...impetus of the Arab caucus and other third-world countries, the ICC will face a torrent of accusations against Israel and the United States. International organizations where small states have as large a role as major powers create comical scenarios such as Syria replacing the U.S. on a Human Rights Commission. The U.S. should not be party to more of this nonsense than it already...

The guest emcees are also a major step up from their previous album, featuring the inimitable Biz Markie on a Tom Tom Club remake, and the combined verbal torrent of Pharoahe Monch, Xzibit and Inspectah Deck on “The X.” Even everyone’s favorite loudmouthed thugs, M.O.P., show up yelling belligerent nonsense on “Let It Bang...
