21 Savage is getting better. It’s right there, in in the title of his new album: i am > i was. The sentiment subsumes his verses and runs over his punchlines. Shayaa Bin Abraham-Joseph is wealthier, funnier and more famous than he’s ever been. If he’s not one of the best lyricists in hip-hop already, with every release he’s inching closer to that reality.

There’s been a lot of hype surrounding Clown, no doubt because purveyor of gore and grue, Eli Roth (Hostel), has his name attached to the film. So forgive me if I came away from the movie feeling a little under-whelmed.

Wouldn't it be fun to go back to college? There's something romantic about a society built on spirit, camaraderie, and a limited understanding of the trials that await each graduate once he or she leaves campus. That ideal is at the heart of Jon Vs. College, a new MSN web series produced by Principato-Young Entertainment. The affable host of Jon Vs. College is Jon Gabrus, a Ucb vet, regular TV performer, and lead voice actor in Yahoo's well-received puppet comedy The Fuzz. Gabrus, ten years removed from his own college experience, is using the show as an excuse to travel back to a time in his life when beer was plentiful and reservations were not. Jon Vs. College uses a tour format, with Gabrus palling around the country from school to school. The first episode takes him to Texas A&M for a Texas-sized football Saturday. Two more episodes have already been produced,...
