    Big Daddy Kane: The AfraKane King
    “For Kane, as for James Brown, Hendrix, Coltrane, Beethoven (Black, caucasianized for the record), and other new music makers, here the future of music (dope) meets Black life's particularly present-day dick­-downs (dog food).”

    Christmas Music: Reasons to Be Cheerful
    “I like Christmas music. I like the schlock and I like the religion. I like sen­timental innocence and I like trancing out on the same standards sung and resung. So here, with what I sincerely hope is the right mix of Christian charity and obsessed consumerism, is a guide to some of the season's better music”

    The Sad, Strange Tale of Judas Priest
    “These people act like we drink a gallon of blood and hang upside down from cruci­fixes before we go onstage,” Rob Halford says. “We’re performers, have been for two decades. We do the show and we wear the costumes our audience expect us to.”

    Are You Ready For Rapping?
    “These transcontinental urban griots echo the de­spair, pain, and anger of the South Bronx and Harlem (the world's two major rap centers), which a lot of the cool-jerk white liberals and b.s. black bourgeoisie don't want to hear.”

    Chuck D: All Over the Map
    “It’s a make-it-or-break-it period for us. We do the right thing, we’ll be able to pull into the 21st century with some kind of program. We do the wrong thing, the 21st century is going to be gone, there’ll be no coming back”

    In Memory of John Lennon
    "His new music wasn’t cynical, sarcastic, sardonic, or ever clinical. It was love songs. Pure and simple."

    John Lennon, 1940-1980
    “John Lennon held out hope. He imagined, and however quietistic he became he never lost that utopian identification. But when you hold out hope, people get real disappointed if you can’t deliver.”
