3. Kid Rock

Part of a series of events sparked by Homer inadvertently running over Florida's most beloved alligator, Captain Jack, the big man somehow finds himself avoiding the local authorities by cavorting around with Kid Rock and his midget sidekick Joe C. Perplexingly, the clip of the white-trash rap-rocker's cameo seems only freely available in Spanish, although little appears to be lost in translation.

2. 50 Cent

Possibly displeased by the dismal performance of G-Unit signings like Hot Rod, 40 Glocc, and the clique's token chanteuse, Olivia, 50 Cent invites Bart Simpson on tour. The young'un declines, showing a hitherto uncelebrated commitment to staying in school. For extra pun points, the episode's title is a riff on 50's "Wanksta" single. It's called "Pranksta Rap."

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
