...Eternity: in the day-to-day digs through the crates--or the racks at Tower--there are few musical phenomena that bring more smiles than a well-liked rhymer who comes back with skills out his ass. De La's Trugoy managed it in Stakes is High, as does Lord Jamar in Brand Nubian's newest, Foundation...
...Lord Jamar and Derrick--now Sadat--X weren't respected: their memorable appearances on Tribe's "Show Business" and Diamond D's "A Day in the Life" still get props. And how ridiculous is "Punks Jump Up to Get Beat Down," Brand Nubian's first post-Grand Puba & DJ Alamo single, to this day? Play it at your girl's birthday party, and everybody'll get open, guaranteed (as long as they're old enough...

...Lord, 65, lies withering from cancer, aware that death is near, the memory that floats back is not from any of her three marriages. Rather, it is of Lord's first love, a passionate affair with a young doctor that lasted only the length of a friend's weekend wedding festivities. While Lord's four children maintain a death watch, she relives every minute of that fateful weekend and encounters snippets of memory from other points in her life that flesh out the affair's consequences. In her powerful third novel Susan Minot mesmerizes with her convincing evocation of Lord...
