Well. The thought of a Run-DMC Broadway musical makes me want to puke in my shell-toes. (Just kidding, I don't really have shell-toes.) True rap greats, going the way of Billy Joel? This cannot be good. (It certainly was not good for true rock greats, The Who.) But wait, maybe I shouldn't be so quick to diss and dismiss. After all, Awl pal Sacha Jenkins' recent foray into rap musical theater, met with rave reviews. And if Big Boi can pull off a ballet and still kill the mic (and talk to penguins) anything's possible. And Jordan Galloway of the New York Press is "practically giddy" at the news of the project, which he thinks "has the potential to be amazing." He also reports, "The job of bringing the hip hop impresarios' lives to the stage falls to Hollywood producer Paula Wagner." Oh, the Paula Wagner who produced Vanilla Sky? That doesn't make me feel better.
