Scroll down here for the Top 100 Albums they've been counting down over the last few weeks, so you can see which artists they're getting to (but not which album cut).
UPDATE: "If I can't hear a rap about a woman's heavy period in the morning I'm not up yet," says Crack, highlighting the line in the song that jumped out at me: "My attitude is bitchy, cuz my period is heavy." That's Missy Elliot (in "Funky Fresh Dressed").
Then they were talking about this blog and the commenters here, specifically what's going on in the comments on yesterday's Hurricane Carter post. The verb "to spew" is deployed.
Now, they are making fun of people who like Bruce Springsteen, who's next up on the countdown. "The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle” is #51, and Ray said he picked the cut he picked because it's the shortest.
UPDATE 2: They spend a lot of time talking about the extreme ugliness of Joe Jackson, who Crack said, elicits gasps from the live audience who have seen photographs but are still stunned at the real thing.
UPDATE 3: The topic is The Rolling Stones and Crack says "Brown Sugar" is "one of the most racist songs ever." Why does that get "a pass"? Ray asks if they have "a ghetto pass," and Crack's answer is "Jagger got big lips." They proceed to discuss whether other big-lipped stars have "a ghetto pass" and they are emphatic that the answer is no for Carly Simon and yes for Steven Tyler.
UPDATE 4: Crack sort of tries to read this comment from me (in the comments on this post):
Crack, a sometime commenter, goes on the radio, I blog about that, people comment, then Crack on the radio talks about the comments, and I comment in the comments about Crack the commenter on the radio commenting on the comments. Now, if they talk about that on the radio it's the ultimate new media moment.So that must have been it, the ultimate new media moment. Have you achieved transcendence?
I'm still waiting for Crack to pronounce my name right. He seems to enjoy saying "Outhouse," even as Ray spells my name and questions the pronunciation. But Crack proceeds to mention Meade's blog, so that's nice.
That's "Bandit the Border Collie." And I've got to walk back "ultimate new media moment," because for me the ultimate and endless new media moment is Meade.
UPDATE 5: Crack announces that he's got a job in case you are "emotionally invested in that." And he says that the picture of the dog that I put embedded in Update 4 is the very same one he'd just shown to Uncle Ray. The races are in alignment, says the Ebony-and-Ivory dog, Bandit.

Maybe the podcast later, Crack.
Why do you endorse and promote a hater like Crack?
I think it's wonderful that Crack has a "well to do", "white privileged" fellow that Crack does not accuse of mass murder very often.
It's the little victories.
Still pandering and promoting the racist. Shame on you.
The Prophet Crack is back.
The new age cults and the medical fraudsters were in big trouble, and now the see no evil white racists are feeling the heat too.
Free speech and the internet do it up right at Althouse.
I would listen but I'm too busy oppressing black people.
@Drago Did you hear them talking about you?
Now, they are singing at Gahrie to "look in the mirror."
This is one of the most meta- things ever on the blog.
Crack, a sometime commenter, goes on the radio, I blog about that, people comment, then Crack on the radio talks about the comments, and I comment in the comments about Crack the commenter on the radio commenting on the comments. Now, if they talk about that on the radio it's the ultimate new media moment.
I think it is way cool that a Wisconsin, Wisconsin!!, law professor knows a black person and sometimes speaks with them and has rows with them and patched things up and maybe even provided some support beyond the moral support I am sure is supplied, across the board, to black people everywhere. Plus, the black person gives as good as he gets, or at least sort of, in the form of "shout outs" to the law professor. Metametameta.
And Crack is a "sometime" commenter.
Alas. You actually could make all this up. Easily.
AA: "@Drago Did you hear them talking about you."
No. I listened late after the last show.
You know, after my dixiecrat meeting and mandatory lynching.
Where does the time go?
I wonder if Crack is a Gallagher fan. He was making cracks like "Does Joe Jackson HAVE to be in his videos?" 30 years ago.
Uncle Ray and Crack added Althouse's Meta moment in again...and gave Meade's great Blog of Dog Pics a shout out too.
Wow!
If Steven Tyler gets a pass, it's not because of his lips, but because of Run DMC.
Gahrie must look in the mirror because Whitey is alwasys racist and it's racist of Whitey to claim that someone not white is racist.
When I look into a dog's face, I see the face of God.
Very good news that Crack has a job. Presumably he will keep his ideas to himself there.
Crack will be exceptionally pleased, no doubt, to see that the teaching of fake black history is being expanded to include all subjects in the Chicago Public school system!
Hooray for false scholarship!!!
http://dailycaller.com/2014/04/21/see-what-theyll-be-teaching-in-the-chicago-public-schools/
But at least it makes some folks feel better about themselves.
I wonder if Ann has the courage to look at this curriculum and call it precisely what it is?
For a better takedown of this "Black Athena" et al nonsense, take a stroll thru "Not Out of Africa" by Mary Lefkowitz.
Sorry crack, that last wasn't meant for you. I wouldn't want your head to explode.
AA: "The races are in alignment, says the Ebony-and-Ivory dog, Bandit."
Look to the cookie!!

