...features a wide array of artists—some not really heard from since before Sigel’s last stint in jail, when his crew dubbed “State Property” dispersed. Yet all the guest spots in the world couldn’t help the sheer disorganization and generally uninspired feel of the album. As Sigel explains on “Hustlas, Haze and Highways,” “Lookin’ for a nigga like Sig’ / Won’t find ‘em / I’m a dinosaur...

...just stirring woks or taking the graveyard shift at convenience stores. More than 80,000 Chinese students are studying at Japanese universities, two-thirds of Japan's total foreign college-student population. Upon graduation, they are entering the Japanese workforce, crowding lucrative fields such as IT and biotech. Sheer numbers work in China's favor; each year Japan graduates 100,000 science majors, while China pumps out 2.5 million...
