...viewers are bombarded by ads from the state's two Senate candidates, Democrat Mark Pryor and the incumbent, Republican Tim Hutchinson. Since airtime can be bought relatively cheaply in this poor, rural state, local folks are seeing more political ads this year than just about anyone elsewhere. Democrats rap Hutchinson on corporate responsibility. Republicans call Pryor a tax raiser. And on it goes. Each side is pouring millions into the race; President Bush has been here four times to bolster first-term Hutchinson. The contest is too close to call...
...mixer, /rupture communicates through layered grooves. An ideal selector who skirts boundaries rather than being confined within them, he builds bridges between musical cultures as only a good DJ can, articulating forgotten connections while suggesting unforeseen ones.

While it has long been suspected that Shakur was a victim of feuding between East Coast and West Coast rappers and their affiliated gangs, the Times dropped a bit of a bombshell by placing Notorious B.I.G. at the scene of the crime. The paper says that B.I.G., one of Shakur...
...more than Eve, and that's saying something. Male rappers use it all the time as an ostensibly neutral term for all women besides their mothers (or, in the case of Eminem, all women). But on her new CD, Eve-Olution (Interscope), the Philadelphia-bred queen of Top 40 rap applies it to herself and with fervid conviction. Eve sings about being a bitch the way Bob Marley sang about being a Rastafarian: it's what her album is about...
