...that had a cringe-inducing bit of innuendo? Remember the awkward silence you shared as they tried to figure out if you knew what it meant and you tried to figure out if they knew you knew? Relive that precious moment with Scandalous, in which the spelling-impaired British hip-hop trio drops such lines as "Solid as a rock/How many ways can you hit the spot" over a lush, string-heavy track that is no less great for sounding as if it had been ripped off from Dr. Dre's studio. If the lyrics don't provide sufficient notice...
This generation's business strategies and goals far outpace their parents'. Drunknmunky, for instance, publicizes its popularity with hip-hop acts like Cypress Hill and Linkin Park and sponsors raves and rap concerts. Kim's ambitions include music and video-game production, accessories, bags and shoes. "I'd like to be more of a household brand, not just a clothing company--like [Ralph Lauren's] Polo," he says.

There are cop shows and action shows, series set in casinos and boxing rings. Fox is relying on male-oriented sitcoms like Method & Red, with hip-hop stars Method Man and Redman. NBC unveiled Summer Olympics promos that made swimming and gymnastics look like X Games events, and its midseason sitcom The Men's Room examines male issues and anxieties from what its president of entertainment, Kevin Reilly, says will be a sophisticated perspective. "This...
...FASSIE, 39, South Africa's first globally renowned black pop star; of complications from an asthma attack; in Johannesburg. Called the Madonna of the Townships, the tiny diva was known as much for her hot temper, lesbian affairs and drug abuse as for her music--a pulsating blend of hip-hop, reggae and African rhythms known as kwaito that emerged from South Africa's grim shantytowns in the 1990s...
