In their rough-and-ready way, the Jamestown settlers had planted the seeds of a dynamic system, democratic capitalism, along with...

While Missy and Tony Yayo take witty stabs at Britney Spears on separate tracks, Timba’s meager offering includes lines like, “Break bread if you wanna get wit’ me / All I wanna do is dig up in them kidneys.” The less Timbaland exerts his lyrical presence, the more comfortable the listener is.