I'm still waiting for Crack to pronounce my name right. He seems to enjoy saying "Outhouse," even as Ray spells my name and questions the pronunciation.
I was saying your name with the "L" accented.
How is it pronounced? With a hard "A"?
Michael,
"Very good news that Crack has a job. Presumably he will keep his ideas to himself there."
Nope - they aren't racists - I can speak freely.
That's how it's supposed to work in America,...
I'm not emotionally invested, but it's always good for a man to have a job.
No snark. It's just the truth.
It's unusual – perhaps even unique – to see a blogger troll her commenters, rather than the other way around.
Drago: "Not Out of Africa" is one of the most brutal take downs of an academic fraud ever written.
The whole thesis that ideas can be stolen, leaving the victims idea-less, is preposterous on its face and a rich field for mockery.
Crack's comment about having a job is remarkable. Who does he think is "emotionally invested" in the totally boring question of whether some hateful Internet maven is employed?
Moreover, even if there were such a person -- someone who actually feels emotional about whether this particular hateful bigot has a job -- why would Crack want to humor this person by announcing he's employed? He's so in-your-face about his racism and hatred, but he feels embarrassed about the prospect of not working?
Remarkable indeed.
"The races are in alignment, which is why I'm wearing this genetically created unremovable mask," says Bandit.
Isn't Brown Sugar an account of the history that Crack embraces??
Doesn't Brown Sugar pale when compared against misogyny espoused in many recent rap songs??
The Crack goes on and on about the racism in yesterday's comments on the occasion of the death of Hurricane Carter. I read the comments just now and fail to see what he was referring to. I suppose it is fine to slander the entire commentariat and intentionally slur the hostess by demeaning her blog as an Outhouse. Not exactly a display of gratitude. But then slavery.

"How is it pronounced? With a hard "A"?"
Pronounce the "alt" as you would in the common English words with that letter combination: salt, malt, halt…
And the names: Walt and Galt.
Not like the "al" in "gal" or "pal."
Like the "alt" in "paltry."
Crack:
Of course it does. Start calling your bosses racists and see how America works.
Professor:
He knows how to pronounce your name.

