Rappers Say the Riots Were No Surprise To Their Listeners
Long before the verdict in the Rodney G. King beating and the fires that engulfed South-Central Los Angeles, some black rap artists had been illuminating Americas racial tensions. Police think they have the authority to kill a minority, railed the rapper Ice Cube on Straight Outta Compton, the 1988 debut album of N.W.A. (Niggas With Attitude). These rappers distilled blacks anger and prophesied its eruption to anyone who would listen. Millions of young blacks did.

Only One Star in the Two Schools of Rap
IF HIP-HOP WERE FILM -- THE metaphor isnt much of a stretch, given that many rappers are often playing tough-guy roles -- there would be only two schools: one centered in Los Angeles, the other in New York. Los Angeles would produce the big-budget action dramas that rake in millions; New York would create the art films that excite critics and film students and fill Greenwich Village art houses. Last year, Los Angeles rappers dominated the box office with albums by Ice Cube and Cypress Hill and, of course, Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre, whose album, The Chronic, was the years Jurassic Park. Of the New York rappers, only an album by the Queens group Onyx (its title is unpublishable) dented 1993s Top 10 in sales.

Men and the Art of Motorcycle Madness (Henry James, Too)
The monotonously macho action-adventure Torque, which opens nationwide today, wears testosterone as if it were a new fragrance from Mennen. Its motorcycle-riding morons circle one another, hissing threats and flaring their nostrils as if they were about to lash their wrists together and break into a dance number reminiscent of Michael Jacksons Beat It video. They also do a lot of flexing and flashing of their tattoos -- which look like wall appliqués for a particularly surly 6-year-olds bedroom -- and seem to spend more time primping than Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. At least the guys in the HBO series Oz are more direct when theyre checking one another out. Sure, there are girls in Torque, but they seem like older-sister window dressing..

Still Tough, Still Authentic. Still Relevant?
ANDRE YOUNG, better known as Dr. Dre, hasnt exactly been silent since he released his first solo album, The Chronic, in 1992. He produced Snoop Doggy Doggs debut album, Tupac Shakurs All Eyez on Me, and Eminems The Slim Shady LP, all multimillion sellers, while rapping on their albums and co-starring in their video clips. But on his new album, Dr. Dre 2001 (Interscope 069490486), Dr. Dre sounds defensive, as if hes worried that hip-hop considers him a has-been. Now we got a new era of gangstas, hustlers and youngsters living amongst us, looking at us now, calling us busters, he admits in The Watcher, adding, Its funny how time flies. So he reiterates his resume, and he insists that hes still tough, still authentic, still relevant. Im still at it, he insists in Still D.R.E.

Death of a Rapper: A Legacy Built on the Gangster Image
ERIC WRIGHT, THE multimillion-selling rapper known as Eazy-E, took on a sad new celebrity last Sunday night, when he became the first hip-hop star to die of AIDS. Ten days earlier, Wright had released a statement that revealed his condition, announced that he had seven children by six different mothers and said he wanted his young fans to learn about whats real when it comes to AIDS. But Wrights career cant be summed up in his cause of death. Eazy-E, 31, was a classic American figure: a hustler who knew how to surround himself with talent and how to sell sensationalism. He was a member of N.W.A. (Niggaz Wit Attitude). While he didnt do the bulk of the groups writing or rapping, he was the executive producer of the definitive gangster rap album, N.W.A.s Straight Outta Compton, in 1988. With that, he became the entrepreneur who made gangster rap a hot commodity.
