...million copies, and in many ways he has become the hip-hop Shania Twain (another ex-- McDonald's employee who grew up poor and writes songs designed to ring registers in every genre). But whereas Twain takes pop songs and countrifies them or vice versa, Nelly is an integrationist. His exuberant rolling delivery--he has never met a hard consonant--naturally places him between the commercial lodes of hard-core rap and sugary pop, while his lyrics invite everybody into the hot tub in the middle.

...both evil and ineptitude. For all its terror, the Sovereignty Commission often seemed like a band of Klanstone Kops. Investigators were flummoxed by the race of a baby with a light complexion and dark, curly hair. They railed hilariously at "beatniks" and "Castroites" and sought to boycott sponsors of integrationist entertainers such as Lena Horne and Marlon Brando...
