...song so universal, it made both gang-bangers and soccer moms dream of better things.’” The fact that my mom used to bump it out of her Dodge Caravan is only further evidence of R’s ability to touch anyone, from hood to the burbs and beyond. With a voice smoother than a $1000 six-ply cashmere sweater and a rapper’s street mentality, Kels has the ability to say what other artists are scared to say.

Thus far, we have little more evidence than one child’s claim against Jackson—two, if we include...

You have to be fresh and sell to an audience that's 16 to 25. They demand that you 'keep it hood,' 'keep it real.'" He says this sadly, but he can't deny responsibility. Today's records show: rap artists are doing...
