This change never comes though; he simply rehashes the abstract rhyme-isms of Q-Tip or C.L. Smooth without the wit or the novelty. “I’m like a faucet, monopoly’s the object/There ain’t no way to cut this tap, you gotta get wet/Your head is throbbin’ and I ain’t said shit yet.” In fact, he never really does say anything. The chorus is a funky yet meaningless refrain: “We got the Hot-Hot Music, the Hot Music...

...Obviously what we’re doing now [to attract undergraduates] is not achieving what we’d like it to,” she said.

...conglomeration of gently swaying silicone hangs delicately suspended from the ceiling. “This deals with detachment from the body; understanding the body exists in the physical, but also in other ways,” Ofri Gilan, a second year GSD student, explains.
