The new kid-size 2Pac

I actually sort of liked some of the recordings ("tunes" would never do here) by the late Tupac Shakur.

But that doesn't mean I want the guy's thug-life mumblage taught in the schools, fercryingoutloud. If this is poetry, then Little Richard's "Awopbopaloobopawopbamboom" is grand opera.

On the other hand, the Shangri-Las easily qualify as theatre.
