50 Years Later, Is There Anything Left Of Hip Hop? | Defector I went to hip hop’s 50th birthday party, and all I got was a collection of insipid lists. And a new Sprite commercial. To be fair, there were also the usual puff pieces. The New York Times detailed “H...

John David Washington and Malcolm Washington Are a New Kind of Hollywood Dynasty The Washington brothers (yes, Denzel’s two sons) built their careers apart—until an irresistible project drew them together. In The Piano Lesson, they tackle a father’s thorny legacy.
