'Def Poetry' Saves Hip-hop

By Brian Hettmansperger · Thursday, May 17,2007 12 a.m.

While I am a huge fan of music, hip-hop has always been my favorite genre. And it is a big genre where there is room for a Snoop Dogg and a Lil' John as well as Def Poetry. If Mos and Talib are the Bob Dylan and Neil Young of hip-hop then Lil John is the Motley Crue. There is a place for both the Crue and Lil' John in their respective genres, but artists like Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Dylan and Young wield the responsibility in their genres, respectively.

Rodeo Ruby Love: B

By Craig Shank , Aparna Venkatraman and Todd Machowiak · Thursday, May 17,2007 12 a.m.

The seventh release from the local label, Crossroads of America, brings about a refreshing, catchy and introspective EP from Rodeo Ruby Love. Following the release of their lo-fi debut, Your Love has Made Everything Beautiful, RRL has overhauled the production values, but retained the cutesy Midwestern flair that made their first effort so enjoyable. Though What Lonliness Can Do to You clocks in at less than 20 minutes, it is a solid 20 minutes that shows an increase in focus and maturity from the band.

Bone Thugs 'N' Harmony: B-

By Chris Green and Shannon McEnerney · Thursday, May 17,2007 12 a.m.

Bone Thugs are surprisingly fresh in a sea of posers and money-hungry thugs. They rap about the same cliched, deeply poetic subject matter of commercial rap (Bitches and hos, 40s, gold chains, getting shot and living, rims, cribs, the streets, thug life, hustlin', etc.) but do it well. Bone Thugs 'N' Harmony are three charming young men who have been rapping in the "game" since '94. With member Flesh-N-Bone in jail, the group has dwindled down to a trio. Strength and Loyalty is their newest effort and first on Interscope imprint Full Surface.

Elliot Smith: A

By Phil McLaughlin · Thursday, May 17,2007 12 a.m.

Every once in awhile, you receive one of those perfect gifts that you didn't even know you wanted. Such is Elliot Smith's new release. Almost 3 1/2 years after passing away, he has left us the gift of New Moon, a double-disc collection of mostly unreleased songs that reminds us why we were ever Elliot Smith fans in the first place.

The Ex

The Ex: C- (PG-13)

By Erica J. Nourse and Phil McLaughlin · Thursday, May 17,2007 12 a.m.

The Ex" follows Tom Reilly (Braff) and Sofia Kowalski (Peet) as they move from New York City to a small suburban town in Ohio with their newborn son. Tom, a straight-shooter who can "smell bullshit from a mile away," has just been fired from his job as a resident chef and has conceded to take a position with Sofia's father (Grodin) at a free-spirited advertising firm. Things get awkward when Tom realizes he's working with one of Sofia's high school flings, Chip (Bateman). Chip, arrogant and hard-nosed, has become one of the premier creative-types in the Ohio advertising arena, all without the use of his legs. Having never forgotten his one night with Sofia, he makes attempts at ruining Tom's life, all while wooing Sofia and her parents. Unfortunately for Chip, Tom's keen olfactory senses are starting to kick in.

By Kacie Foster , Lauren Cooper and Stephen Graham · Thursday, May 17,2007 12 a.m.
