I feel bad about having ripped PhilaWeakly without giving due time to their brethren at City Paper. Namely music editor Patrick “He’s the DJ, I’m the” Rapa. Here’s what “He’s the DJ, I’m the” Rapa recently had to say about the Roots latest album: Look, we know you’re not out there blingin’ and bangin’, but some of that ol’ gritty, preachy magic was missing from The Tipping Point. Maybe you’ve lost touch a little? Maybe you’re too happy? It was interesting that Rapa decided to write that, because it gave away the fact that he obviously never listened to the album!

Philly still phat!

Philadelphia got named 2nd fattest city in the country by Men’s Fitness magazine, which I would not have believed had I not gone to Walmart on Delaware Ave. yesterday. It was there that I saw like four people riding around in those carts to shop, not because they were old or handicapped, but because they were just too damn fat to walk. Don’t worry, gang, motorized carts will burn off those pounds in no time.
