The words "white rapper" bring one of two people to mind: Eminem or Vanilla Ice. Left in the dust is Georgia native Bubba Sparxxx. But his recent album Deliverance, with production help from Timbaland, just might have enough "spark" to make him a white rapper to remember.

Ritter, Cash, Bronson... An Appreciation

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Sept. 18,2003 12 a.m.

WK's latest offering merely mediocre

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Sept. 18,2003 12 a.m.

Andrew W.K. does for hard rock what the forefathers and subsequent imitators of the old school hip-hop game did for their respective genre -- lighten it up. With I Get Wet, and even more so with his latest, The Wolf, much of the doom and gloom inherent to metal is excised and replaced with schlocky '80s throwbacks and party-hearty sentiments.
