...Cube’s whackedout cousin, cranking out curveball rap that was the jungle gym to N.W.A’s roughhouse. After a psilocybin-and-videogames induced hiatus, he gifted hip-hop with the formation of his Oakland based funk-rap group Hieroglyphics. A few years later he joined forces with kitsch producer Dan the Automator and DJ Kid Koala to churn out the futuristic cult classic “Deltron...
...it’s true: Del’s bobble-head rap is a style really without equal in the hip hop world. This might partly be due to the fact that nobody else in the game could really pull off starting one of their tracks with a vocal interpretation of themselves taking a shit (and then reminding themselves to wash their hands), but more likely it’s that nobody else could do it quite so naturally.

The best part of “Cultural Rhythms,” however, was not a single act by one performance group, but rather the finale, when...
...with the Kroks, and turned his back on black culture.The same category doesn’t really exist within the white community. A white kid wearing a G-Unit t-shirt may get snickered at on the street, but he’s still white. The fact that hip-hop (and, by extension, mainstream black culture) is embraced by non-black Americans has become undeniable. Hip-hop, then, is not dead, as rapper Nas recently claimed; it’s alive and well and dominating Top 40 radio. Where once the scope of black music’s influence...
