Masta Ace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1492 words)
Appearing on classic 1988 posse cut, "The Symphony", he garnered notoriety as an unsung asset to the Juice Crew posse, and is therefore, widely considered one on the roster, where he released a number of well-respected albums that were nonetheless little-heard outside purist circles.
He is one of a number of rappers to have mulled over the possibility of operating a record label, and his decision whether or not to quit rapping per se is pending.
During the few years between his debut and his sophomore album, Ace began having bitter feelings toward the commercial state of hip hop music, feelings which ruled the content on his second release, 1993's SlaughtaHouse, with the loose concept of the album seeing Ace taking the fake "gangsta emcees" to his "SlaughtaHouse".

Neko Case releases her new album Fox Confessor Brings The Flood next Tuesday and advance reaction seems to indicate that it may be her best record yet.
The band released a live album a few years back from a show consisting of all Velvet Underground covers, maybe as a nod and wink to all the VU comparisons they got early in their career (which I never really understood, but whatever).
And while the new album takes the band in a new direction, I'm going to pay tribute to their signature sound with this live Smiths cover from Brussells, Belgium sometime in 2001.
