...come to an end. While the openers on his last two albums were effective party-starters, the half-skit, half-rap intro “Warning” is one of those shout-in-your-ear cliché-fests that challenges one’s faith in hip-hop itself. You can almost hear the collective parents of the nation asking, “Is this even music?” In this case, even the most faithful crunkophile might have doubts. What follows are some of the most pathetic tracks ever to cost a label a hundred grand apiece...

As for my own personal taste I'm still a jazz-oriented guy - I was born in 1926, the first half of the century, which was a romantic time and very jazz-oriented, so I still play a lot of that music at the mansion...

During long commutes, there would be moments when the hip-hop and pop stations would be in commercial and the rock station busy fulfilling its hourly quota of Nickelback. In these times, National Public Radio gave me the latest news about all sorts of important things, like endangered species and Iran. It kept me occupied and even, secretly, made me feel mature and wealthy...
