Litt, 46, is in fighting trim. In November he won a hard-fought case against former technology investor (and longtime opera fan) Alberto Vilar, who was convicted of stealing his investors' money.

One thing that can be completely ruled out, however, is the possibility of Common’s sex object getting any literal sugar of her own: her trim physique is of utmost importance, and her only job is to “sweat like [she] was losin’ pounds.” Common certainly has more technical ability than other rappers making generic club music, but on “Universal Mind Control,” any rhythmic complexity in his delivery is completely negated...
