When it comes to the mythical mountain ranges of classic camp cinema, there are endless well-loved ridges and unnumbered iconic peaks. "Pink Flamingos", "Hedwig", "Myra Breckenridge", "Some Like it Hot", "All About Eve" and "Barbarella" are just a few names of note in this catalogue of topographic delights, of which even the most dedicated cinematic trekker could never tire.

Hip-hop is changing, and it’s about damn time. Even though hip-hop as a subculture was itself once born from oppression and rebellion, at times it can seem oppressive and closed-minded in many aspects.
