When Nas said hip-hop is dead, it was really a way of making the statement I think that I'm making. He obviously doesn't think it's entirely dead, or he wouldn't continue to labor there - but he is concerned about it enough to put people on notice that it is in the ICU ward. It was more a metaphor than a reality. But I think that there is no question that commercial hip-hop - that is dead. But there is an incredibly rich world of hip-hop that has been literally buried.

...work for which they're underpaid and overqualified." For some, that flexibility means a willingness to accept a transitional position below the salary they're accustomed to--what's often called a survival or fallback job. Legendary investor Warren Buffett has said he would never take a job he wouldn't want to keep. And he stayed true to that, even before he was wealthy.

Driving these fantasies was his statutory power to name a replacement for former Senator Barack Obama - a power that to Blagojevich seemed like money in the bank. "I've got this thing, and it's f______ golden," he told...
Still, many observers say Jackson's public explanation was evasive, allowing him to not contradict the federal complaint and still leave open the possibility that an associate of his may have independently approached Blagojevich about essentially paying for Jackson's appointment. "I wouldn't put it past someone to be purporting to represent Jesse without authority," Jackson's lawyer James Montgomery Jr. told the Chicago Tribune. Another explanation that could exonerate Jackson: Blagojevich may have invoked Jackson's name as a speculative attempt to solicit payment. That scenario is what Jesse Jackson Sr. believes, telling ABC News that...
