...issue of the New Republic, is a corporate decision by Master P, 29, ne Percy Miller. The Louisiana native moved his No Limit Records from locations in Los Angeles and New Orleans last year and is building a large recording studio. No Limit is the nation's top-grossing rap label, with more than $200 million in revenues, and Master P runs a multifaceted empire that dabbles in everything from toys to film to travel. The $56.5 million he earned last year from the company and his own rap recordings ranks him 10th on Forbes' list of the highest-paid...
High school grads Alice (Claire Danes) and Darlene (Kate Beckinsale) lark off to Thailand, where they get framed on a heroin rap. The dank, formulaic script allows few of the moral ambiguities of 1998's Return to Paradise (there the country was Malaysia, and the American prisoner sort of guilty). The tale also has little of the pulpy juice of the B-movies Kaplan made in the '70s. The only guilty pleasure is watching Danes' wildly noble emoting. Her tears are as strong as a porn queen's orgasm...
Beatty's passion for policy resurfaced with Bulworth, a movie whose depressive Senator-hero first arranges his own assassination and then, with nothing to lose but his hypocrisy, starts spouting truth-telling rap songs about corruption.

Skeptics abound, of course, but one crucial...
...overtly hilarious, and like a cartoon, the play organizes its humor into episodic bursts. Each "play" (like Romeo and Juliet) or group of plays (like the Comedies) is distinctly hilarious and could easily stand on its own as a short skit. The Titus Andronicus cooking show, the Othello rap, and the Histories football game were each side-splittingly funny...
This hip-hop duo, like many other hard-core rap groups, writes songs about urban violence, street bravado, felonious gunplay, "baby fathers" and friends slain young. The music beneath Mobb Deep's lyrics, however, is oddly restful. The contrast between the jagged lyrics and the smooth rhythms that propel them gives the group's new record a thoughtful quality and a hard-to-resist listenability. One feels immersed and insulated...
