...During the show, Peter, of the one-man band Poem Adept, plays several songs he had composed by putting the words of his finds to music, including one entitled “The Booty Don’t Stop,” adapted from a cassette tape of homespun rap tunes found by a reader...
...divided into combinations of three different nutritional categories based on their chemical components: carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Carbs are broken down by the body into sugars that course through the bloodstream and serve as the body's key source of energy. White bread, pasta and potatoes earn a bad rap because they are simple carbs that are very quickly broken down into sugar in the body. Most excess sugar is stored as fat.

This time it worked, because Busta Rhymes is an anachronism in rap music, a popular artist who gets by on lyrical skill and wit alone (taking hot beats for granted). Technically speaking, he’s an emcee’s emcee—he spits rhymes with perfect breath control, speeding up and slowing down, stopping and starting at will, lyrically careening all over the beat without losing a drip of flow. And for all his lyrics, he doesn’t say a damn thing, or at least nothing that isn’t needed to rock...
