...anything, 50 Cent is not patient. If he doesn’t like something, he tells you immediately. Exhibit A: the hypnotic “Wanksta,” a bonus cut also featured on the wildly successful 8 Mile soundtrack. Chock-full of thinly veiled jabs at Ja Rule and his label Murder, Inc., “Wanksta” is the latest opus in a complex longtime feud that involves stealing, stabbing, and four stitches. In other words, it’s the perfect song to blare from your shiny black Lexus...

(Europeans travel to Ibiza and return to their soggy homes with a sunny, exotic tune stuck in their heads.) The genius of Ketchup is that its bouncy chorus--"Asereje ja de je de jebe tu de jebere seibunouva/Majavi an de buguni an de buididipi"--means the same thing in Spanish as in English: nothing. The words are a gibberish homage to the opening line of the first rap song, Sugar Hill Gang's 1979 hit Rapper's Delight. America's familiarity with the original...
