T.I., What Are You Doing Here?
In the recording studio of my mind, there are a lot of conversations about this or that half-baked track that's in need of something, and my solution is always the same: "Call T.I., he'll probably do it." And then he does a verse (in my mind), and everything is fixed. ...

Al Pacino's Worst Movie Ever Is <i>Revolution</i>
Flipping around cable, I land on 1993's Carlito's Way and check in for a few scenes of a lurid, pulpy, and very Brian De Palma movie that's arguably like Scarface with an interior life. And as Al Pacino struts and chews his way through another role with another weird accent that ultimately leave...

Founders Rescues A Fine Mutt Of A Beer
Did any of you see the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show earlier in the week? I missed it, because I'm more into cats and missing things, but it sounds sort of cool.

Definitive Analysis Of That One Time Cassidy Rap-Battled Himself
It shouldn't surprise you that Cassidy, a baby-faced, Philly-born rapper who, about a decade ago, conspired with an alleged sexual predator to make one of the catchiest songs of all time and (allegedly) shot a man to death in the span of a few weeks, is a savage.
