...Chow ’07 of Ramaswamy’s rapper alter-ego. Though “Da Vek” raps libertarian prose with the utmost of ease, don’t expect to see him in section. The rapper, who fearlessly showed off his skills at the Busta Rhymes concert in spring 2004, only emerges when Ramaswamy is outfitted entirely in black, complete with a black Kangol hat. “They’re two completely different people,” says Chow. When “Da Vek” goes into hiding...
...even with the cash leftover from previous years’ surpluses, there simply wasn’t enough funding to throw a party the size of, say, last spring’s Yardfest. (The Office of the President was generous enough to pay for that spring’s Busta Rhymes concert.) So, the UC called a referendum to ask for permission to raise the termbill fee to $75, with proponents of the raise touting “a better Harvard” through more campus-wide events, and such social events were the sole goal of the extra cash...

Pussycat Dolls “Beep” Dir. Benny Boom The Pussycat Dolls’ M.O. for “Beep” is similar to that for their debut single “Don’t Cha”; a rapper—then Busta Rhymes, now Will.I.Am—acting as a sidekick to the lead (read: only) singer Nicole, while the other five Dolls decorate the space behind her with booty-shaking, body rolls, and yet more booty-shaking. The video gradually works its way towards the hot dance scenes, first showing the five...
