From this statement alone, you might think Guru, the vocal half of the hip-hop group Gang Starr, is overly arrogant regarding his third Jazzmatazz project. But the music that follows the man's initial words more than backs him up. Guru has collaborated with some phenomenal and diverse artists in order to create this fusion of hip-hop and other genres. Erykah Badu's soulful voice laughs and dances around Guru's rap in the jazzy song "Plenty." In contrast, "Lift Your Fist" with the Roots is Philly hip-hop with an attitude. All in all, you will find...
Cydylo's work is even less innovative. She seeks, as she says in her artist's statement, "specific allusions to Victorian constraint and more generalized, surreal indications of social interaction," which translates, it seems, to lots of cut-out dresses in black and white stuck on walls. Cheap Mattisse cut-out imitations, maybe, but little more...
...Bush's statement was emotionally all "finality" and about holding firm behind a schedule that appeals to America's growing sense of impatience.

The next and final deadline comes Friday at midnight, when overseas absentee ballots must have been received to be counted in Florida. I don't know who these ballots will support and neither does Vice President Gore." Nice bit of suspense, even if Bush has no doubt whatsoever that the absentee ballots will add to his official...
...neither man would have made his statement without a little legal confidence. Gore went out armed with Wednesday's Florida Supreme Court decision declaring the hand counts legal.

And Bush had the curt statement of Harris, who is turning into his personal Janet Reno, to lean on. Harris held a 9:30 p.m. press conference to declare that she had duly considered the three counties' appeals to have their manual counts included in the official tally, and had found them decidedly...
...then again, Boies' last clear statement was that the Gore campaign's goal wasn't litigation, but "making sure every vote is counted." And with Palm Beach County still paralyzed by its own lawsuits (a seventh judge is finally looking at lifting the injunction to let the county send its results in) and sitting on all those double-punched Gore votes just yearning to breathe free, the road ahead could be long and winding indeed...
