- From Ice Cube to Ice-T, Rap artists are adding a new
- number to their repertoire: "Hooray for Hollywood!" The cinema's
- latest hip-hop hunk is TUPAC SHAKUR, playing a rapper-postal
- worker wooing a poet-hairdresser (Janet Jackson) in John
- Singleton's currently shooting Poetic Justice. Meanwhile,
- Shakur's hit rap single, Brenda's Got a Baby, based on the
- true-life travails of a pregnant 12-year-old, has kids in crisis
- writing to the rapper. "They identify with me and all that pain
- growing up poor. We need someone who's been through that and
- escaped." You'll do fine, 2Pac.
