Rap Sheets
Rapper 50 Cent has just launched a new line of hip-hop novellas and graphic novels through Pocket-MTV Books. But other hip-hop producers are making news for less noble ventures - notably with the money laundering trial of Murder Inc. employees Irv and Chris Lorenzo. Today, how fantasy and real life intersect in hip hop. Also: a visit with singer and actress Joan Morris and her husband, Pulitzer Prize-winning composer and pianist William Bolcom. They perform live selections from their latest CD, which features musics with words by lyricist Gus Kahn. Finally, a look at writer Walt Whitman: The music he was inspired by, and who inspired him.
