...thoroughly endearing as the Beauty to Klyce’s Beast, capturing each of her songs with a soulfulness that can make even the most comedic of numbers heart-wrenching. Her only shortfall comes with the uncomfortable rhythm of “Whatcha Wanna Do?” a rap duet that neither she nor her partner, Jonathan Finn-Gamino ’12 as her temporary love interest Rick Taylor, can salvage; the initial idea itself is not doomed, however, and it’s a number that could be fun if only they could get hold...
Meanwhile, over in California, the Marin Composting Portable Odorless Outhouse Project, a.k.a. MCPOOP, is doing Klehm one better. The goal of MCPOOP (which is pronounced the Irish way as opposed to the rap-star way) is to get the government into the night-soil business and put humanure toilets in county parks and town squares.

Nonetheless, 50 does make an effort at trying something new. The album’s lead single, “Baby by Me,” is a nod at the new synth-laden, auto-tuned electronic-rap that currently is dominating the hip-hop charts. A fast-talking Fiddy avoids subtlety, giddily rapping “Have a baby by me, baby! Be a millionaire” and “you can feel every inch of it when we intimate / I’ll use my tongue baby, I’ll leave you sprung baby...
