Love of Hip Hop Takes Acceptance
Word got around that
Diversions columnist Dave
Povill broke up with hip hop
because he realized it sucks, but really
he was just selfish to its needs.
In a relationship acceptance is the
golden rule and that’s where Dave’s
proclaimed love for hip hop is in ques
tion.
Though hip hop gets caught up in
its materialistic focus on who’s got the
ice, the phattest car and the most C
notes to flash, I still listen to what it has
to say simply because I love it, regard
less of positive or negative lyrics.
Like it or not, hip hop’s finally
earned the attention it’s always
deserved from the mainstream.
Sure, Dre penetrated white America
with The Chronic, but Biggie’s death,
and later Tupac’s, started the trend of
rap albums like Life After Death whup
ping ass on the Billboard charts, even if
out of sheer sensationalism or hype.
Nelly’s number one. Doesn’t he
have fly clothes, cars and women (or
hos, whatever you want to call them)
and a total party atmosphere in his
video?
Though I may dislike him and tire
of cliches, I guarantee I would have
totally taken my offers to be in the
“Shake Your Ass” and “Big Pimpin’”
videos, had it not been for obstacles
'Bossa Nova' Highlights Brazilian Culture
By Kit Foss
Staff Writer
“Love is a virus,” declares one char
acter in “Bossa Nova,” and in this
romantic comedy, everyone’s caught it.
Director Bruno Barreto (“Dona Flor
and Her Two Husbands”) praises three
loves in his latest
film -a woman, a
place and a sound.
Barreto’s real
life wife, Amy
Irving, plays the

principal love interest, while the sultry
scenery of the Sugar Loaf beaches of Rio
de Janeiro is as much a character in the
film as anyone else.
Partly a tribute to Brazil’s rhythmic
jazz of the same name, “Bossa Nova”
highlights the music of composer Tom
Jobim.

like “work” and being so hungover I
couldn’t get up to go, respectively.
Opps to be a video ho will arise after
graduation, I’m sine.
Don’t take the lyrics in these songs
and similars seriously. They’re CLUB
songs, intended to promote baller-ism,
and frankly, if you’ve never been to a
real club, don’t talk. Being in the club is
all about VIP, shaking your booty to
bumpin’ beats, flossin’ the tightest gear
and sippin’ on anything from sizzerp to
Crissy, and it just happens that current
mainstream producers Timbaland,
Trackmasters, Swizz Beatz, Manny Fresh 0
and Jermaine Dupri own the floor.
Speaking of Dupri, Lil’ Bow Wow’s
fame is overdue considering his discov
ery at age five by Snoop, who turned
him over to Dupri to ensure the kid’s
fame. He was bom to perform, so why
hate?
Under the outstretched arms of the
statue of Christo Redentor on Mount
Corcovado exists a vibrant culture
unlike any other. The Brazilian charac
ters live their lives with as much heart as
Bossa Nova music, while they blend
American culture with their own.
The film presents this side of Rio with
meticulous attention to detail, which sets
the scene on streets and beaches.
A brilliant plot interweaves the lives
of nine characters. These lives revolve
around lawyer Pedro Paul and widowed
teacher Mary Anne.
Each character shows great vitality:
from a law intern whose passion for soc
cer only matches that of her favorite
player, to the tailor’s son Pedro Paul,
who is so in love with Mary Anne that
he enrolls in her English school (even
though he speaks the language fluendy).
The movie’s multicultural humor
DIVERSIONS
The melanin-challenged always
whine about mainstream hip hop, how
it promotes excessive lifestyles and is
all about hos, cars and money. Then
they go and embrace positive rappers
like The Roots, Tribe and De La Soul.
Nothing’s wrong with that I do love
positive and underground hip hop, but
just because it’s labeled “underground”
doesn’t mean it’s always good (note
Jurassic 5). On the same token, if you
dig in the crates (as a true hip hop fan
would), you might find lyrical jewels
that will endear you to Juvenile, Nas
and Jay-Z. And though Mobb Deep
and Wu-Tang have gone mainstream,
their lyrics are some of the realest I’ve
ever heard, and I’ll never hate just
because they’re finally gettin’ paid.
They must be doing something right
when they’ve made more money from
one single than whiny Kool Keith will
his entire career. Face it, their stuff is
what people want to hear.
Hip hop is universal, and if you
truly love the music, respect the game.
Don’t go discrediting the whole genre
because of incomprehension or “can’t
be-down” syndrome. Dave, I’ve got
one word for you that may renew your
relationship with hip hop: Rawkus.

appeals to a universal audience. A par
ticularly hilarious incident occurs when
an English language teacher tutors an
egotistical Brazilian soccer star - who
has a pressing need to learn the lan
guage because he’s been traded to
London’s team - on the fundamentals of
swearing in English, while passing a ball
around her dining room table.
While most films in this genre require
some suspension of disbelief, “Bossa
Nova” leaves the viewer with the distinct
impression that its events could happen.
As in reality, characters miss meeting
each other, even when they’re in the
same place simultaneously. Pedro Paul
keeps running into Mary Anne, but it
takes some finagling to arrange a real
encounter.
