Smith's make for spanned the euphony spectrum, hard rooted in knight and ragga simply as well incorporating practically of the trip-hop fashion often associated with Ninja Tune. He debuted in 1999 with Make New Second Hand, a hopeful album that garnered a tidy amount of attention from the external hip-hop crowd and won Britain's desired MOBO laurels.

Mere glimpses of Marilyn in exhibit
Today is the 46th anniversary of the death of Marilyn Monroe, whose light george Burns as brilliantly as always. Jean Harlow was more a vamp, Carole Lombard more an actress, and both died younger than Marilyn, wHO was 36. Yet they are remembered mainly by film buffs whereas she is known by just about anyone with ideas of sexiness and glamour.
But "known" is, of course, the wrong word. Her image is known, and that, as she remorsefully said, was an invention. Even today, with the facts of her living having been repeated for more than half a century, it's the look-alike rather than fact that holds interest.
"Life as a Legend: Marilyn Monroe," a huge exhibition at the Chicago Cultural Center through Sept. 21, traces her trajectory from model to starlet to sex symbolization to icon. It provides nearly all the famous pinup, publicity and objective photographs instrumental in that ascension. It also offers many paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures by contemporaneous artists, mostly German � the exhibition was organized in Hamburg � wHO treated the subject later her death. But partly because the works are not ordered chronologically we get only if a cloudy idea of the transformation of Norma Jeane into Marilyn, and partly because her image remains so strong we find the artists accepting rather than clarifying it.
That means the private Marilyn, who had 400 books in her library and constantly strove to "better" herself, does not appear in the show aside from quoted remarks.
Instead, there are rafts of pieces in which familiar photographs have been appropriated and reworked, often more than once. So, inevitably, the later pieces become about how earlier artists tempered Marilyn, and that ordinarily takes

Mixtape DJ Leaks Lil Wayne Album For Revenge
Last week (ends30May08), the Lollipop hitmaker, real name Dwayne Carter Jr., blasted the mixtape fraternity during an interview with America's Foundation magazine, claiming he no longer supported the world that he made his name in.
The star - who rose to fame with mixtape series Dedication and The Drought - said: "I created the mixtape game but I'm not in to that anymore. I'm doing Lil Wayne. I'm against it - and to the mixtape deejay, I don't know no mixtape deejays - f**k you.
"I'm on Top 25 - I ain't (sic) put out 25 mixtapes. So f**k y'all... F**k mixtape deejays. Carter III coming June 10th. Go get it or don't go get it, suck my d**k. I'm smelling myself. I'm too good."
But the rapper's comments have riled mixtape DJ Chuck T so much, he's taken revenge and posted Lil Wayne's entire LP online - 12 days before Tha Carter III is set to hit store shelves.
And he's not sorry for the act.
In a statement explaining his motives, he says: "Lil Wayne said f**k mixtape DJs... so now I'm about to show that boy the meaning of bootleg.
"I'll be damned if I let (anyone) get away with saying f**k me without him facing some type of repercussions, including Lil Wayne... Don't buy the new Lil Wayne album. Download it for free!"
However, DJ Chuck T insists he only ever set out to teach Lil Wayne a lesson - and doesn't mean to hurt those at his record label.
He adds: "I would sincerely like to apologise to all my friends and business associates at Universal and Cash Money Records for any problems this may cause. If you never want to deal with me again then I totally understand. No hard feelings."

House painting and penning songs inspired him as a progeny man, motivating Rice to assign a banding together.
