Rap

Not too long ago, former G-Unit member, The Game, made a mixtape song aptly titled "300 Bars and Runnin" "300 Bars and Runnin" is a follow-up to "200 Bars and Runnin". A typical rap verse prolongs for 16 bars and theres usually 3 verses a song, so 48 bars total a song. Now rapping for 200 or 300 bars is not something most rappers can or would want to do.

Now for the question:
The titles of the two said songs were inspired by another song title. What was the song that inpired those two titles and who did that song.


8 Miles and Running - Jay-z and Freeway.

In the interest of keeping this thread organized, I'll just answer my own question and let JOE_Greezy have the floor.

The artist was DJ Keoki and he used sound clips from Speed Racer to make an electronica "porn mix" titled...Speed Racer.

Sorry, but it's been 5 days, time for a take over.

This should be extremely easy.
The phrase "Bling Bling" originated from what song by what artist(s)?

guess I'll go again.

Category: Classic Rock/Soundtrack.

This song, by Paul McCartney was originally going to be played over the ending credits of the movie Vanilla Sky starring Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, and Cameron Diaz. However, in the end he wrote a completely original song aptly called "Vanilla Sky" to be played over the credits instead. What was the name of the song that was originally going to be used for the ending credits?

Who is Gene Hoglan, Alex. (Gene has also appeared in Strapping Young Lad, Old Man's Child, and the band of anyone else who does vaguely technically challenging metal and is willing to pay him in tacos.)

Another metal question, but easier for people not familiar with the style to guess, in the hopes of getting more general discussion:

Iced Earth has a legendarily unstable lineup, but one position is particularly fungible; name the part of the lineup that has *never* seen a full member of the band play on two consecutive records.
