...misconduct scandal was hardly Kilpatrick's first brush with controversy. At 31, he was the youngest mayor in Detroit's history - alternately dubbed "King Kwame" and the nation's first "hip-hop mayor" - and seemed to embody the glamorous lifestyle of a paparazzi-starved star. He celebrated his inauguration in 2002 with "club crawls" of Detroit's most exclusive bars, later claiming the events were intended to motivate the city's disaffected youth. That he insisted on a 21-person security team drew ridicule from local residents and politicians, who were quick to note that even the mayor of Chicago...

All along, Eminem has griped that neither fans nor foes really understood him. In The Way I Am, a recently released "self-portrait" unmediated by movie avatars...
...skaters were three older women (they had to be at least thirty) practicing double-Dutch. Realizing that our interest was piqued, they invited us to watch their jump roping show. The three butchered nearly every trick they tried, smiling sheepishly and muttering excuses under the beat of their hip-hop soundtrack. At the end of the show they handed us flyers for the jump rope lessons they taught, which we promptly threw out at the next available trash...
