Latin Ladies
Shakira is at the top of the Latin-ladies list right now. Her song is so catchy, and her little hip movements catch me out there. I live in the Latin-lady capital, New York City, and if I see one, I'll definitely jump out of my car, go over there and see what's goin' on!

NBA Street
That's my new video game - one of my loves. It's for PlayStation 2. In the Wu, I'll play RZA and Masta Killa, but I'm the best at it, of course.

Nike Shox
I call them "Nike boings" 'cause they got the spring-action thing. They're like space slippers, or moon sneakers - they're definitely some shit you'd wear up on the moon.

Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt is a bad motherfucka; he can change into anything. He could literally be a fuckin' couch - he could act like a couch and you wouldn't even fuckin' know it! I like all his movies - Fight Club, Twelve Monkeys - but my favorite shit he's in is Snatch. I like that British crime shit. That Guy Ritchie - I'd like to meet him. I'd say, "Put me in your next flick as a villain!"

Hard Rock
My taste varies, man. I don't really like Staind, I like the harder stuff - hard metal, rough shit like those Linkin Park niggas and Limp Bizkit. I just like the energy level. I like songs that catch my emotions, and they caught me out there. You might catch me singin' that shit!

Shark Bar
There's this little spot in uptown Manhattan where I get the Southern spicy food I like - they've got the rice, candied yams, corn, blackened catfish, honey-glazed chicken. The vibe's bluesy, cool, laid-back, and the food is like your mother was cooking.

Bernie Mac
He's one of the funniest motherfuckas in America. Him, Chris Tucker, Jamie Foxx and Chris Rock - those are the guys in the forefront of comedy. Bernie Mac, you just look at him and start laughing. His eyeballs make you laugh. I love comedy - 'cause I'm a funny motherfucka.

Wu-Tang Clan have just released their fourth album, Wu-Tang Iron Flag.

“The Everchanging Spectrum of a Lie”

The Joy Formidable | 2011

The opener off the Welsh group’s The Big Roar album was an epic one, but the band was worried that track had polarized fans. “The first song is eight minutes long,” Rhydian Dafydd, the Joy Formidable bassist, said. “If you did that in the Seventies people would be, ‘Whatever.’ You do it now, people think, ‘Holy s---!’ Some people think it’s the f---ing greatest track on the entire album, and some people think it’s f---ing boring. It’s that element of needing to challenge people.” The band concluded through the song’s lyrics that love was the “everchanging spectrum of a lie.”
