Hope you know also these two comp... hempilations.

 

I did not, thanks. I would guess that there is a fair amount of relevant reggae that a connoisseur could shed light upon ( hint, hint 😉). On another note, I've noticed  a massive cargo of relevant rap and hip-hop. I'll probably lean toward old-timey stuff like this:

 

 

 

...and tumbleweed, naturally  🐮

Lil Green - Knockin' Myself Out 1941

 

 

 

Listen girls and boys, I've got one stick
Give me a match and let me take a whiff quick
I'm gonna knock myself out, Yes I'm gonna kill myself
I'm gonna knock myself out, gradually by degrees

I started blowing my gauge and I was having my fun
I spotted the police and I started to run
I was knocking myself out, Yes I was killing myself
I was knocking myself out, gradually by degrees

But the very moment I looked around
My mind said "Bliss throw that gauge on the ground"
The police passed and said "Kill yourself", the police passed and said "Kill yourself"
He said "Knock yourself out Bliss, gradually by degrees"

I used to didn't blow gauge and drank nothing of the kind
My man quit me and I changed my mind
That's why I knock myself out, Yes why I kill myself
I knock myself out, gradually by degrees

I know that blowin' this jive is a sin and a shame
It's the only thing that eases my heart about my man
Is when I knock myself out, Lord when I kill myself
I just knock myself smack out, gradually by degrees
