Again and again on this CD, Nas raps about struggle and loss. Originally he recorded--then dropped from the album--a soulful, introspective song about growing up poor called Project Windows; here's hoping he will include it on a future album.

"[Smalls and I] were supposed to meet the night he died," says Nas. "I can't forget Biggie and Pac--they made it possible for rap music to blow...

You can even connect your old 8-mm camera to the Digital8, convert your old analog Aunt Sonya movies to digital and inflict them on future generations.

This is a short CD--in typically spare Strait fashion, there are just 10 songs--but that's all you need to get you by. If you're looking to take a country jaunt, riding shotgun with Strait is a good...
...gets more girls, gold and glory than its other big rival, professional corporate futurology. Corporate trend spotting, after all, is limited to gizmos that might conceivably make someone money. Science fiction, in its sleep and entirely by accident, makes absurd amounts of money: SF films, comic books, action figures, CD-ROMs, computer games, chrome cards, costumes--there...
