More than a decade removed from his death, rap is still in search of Tupac Shakur’s replacement. There have been a few rappers to come along, mirroring aspects of the legend’s capabilities, but they soon fizzle out after it’s apparent they can’t maintain the pace. Before long, their artistic limitations are exposed, and we return back to square one, hoping to embrace the second coming of this apocalyptic prodigy. In the meantime, let’s examine some of the almost Tupac’s that have

Is it just me or does it seem like the world is slowly beginning to evolve around that most mysterious and intangible force: the internet? More and more Americans are getting their news and entertainment fix not from their television, but online. Heck, we're even going so far as to figure out how to hook the internet up to our TV's so we can watch YouTube or whatever other viral video of the moment on the big screen, with the ones we love and a carton of ice cream. So what

Two Jews - one doesn't eat meat, one kosher altogether - venture into the valley on Superbowl Sunday in search of a nice non-kosher steakhouse dinner.  Discuss.   Entering the dim and dapper bar, rich in mahogany and towering spirits, we were greeted by staff suited up in crisp white button downs, bow ties and bon vivance.  It immediately warranted a double take - are we not Nordstrom Rack adjacent?  As we were escorted into the classically traditional dining room, clusters of magnum

Entertain your inner child with Gallery 1988's new exhibit celebrating Hot Wheels' 40th Birthday. In honor of this stupendous event, this quirky retro art gallery went ahead and commissioned 40 artist-re-envisioned toy VW Micro Buses. If a fleet of tiny buses designed by some of today's top modern artists doesn't do it for you, there will also be full-sized, toy-inspired work. Maybe a grinning Japanese bbq grill with an engine on its back, or a painting of a Care Bear king

Ahhh, the French. We can thank them for Brigitte Bardot, Champagne and Crepes, all tantalizing creations. Crepes Dusigne, a tiny café which opened only four months ago, is easily whiz-by-able on Olympic but take heed; you’re passing up an edible stroll down the Seine served with a side of whipped cream. Pump the brakes!!! It’s Crepe Time! (Oh la la) Just off Sawtelle (and around the corner from the nefarious, sub-par Crepe Nazi with all his stupid rules at Crepes To Go) is a lovely and
