I read a story the other day about a New Jersey police officer that makes gangsta rap videos. The worst part about this is that I am not the least bit shocked that someone entrusted to uphold the law is threatening to kill people to a beat. I have no problem with creative expression, but [...]

Rappers In Skirts
Your favorite rapper wears a dress. I see this as less of a statement on hip-hop in general, and more of a statement on men’s fashion today.
