...attack on Iraq, and a recurring theme in their complaints is the danger of a violent backlash sparked by a U.S. attack on an Arab country while the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains hot. U.S. mediation between Israel and the Palestinians has become a litmus test among Arabs of U.S. bona fides in the Middle East. That was the reason the first Bush administration leaned heavily on the Israelis before and after the Gulf War, threatening to cut funding if Israel persisted in expanding its West Bank settlements and cajoling the Shamir government into diplomatic negotiations with the Palestinians.

A bona fide emcee, J-Live grips the mic with the fire of a hungry artist and the self-assuredness of a professional. He flows like liquid, but his voice resonates with urgency and charisma. His songs are rife with lyrical invention: “One For The Griot” seems like a typical storytelling rap until someone in the studio complains about the violent ending, prompting him to rewind?...
