Great article and looking forward to further installments.  The subject matter of gangster rap has always leaned towards the glorification of sociopathic tendencies, there's no more redeeming value in an Eazy-E rap, say, than in a Gucci Mane rap.  That being said, Eazy-E was a rhodes scholar on the mic compared to…

That's because, like Radiohead, he's got some classic shit on his resume with CoFlow and Cannibal Ox.  Sadly, it seems like those rarefied heights are well behind him.

I heard tell Tom Six went to Milton Bradley to see if he could use the Connect 4 trademark in his next film. Sadly, he was turned down.

Al Bundy once scored 4 touchdowns in one game for Polk High.

Lookie here now, I never claimed McCarthy was a hack. I'm a big fan of "Blood Meridian" and "No Country for Old Men".  But "The Road" was a load of soppy bollocks as far as I'm concerned.  And who is this Nicholas Sparks? Nevermind don't tell me I could care less.
