...past, but watch the fancy video for their new single, “Back Again,” carefully. Those props did not pay for themselves. There is money in the underground, and “20/20,” the latest from Rakaa, Evidence, and DJ Babu, is a product of a group that wants (and has) the money it knows it should push away. Evidence still raps about wack MCs on the radio (“The game’s fucked a thousand sound-alikes it’s sad”), and he still raps about...

The recent fame of modern Sherpa climbers like Apa Sherpa, who has reached the summit 11 times, and Babu Chiri Sherpa who, before he was killed in 2001, completed a speed ascent in less than 17 hours, rests on decades of accumulated knowledge and sacrifice by the Sherpas who came before them: men like Tenzing Norgay, who braved the slopes seven times before becoming, along with Edmund Hillary, the first...
