Some broadcasters are known best for what they said, not necessarily how they said it. Sure, Harry Kalas, who died on April 13 at age 73, said some great things. His home-run call ("Outta heeeeere!") will never be topped. But more than anybody else, Harry will be remembered for how he said it: with great style and panache...
...parents were from Jamaica, but Christopher Wallace, a.k.a. the Notorious B.I.G., a.k.a. Biggie Smalls, was straight outta Brooklyn. In the mid-'90s, when the hottest, hardest rap came from California, Biggie restored some bicoastal equilibrium with his quadruple-platinum CD Ready to Die. After that, the headlines were mostly police-blotter stuff. In 1996 his ex-friend, then rival Tupac Shakur was shot and killed in Las Vegas.

He analyzes how the violence and rage of NWA’s “Straight Outta Compton” during the crack epidemic changed hip-hop dramatically, leading to the rise of G-funk and East Coast-West Coast rivalries, and ending with hip-hop selling to mostly white audiences. It’s an important story to tell, and Reeves enriches it with humorous, shocking...
...sings about. And if you’re that girl who needs to dump your untrustworthy boyfriend, Alicia Keys can show you how. Dismissing an untrustworthy man on “Go Ahead,” Keys sings, “Go ahead / Go on and get up outta here / Go ‘head baby… / If you think I’m gonna fall for this anymore / Everybody say nah nah nah.” You tell him, girl. Alicia’s strength—along with her determination to overcome adversity and prevail?...
