As an individual with an admitted bias against rap, I must
interject my loathing for this particular reworking of
"Kashmir".  No, I'm not shouting 'blasphemy' because someone
ruined a classic Zep song or anything like that, it's
something much more annoying.

It really irks me that someone - *anyone* - can interject so
many "Yeah"s and "Uh-huh"s into a song and still think he's
so cool.  It was unnecessarily foolish.

"Uh-huh. ... Yeah. ... Uh-huh. ... Yeah. ... Uh-huh. ...
Yeah. ... Uh-huh. ... Yeah. ... Check dis out!" - Puff Daddy

"Dammit!  I forgot the freakin' lyrics again." - Puff Daddy
to self, while reciting his mantra, which is supposedly to
be kept a secret, though the whole nation knows it by now
