...Platinum (UPN, Tuesdays, 9 p.m. E.T.; previews Monday, April 14, 9 p.m. E.T.) accomplishes nothing else, it shows that the hip-hop record business has all these milieus beat: people shoot, get shot, squabble over contracts and end up in the hospital! Straight-arrow Jackson Rhames (Jason George) and his streetwise brother Grady (Sticky Fingaz) have a dream job--running the independent record label Sweetback--but they also have a few problems. Their top act, an Eminem-like white rapper, is a thug, and his last record tanked. If they poach a rival label's star, it could start...
...creator John Ridley (Three Kings) has produced a story about the ascendancy of black pop culture in America, not only among black people, and the ironies that result when the art of the dispossessed goes mainstream.

When Turks first arrived as guest workers in the mid-'60s, they found cheap living space here. Artists, punks and squatters...
Fraught with modern jazz, hip-hop and stomp influences, the show also includes choreography intended to more abstractly express each piece’s theme. “Time” uses the body and tempo to convey imagery of time; at one point the dancers are a clockface and another a pendulum...
This predicament left the savvy coach no choice but to pilfer Harvard’s playing fields just to give his pitchers a mound to throw off. Undeterred by the lack of their own facilties, Walsh and his players would hop the fence and borrow the Crimson’s pitching mounds, tuning their change-ups and slinging their fastballs until dawn (or the athletic director) appeared to chase them off the premises...