Altidtude is a common English word with that letter combination...
It's racist to have a post w/ a black man and dogs. Dogs represent oppression to black men. And, black people are notoriously mean to dogs because of that. Some dog shelters have a gentlemen's agreement to not let black men adopt dogs. This is a very racially insensitive post.
Althouse: Crack, a sometime commenter, goes on the radio, I blog about that,
Why?
Curious George: I would listen but I'm too busy oppressing black people.
We have no blacks around here to oppress, just (feather, not dot) Indians. An hour ago, two were having brunch in our kitchen with my GF and I oppressed them from across the room - they didn't even know it!
Did your friends ever call you Outhouse? It seems to annoy you, which (at least for boys) would be an incentive to use that pronunciation.
Michael,
"The Crack goes on and on about the racism in yesterday's comments on the occasion of the death of Hurricane Carter. I read the comments just now and fail to see what he was referring to."
Which was exactly my point - you can't see yourselves. You worship a history, without that long annoying part, and you think you got it when you don't.
The 400 year leader in oppression by violence is now declaring blacks the bad guys and you still don't catch the irony.
Gather 'round, white men, and discuss the niggers that got away from the rule of law - without mentioning a single white man who, for 400 years, did as they pleased with impunity all thew way up to my birth and beyond.
You're a joke - as Americans,...,...
As an emotional investor, I say congrats on the job, Crack.
Crack: "Nope - they aren't racists - I can speak freely.
That's how it's supposed to work in America,..."
Brendan Eich was unavailable for comment.
Why promote the antics of that asshole professor? As a means of keeping him out of your comments perhaps? Go figure.
Fernandinande,
"We have no blacks around here to oppress, just (feather, not dot) Indians. An hour ago, two were having brunch in our kitchen with my GF and I oppressed them from across the room - they didn't even know it!"
I gather your "kitchen" is a restaurant?
The topic is The Rolling Stones and Crack says "Brown Sugar" is "one of the most racist songs ever."
When I was a kid I used to spoon brown sugar. Just put it in a spoon and eat it straight. Never tried that with white sugar. Not once!
I'm suspicious of that white sugar. It's too rich!
I actually pronounce "Crack" as "Crick."
It's a Western Pennsylvania thing.
"He fell into the crick."
"She's not Apache, she's Crick."
If you expect Crack to pronounce things correctly, you are axing for a lot.
Pronounc althouse like the alt in Cntrl +Alt + Del.
I don't mind Crack but "Uncle Ray" is intolerable. Judas Priest, another rich white boy wanting to be black.
He's down for the struggle and doesn't like Springteen and Elvis. He's an honorary Black man.
Good God.
Crack: "The 400 year leader in oppression by violence..."
LOL
Nope.
The 400 year leader in oppression by violence was won in just 90 years by your pals on the marxist left.
It's a shame this is a history of yours and those with your ideology and you just can't see it.
Look in the mirror!!
And see what your philosophy has wrought. Or don't.
Althouse is in decline. Too much reliance on NYT articles, too much pedantry, too much CE.
Crack -- You're full of hate. It's as inappropriate to speak of "white men" all doing such-and-such as it would be to speak of the things that all black men do. Because there aren't any, because black men, like white men, are humans whose actions aren't determined by their race.
It's not astounding that you have to be told this -- you're a bigot, and bigots tend not to be able to see outside their limited worldview. What's astounding is that Ann keeps promoting you.
Maybe you should start describing how Ann and her family benefit from white privilege, and it MIGHT cause her to realize that you're as poisonous as the other commenters who went after her family on homosexual issues. More so, if anything, because your weird rantings are more uniformly hateful.
DS
Crack is running what is known as the long con. He is able to attract a certain generous following among those who do not criticize, or who keep it off line, in exchange for his declaration that they are not racists.
He is not full of hate, DS. Guile, yes. Hatred not so much.
It's unusual – perhaps even unique – to see a blogger troll her commenters, rather than the other way around.
She's done it before...she'll do it again.
I'm beginning to feel a bit masochistic. How about some black leather on the profile pic?
He's down for the struggle and doesn't like Springsteen and Elvis.
Crack likes Elvis. Called him the King!
I should not put "crack" and "Elvis" in the same sentence because then I think fat Elvis and dying on a toilet. That is not a good way to die, in my opinion.
My top three ways to die
1) in my sleep
2) orgasm heart attack
3) Russian spy stabs me in the middle of sex and I keep going like a damn praying mantis
"Althouse is in decline. Too much reliance on NYT articles, too much pedantry, too much CE."
When didn't I rely on the NYT? That's one of the most consistent things about this amazingly consistent blog. I think you're being subjective. Check your work (she says, pedantically).
rcocean,
"I don't mind Crack but "Uncle Ray" is intolerable. Judas Priest, another rich white boy wanting to be black.

Good God."
Wow - you just made all that up on the spot, in your own delusional mind, didn't you?
Some white people are incredible talents,...
I'm obviously not smart enough to see what makes Crack Emcee an interesting topic. I've never seen anything interesting or original in him and don't get Althouse's frequent promotion.
I guess I'm racist.
The Macho Response Blog has been a extremely creative in use of visuals and interesting materials for many years.
I guess Crack hires out the creative stuff to white guys so he can sing and dance more.
Seriously, Crack is a good guy who expresses his ideas clearly and with a friendly attitude.
