Although I know he's got tons of street cred, I can't be the only one whose first thought, upon hearing the new Eminem album is called "The Re-up" assumed that Marshall must be a fan of The Wire. It's not just me, right?
I bet Eminem is a fan of the culture of dealing, and appreciates any popular work that depicts it. Do you think thathe doesn't have Scarface in his DVD collection? I seriously doubt he's come to The Wire because he's been thirsting for a gritty, serial drama with complex plots, dozens of well-developed characters, long story arcs, and unflagging attention to realistic dialogue. Of course, I could be underestimating him. Maybe, by calling his album The Re-Up he's sending a not-so-veiled message to Burns and Simon that he's ready to followup Eight Mile with a season-long guest spot.
SixApart should buy Yahoo so that then they could have Flickr Notes in Vox. Also, they could bring back FlickrLive (RIP my precious) for my neighborhood.
