Ma Rainey was consid ered one of the last great minsffel artists and one of the first profes sional women blues singers. She was dubbed “Mother of the Blues.” 9,1966 Black women at the Lin coln nursing home in Baltimore Maryland walked out because of Critic's Corner Thumbs up for 'Eye For An Eye' lu Johnson Tamu Johnson Banner Reporter Eye For An Eye is an extraodinary movie starring Sally Fields and Kieffer Sutherland. Sutherland portrays a demented sex offender and Fields portrays a vengeful mother after her daughter’s killer. The police are of no help to Fields in her quest. Once she finds her daughter’s killer, Sutherland, she follows him around for a few days and tries to warn another w(»nan to steer clear of him. Unfortunately the woman doesn’t heed Fields’ warning. Fields and her family live in a \ovie \Beviev\n Los Angeles suburb called the Palisades, aneighboihood where groceries are delivered. The murder takes place when Fields’ daughter who is home alone opens the door to a stranger de livering groceries. Field's hears theattacktakeplace while she is on her car phone. The case was brought to court but thrown out due to a techni cality so the murderer walks. Field's then takes matters into her own hands. Her husband fries to keep her from putting her life in danger by following the killer, but she sneaks behind her husband’s back and continues to investigate. Eye For An Eye is a must see and is playing at the Brassfield Theatre complex. Kriss Kross crossed out Keita White Entertainment Editor WHEEEW! I just finished listening to the recently released Kriss Kross al bum and my head hurts. Young, Rich and Dangerous is the name of the album, but who are they talking about ? All I want to know is whathappened to those cute little boys that made every body want to “JUMP, JUMP” back in the day. This album is a cross between Snoop Dog and Immature. The tracks are all phat. Jermaine Dupri definitely hooked his boys up with that laid-back, slow-but-funky type of groove that just screams his name every time you hear it. The lyrics, however, are stricdy confined to blunts, girls and guns. Original isn’t it? NOT!! I want to know where it is written that every artist com ing out with an album has to sound like every other artist that came before them. Young, Rich and Dangerous is about as real as Clarence Tho mas being elected head of the NAACP. These boys (and I stress the word boys because they're still not old enough to drive alone) have no idea what it’s like to grow up on the streets, and the only thing dangerous about them is the power that they misuse to influence the young men and women that listen to their music. Overall this album is nothing more than an hour-long, x-rated, unsupervised, under-aged party over very good listening music.
