...would someone in full clown regalia wander--like a child into a war zone--through the streets of a toxic inner city? Is he on a quest for instant martyrdom? No. He's Tommy Johnson, an ex-drug dealer now known as Tommy the Hip-Hop Clown, and he's recruiting some of the best local talent of South Central Los Angeles to help create a frenetic, feel-good style of dance called clowning. Missionaries of optimism, they go about, one clowner says, "making smiles where there were no smiles, laughter where there was no laughter," and turning the meanest...
...only saving grace, for me, on the Media Player, was the audio-only portion of Music Choice, live streaming music channels. There are only a few stations to choose from - R&B and Hip-Hop, Rock, Hit List, Country, '80s and '90s - and you can't skip songs you don't like or anything like that.

...Beatles' White Album with Jay-Z's Black Album, and you get a gray album. "I was cleaning my house at the time," says Burton. "It wasn't my deepest thought ever." Still, he spent three cloistered weeks in his bedroom translating snippets of Beatles music into hip-hop rhythm and synchronizing them with Jay-Z's vocals. Then he burned The Grey Album for a few friends. Within a month, more than 1 million copies had been downloaded from the Internet...
...Lonely, played at Chipmunk speed - arrives, and the song turns into a joke about self-pity. A rare R&B hit with a hint of self-awareness. Goldie Lookin' Chain Self Suicide the funniest track by this intentionally moronic group straight outta Cardiff (yes, it's Welsh hip-hop) celebrates the commercial benefits of suicide with a jaunty clarinet sample and lyrics ("Committed suicide to enhance me career/ It worked for Biggie and Tupac Shakeer") - both rappers were actually killed. Brazilian Girls Don't Stop None of them are Brazilian, and only one is a girl, but this foursome uses...
