Hip-hop artists dish out food instead of music
A dozen local hip-hop artists put aside thoughts of record platters last night in favor of platters of steaming fried fish, collard greens and sweet potatoes to serve nearly 100 area residents who could use a hot meal.The artists, who are featured on the hip-hop segment of Polish Radio WRKL 910AM, answered a call from radio personality CT for volunteers to collect coats for needy residents and serve food to the hungry and homeless. The idea, said Christopher “CT” Torres, was to show hip-hop’s bright side.
“A lot of time, the image people see, or the perception of the young kids, are always doing something negative to attract attention,” Torres said. “I asked them to donate their time – it’s the most important thing there is. The young people came out and showed everybody what they can do, what they’re made of.”

“Tony is such a, how you say, jacque,” said Ms. Paressant. “When I meet him at his wedding in July, he tells me he wants to go back door on me. When I say I don’t know what that means, he offers to show me some time.”

Review: Wu-Tang Clan drops hip-hop excellence
When the Wu-Tang Clan fire on all cylinders, they simply operate on a different level from everyone else in hip-hop.
It’s on display throughout “The 8 Diagrams” (Loud/SRC) – the hip-hop conglomerate’s first album since 2001′s “Iron Flag,” as well as its first since the death of Ol’ Dirty Bastard in 2004 – in the moments when RZA’s dense, meticulously crafted beats get surrounded by the dark, gritty rhymes of the rest of the Clan.
The centerpiece is the epic “The Heart Gently Weeps,” based on a sample from George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” which is augmented by guitarwork from Harrison’s son, Dhani, and Red Hot Chili Pepper John Frusciante. Over the fuzzy-dream riffs and between pretty, female-driven hooks sung by Erykah Badu, Raekwon and Ghostface take turns telling a terrible tale of how staying in on a snowy night to watch “Raisin in the Sun” devolves into a murderous rampage and how revenge shootings play out in a Pathmark. It drives home the theme of darkness lurking around every corner, a feeling echoed in “Life Changes,” a touching tribute to Ol’ Dirty Bastard, built around the haunting soul hook, “I go through life pretending that time will change the ending.”
