Open Letter to Mark Wahlberg: Hiphop Culture MADE You!

I'm not going to continue to let the elephant in the room take big dumps all over the room. At some point, one of us has to say something about the so-called unsaid.

The relatively shallow, 6-mile-deep quake struck at 6:32 a.m. just south of the island, where it was felt most strongly, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, or USGS. Several smaller temblors followed, including a 4.9 magnitude quake that frightened residents all over again just before 11 a.m., according to the USGS. There was no tsunami threat, and no deaths or injuries had been reported, according to officials.
