Secret World of Walter Reed for evidence of this); and the skits on GFK's 12 Reasons to Die are powerful parts of the album... Not even sure they're skits. Just extended sections of non-musical voice acting, sound effects and narratives.
Liquid Swords has some excellent "skits," esp. if you include the Shogun Assassin sample.
But yeah- there are some doozies. There are moments, even on my precious OB4CL, when it feels like they're trying to break the world record for saying, "Word is bond!" Even when it seems utterly inappropriate, or like a complete non-sequitur.
I like NWA's skits. Snoop's, sometimes. Know who really delivers when it comes to skits? Motherf**kin' OUTKAST. Even if it's just Southern Belles discussing the limited virility of their recent sexual partners, OutKast tends to make distinctly non-fillet skits, and I appreciate that very much.
