...eggs in one basket. I figured if I wasn't the best rapper, then I shouldn't completely rely on rap. Will Smith was also a big inspiration. We grew up on the road together and toured a lot. When he went out and got The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, it made us feel like we could...
...That aural-verbal concoction would be startling enough just for a single on Vietnam-era AM radio, where the song hit the top of the pop charts. What's extraordinary is that Theme from Shaft somehow beguiled the Bel Air senior citizens who constitute the Academy membership.

Nevertheless, despite the glamour imposed on him by the celebrity press, the tall, athletic and dirty-blond Monsignor in his clerical black, concentrates on his pivotal but quiet job choreographing papal appearances. And that is how Americans will see him, in a supporting role buoyed by his scene-stealing...
