TABLE OF CONTENTS
This page. Abbreviated by magazine personnel as the TOC.
INTRO PAGE
A pep talk, plan of action, and some swear words. Cleverly titled, but that's not the point.
UP FRONT
means, well, put it this way--if it were in the back it wouldn't make much sense to call it Up Front, would it Kojak? Russel Simmons is carphoned, Coxsone Dodd is Perliched, Q-Tip is Q&Aed and the Tibetan dilemma is outlined.
TOP TENS
Food, feuds, snaps, beats, misleading album covers, tape tips, taking the skunk out of bud and the Bests of the Month.
GRAND ROYAL NEWS
Beastie Boy bulletins, Luscious Jackson action, on the DL with DFL, and happenings with Tha Hurra.
