January is Kool Keith quote month, for lack of anything else:
"I never hearda you stupid, what's your name man??"
"Rappers don't know, I'm out the hospital/ cold buggin' and illin' like Dr. Doolittle"
"I'll chew your ass like monkeys on Wild Kingdom"
"you call yourself GOD, can you make it rain?/ can you tell me now what I'm thinkin' in my brain?"
"under your arms, you're kickin power and musty"
"word to mom, I'm in my own world.../ galaxy raaaaaays... powerful"
