...sold more than a million copies, and his follow-up, Life After Death, scheduled to drop on March 25, was the talk of the rap world. Wallace had already landed the cover of the hip-hop magazine the Source, and he was set to have lunch with TIME's pop music critic in a week. Now here he was at a star-studded party in L.A. that Vibe magazine was hosting to celebrate the Soul Train Music Awards on March 9. Actor Wesley Snipes was there. Singer Seal was there. Wallace was floating on good vibes. It was like...

What Hall wanted to do, he says, was create a show in which regular African Americans deal with regular problems, or what he calls "an integrated Friends." White acquaintances pop in and out of the action regularly on Arsenio. But while the cast may be racially balanced, the writing staff is less so.
