...other artists, but is not elementally derivative. Madchild, who also doubles as producer and head of the group’s label, Battle Axe Records, has a nasal timbre that sounds like a blending of Cypress Hill’s B-Real, and everyone’s favorite caustic caucasian, Marshall Mathers. Prevail’s tone is deeper—perhaps how Dr. Dre’s little brother might sound on the mic. These points noted, the combination is effective, especially when blended with the series of relatively complex beats that ground their rhymes...
Tijuana Ricks and Michael Gillespie have been dating for three years and hope to marry. The African-American Ricks, 23, a Yale-drama grad student, and the Caucasian Gillespie, 29, a chiropractor, always loved the idea of blended-race children. But since Sept. 11, the idea of mixing up America's races has seemed even more urgent.

This young rapper epitomized both the acknowledgement of pop culture with such epic verses as, “Sit me here next to Brittany Spears, shit, Christina Aguillera...
...strangest ways. Gobs of makeup and plastic surgery transformed the onetime teen idol into a ghoulish spectacle, and many found it ironic that the singer would preach “it don’t matter if you’re black or white” while looking increasingly caucasian. The pristine image of Michael Jackson was cracking and fading; he had spoken of his perception once before in Moonwalk, writing “I think I have a goody-goody image in the press, and I hate that.” But as much as the sensitive performer...
