Born to Use Mics: Reading Nas's Illmatic, edited by Michael Eric Dyson and Sohail Daulatzai, is a collection of scholarly essays and historical documents presenting "Illmatic" from an academic perspective.
 The book features contributions from scholars and intellectuals such as Adilifu Nama, Guthrie P. Ramsey Jr., James Peterson, Marc Lamont Hill, Mark Anthony Neal, Imani Perry, Kyra Gaunt, and Eddie S. Glaude among others.
 It also includes a preface written by Common.
 In the introduction, Sohail Daulatzai explains the structure of the book, writing:
Hitler Bad, Vandals Good is the seventh studio album by the southern California punk rock band The Vandals, released in 1998 by Nitro Records.
 Much of the album is characterized by the pop-punk music and humorous lyrics for which the band is known, and it became their most popular and commercially successful album to date.
 While the band has utilized humor as a basis for much of their lyrical content throughout their career, the humor on their previous album "The Quickening" had been rooted heavily in sarcasm and dealt with themes of nihilism, anarchism and apathy.
 By comparison, the humor in "Hitler Bad, Vandals Good" is more lighthearted, dealing with subjects such as girlfriends, fast food and hairstyles.
Illmatic is the debut studio album by American rapper Nas.
 It was released on April 19, 1994, by Columbia Records.
 After signing with the label with the help of MC Serch, Nas recorded the album in 1992 and 1993 at Chung King Studios, D&D Recording, Battery Studios, and Unique Recording Studios in New York City.
 Its production was handled by DJ Premier, Large Professor, Pete Rock, Q-Tip, L.E.S. and Nas himself.
 Styled as a hardcore hip hop album, "Illmatic" features multi-syllabic internal rhymes and inner-city narratives based on Nas's experiences in Queensbridge, New York.
"Holler If Ya Hear Me" is a song by 2Pac, from his second solo album, "Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z.".
 It was the first single released from this album in 1993.
 The track, which uses a sample from the song "Do It Any Way You Wanna" by People's Choice and Public Enemy's "Rebel Without a Pause", is an anthem of resistance.
 Frustrations with black poverty, police injustice, and Tupac's perceived persecution from political figure Dan Quayle fuel the majority of the track.
 Hustling, bearing arms, and refusal to conform are the key methods of combating said issues, and the chorus leads those listeners in agreement to join in the movement.
 The song is autobiographical in nature, referring to various traumas experienced by Tupac himself, and the editor of "Vibe" was quoted in "TIME" magazine as stating that the song struck a chord with a large section of disaffected youth.
 The song was used by Michael Eric Dyson as the title of his book about the life of Tupac Shakur.
 The song was also used as a title for a musical based Shakur's music, which premiered on Broadway at the Palace Theatre on May 26, 2014 and closed on July 20, 2014.
 The non-biographical musical, directed by Kenny Leon and starring rapper/poet Saul Williams, was also produced by Shakur's mother, Afeni Shakur.
 The song was also played in the 1994 film Above The Rim, which starred Tupac.
Monty Python Live at Drury Lane is a live album released by Monty Python in 1974.
 It was recorded on the final night of their four-week run at the Drury Lane Theatre in London earlier that year and edited onto disc with new studio linking material by Eric Idle and Michael Palin.
 The majority of the sketches are from "Flying Circus" and vary slightly from their television counterparts, although "Cocktail Bar" was written for the third series but not used.
 The team also revived sketches from "At Last The 1948 Show", including "Secret Service", "Wrestling" and "Four Yorkshiremen" - the latter on its way to being adopted as a Python standard.
 Neil Innes provided the musical interludes, while Eric Idle's then wife Lyn Ashley replaced regular Python actress Carol Cleveland in supporting roles.
Michael Eric Dyson (born October 23, 1958) is an academic, author, and radio host.
 He is a professor of Sociology at Georgetown University.
 Described by Michael A. Fletcher as "a Princeton Ph.D. and a child of the streets who takes pains never to separate the two", Dyson has authored or edited 18 books dealing with subjects such as Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr., Marvin Gaye, Nas's debut album "Illmatic", Bill Cosby, Tupac Shakur, and Hurricane Katrina.
N·E·W·S is the twenty-seventh studio album by American recording artist Prince.
 It was released on May 26, 2003 by NPG Records.
 The album is the second instrumental album released under Prince's own name, containing four tracks of 14 minutes duration each.
 Recorded at Prince's Paisley Park Studios over a single day, the album was initially available through Prince's NPG Music Club website on May 26, 2003 before becoming widely commercially available on July 29.
 The album can be seen as a modern incarnation of Madhouse, but this time as a Prince release.
 Original Madhouse member Eric Leeds lends his talents, as well as The New Power Generation members John Blackwell, Rhonda Smith and Renato Neto.
 The album is reportedly the lowest-selling Prince album released to date, with just 30,000 copies sold, but it did become a top ten hit on the "Billboard" Internet sales chart, and garnered a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Instrumental Album.
Symphony of Enchanted Lands II – The Dark Secret is the sixth studio album released by Rhapsody in 2004.
 Many have been confused by its title, as it's not a sequel to "Symphony of Enchanted Lands" but is the first chapter of a new saga, "The Dark Secret Saga".
 Although not a sequel, the new saga is set in the same world as "Symphony of Enchanted Lands", and thus it often alludes to occurrences from that album.
 It is a concept album dealing with the resurgence of the Seven Black Books of the Demon king Nekron.

Invincible is the final studio album by American recording artist Michael Jackson, released on October 30, 2001, by Epic Records.
 Similar to Jackson's previous material, "Invincible" explores themes such as love, romance, isolation, media criticism, and social issues.
 It was Jackson's sixth studio album released through Epic, and his final studio album released before his death in 2009.
