...Friday” for the first time last year, and I found out that I hadn’t missed much. The movie is slow, depressing, violent, and about as funny as a gang shooting. Much like the film, this track is a non-starter for me. I mean, I love Dre as much as the next guy, but hip hop has been relying on the “I’m great and here’s why” shtick as an excuse to throw off half-baked one-liners for far too long. The song isn?...

Such tectonic clashing was responsible for the violent earthquake that shook Mexico City two months ago, when the Cocos plate of the Pacific, temporarily stuck in its slow but inexorable plunge under the North American plate, suddenly jarred loose and lurched ahead. Last week's burst involved a similar movement of plates, but the result was entirely different...
