...instances of Jamar's poetry in motion that have me feeling ultra transcend these conventional schemes, where you can notice he actual format and where he breaks it up, as in "Straight OuttaNow Rule": "A lot of y'all n*ggas is 85th/ on someshady sh*t/ bark is much worse than your bite likea baby pit/ in the pitch dark of the night youafraid to get exposed/like the sunlight which rosein the morning/ froze in a gunfight." OK, Mr.Superthug forever-strapped Jamar can ease up offthe hardness; but van-damn, he can rhyme...
...same time slightly Stan Getz-y, especially in the playing of the tenor saxophone. This is apparent in the most beautiful piece on their album, "Sunset Bay." The softest and most tranquil by far, "Sunset Bay" takes you to the Bay Area where the artists grew up. Ultra simple drum programming with understated saxophone notes will make you think you are walking down the Embarcadero with your special someone. The same can be said about "Eventide;" yet this time, the brothers add flute and something known as "wah wah" bass, making "Eventide" a much more dynamic and upbeat piece, created...
Denzel Washington is Anthony Hubbard, the ultra-intense head of the combined FBI/NYPD terrorism division in New York City. Strongly reminiscent of Courage Under Fire and Crimson Tide, Washington plays the familiar uptight keeper of morals and courage that he always does brilliantly, and he singularly maintains the drive in the film.

Unfortunately, he appears disappointingly infrequently in the film, and his part seems little more than an expanded cameo. Annette Bening...
Arriving at Harvard I had no idea that I would be encountering anything worse than Expos. Bikes. More specifically, 28-geared high-tech ultra-light mountain bikes with front and rear shocks and tires with treads an inch deep. Astride this machine of terror rides the Harvard student. We all know how mild-mannered and bookish Harvard students usually are, but on top of these behemoths they become pilots of destruction. I glance behind me in apprehension, and find a bike-riding Harvardian screaming down the narrow Yard paths, no doubt late for his or her "Sex" section. They...
Over the last few years, Cypress Hill has made a notable shift towards gloomier, more pessimistic sounds that are complemented nicely by the ultra-scratchy voice of lead singer B-Real, who sounds as if he's suffering from one too many hits from the bong. The extremely somber Cypress Hill III had a number of serious, grave successes, such as the grim "Killafornia" and the spooky, spiritual "Illusions." Thus it is not surprising that the best songs on Cypress Hill IV are the ones that boast the most chilling sounds. "Dead Men Tell No Tales" is a pleasingly eerie...
