...Timberlake, Dr. Dre, Missy Elliot, 50 Cent, The Hives, Fall Out Boy, She Wants Revenge, and even Elton John all pitch in. And that’s just naming a few. Whereas the supporting cast and his beats are both more than listenable, Timbaland’s rapping is sub-par, to say the least. While Missy and Tony Yayo take witty stabs at Britney Spears on separate tracks, Timba’s meager offering includes lines like, “Break bread if you wanna get wit’ me / All I wanna do is dig up in them...
...offer meaningful insight into Stone’s psyche. It leaves this reviewer with two main complaints: the ballads and the lyrics. “Bruised But Not Broken” is the only of the ballads that does Stone’s voice justice. The lyrics are sub-par (“Love ripped me up and tore me down / But baby that ain’t enough to break me”), but the apparent sincerity of the sentiment makes the ballad seem less trite than most of its type.

If your body revolts at the thought of unadulterated vodka or gin, try flavored liquor. The 99 schnapps line (try 99 Oranges) is ideal for such purposes.4. Binoculars. Useful for watching Clifton Dawson’s expressions...
...shooting. Harvard’s captain suffered a rough start to the season, and after a brutal two game stretch in Harvard’s wins over Lehigh and New Hampshire, when he made just 4-of-22 shots, Goffredo’s field-goal percentage stood at a sub-par 34 percent. But the Crimson’s shooting guard has the gunslinger’s mentality you need to overcome poor shooting performances. He entered overtime against New Hampshire having hit just one of his last 12 three-point attempts, but knocked down a huge trey with...
