Abstract

en_US My first rap fables! I feel old-fashioned as I find myself wondering about the verbal filler in this medium. Here is an early morsel: Saying, Why don't you race? That will decide it./The winner will be the fastest, the loser must abide it./We'll all come out and you can race tomorrow./One will be happy, the other in sorrow. The dust jacket proclaims It's a new-for-the-nineties spin on the favorite tale.... The visual art is bold and colorful. Despite the poetic looseness, there is some very creative humor here. The rabbit is slowed up first by some chicks who flirt and tease. His next stop is at a Little Bo Peep and The Sheep band concert. The best picture occurs here: M.C. crawls by as his fans and friends are asleep on a bench! M.C. then hits a crest, starts rolling, and blows right past the dancing Hip Hop. After he has won, it takes M.C. so long to climb the stairs to get his prize that the crowds go home before he gets there!
