I understand why such a colossal and thrilling event as the World Cup inspires all magazines to produce articles linking to football, but Hip Hop Connection is really scraping the barrel. Do take a look at pages 36-37 of the June issue. It lists the participating countries, then offers a Mascot (Nigeria: "Talented but undisciplined (at the back) so it has to be ODB"), an anthem (Tunisia: "The Parker boy's own verse on 'Intense Preparations'" - that's Lewis Parker) and a prediction. Yes, it's all that interesting and witty. Is there a feature to match it feebleness?
