expand review things: the latest News Stand Special or the latest Ego Trip. The first one I ever saw was issue #2 (cover had Method Man wearing a purple hood and staring out from a black background, iced fang fronts flashing like Ozzy on the cover of "Bark at the Moon"). Basically Ego Trip writes hilarious, informative articles makes fun of everybody, and basically don't give a fuck. Somehow they are smart and funny enough to get away with it. By this issue, the magazine's design and production had caught up with its smart-ass and the whole thing was tight. -the mgmnt

expand review hell. They use the same format that made the Book of Rap Lists so great- the massive amount of info, articles and topics are divided into digestible sections, then further broken down into their genius lists. A sampling: 10 racial rumors worth talking about, the sports racism hall of fame, Chin check: a US phone book suvey, the true race adventures of the Rolling Stones, top 10 whites (according to blacks) + top 10 blacks (according to whites) and so so much more. Design is handled by Brent Rollins of course, with an extra help-out of hilarity from Reas. Just buy it, mongrel. -the mgmnt
