...with so many other things, the inauguration of President Barack Obama has people hoping that these kinds of questions will be more aggressively addressed than they were over the past eight years. Even during the most heated days of the fall campaign, neither candidate went so far as to promise longer life in exchange for a vote. But a smart environmental policy could deliver just that...
...mixed-race President, Obama literally embodies a changing culture. Every stand-up routine about the differences between black folks and white folks is visibly lamer than it already was.

The following year, when Biggie made an incursion onto L.A. turf to promote his new album, he was shot and killed. (Neither murder was officially solved.) In 2003 Shakur got a zazzy docutribute, Tupac: Resurrection. Now comes Biggie's biopic. It's like the Day the Music Died for rhyming street punks...
