jNuff said? Other than the ex-
Iplicit content of some of the
tics on the Bulworth Soundtrack
i, the true artistic talent re-
Bn the variety of beats and
pis individuals should be

From the hard sounds of Dr.
ream! LL Cool J’s pairing on

ylings of Pras Michel with OL

One notable song that stands
Bom the rest of the recycled

by Witchdoctor.
The song starts out with the
heavy and daunting sound of air

trapped in a wind tunnel. It later
branches into what sounds like a
bucket drum being played at
rapid speed. And although the
lyrics sound a bit Voodooish, they
start to repeat a bit much with,
“Everyday is a holiday / Holiday /
Another muthaf-—ing holiday.”
On the other hand, “Bitches
are Hustlers Too” stands out, but
only because the title and lyrics
deal with women taking men for
their money and prominent sta
tus in society.
D-Fyne raps, “Bitches are hus
tlers, too /1 thought you knew /1
thought you knew.” These are the
lyrics that superstars are made of.
Overall, the Bullworth Sound
track takes old lyrics and puts
them to some beats that may
sound the same, but still offers
background music good enough
to drive and tap the feet to. Don’t
rush out to the stores for this one.

Eene in 1994 with his self-titled debut album.

A native of Austin, Trevino was a student at Texas
A&M when he was signed by Columbia Records.
And it seems that his school spirit lives on. Coun
try music video fans can even catch a glimpse of
Trevino wearing an Aggie cap in his “Bobbie Ann
Mason” video.
Joining Trevino for Brazos Bash are rising country
stars The Lynns. Daughters of country goddess
Loretta Lynn, the twins Peggy and Patsy, come from
a long line of country music stardom; Crystal Gayle
is their aunt, and Patty Loveless is their cousin.
General admission tickets for Brazos Bash are $12,
and all proceeds from the concert will benefit St.
Joseph Regional Health Center.
Concert-goers also will be treated to a traditions
show featuring the Aggie Wranglers, the Singing
Cadets, the Texas A&M Symphonic Band and a laser
light production.
Tickets are available through Ticket Master,
Bother’s Bookstores, Marooned Records, Double-
Quick Food Stores and KBMA La Fabulosa.
