...jerseys--like a 1970s mustard yellow and brown number from the San Diego Padres. He liked what he saw. Combs wore 10 of the jerseys, sold by Philadelphia-based sports-nostalgia company Mitchell & Ness, at different times during the American Music Awards last year. Rappers like Bow Wow and Snoop Dogg followed, choosing royal blue 1960s L.A. Lakers duds for videos and concerts. Now Reuben Harley, 29, Mitchell & Ness's marketing director (and the man who met with Combs), says the jerseys have helped boost the company's annual sales to $25 million in 2002 from just $2.8 million...
With the possible exception of Eminem and a few veteran rappers like Snoop Dogg, it just seems like music has become a means to an end rather than art for art’s sake.

On the best nights, it's like a party on the verge of going out of control, as when Kimmel, Carolla and rapper Snoop Dogg - all drinking vodka on camera - deep-fried a ventriloquist's dummy and an audience member's watch during a cooking segment. And what Kimmel lacks in smoothness, he makes up for in audacity. It's unlikely another late-night host would casually ask Snoop if O.J. was innocent or guilty, or ask rap mogul Master...
...also been stabbed, done time and sold crack. It's no wonder his debut album, Get Rich or Die Trying, out last week, is expected to sell 500,000 copies and enter the Billboard Top 200 at No. 1 in its first five days of release. A decade after Snoop Dogg put out an album while prepping for a murder trial, blending gunplay and wordplay remains rap's most potent marketing strategy. But what makes 50 rap's hottest act (he has two songs in the Top 20) is more than his resume. He happens to be very good, particularly...
