Largely sloppy, sometimes obnoxious, frequently transcendently goofy, occasionally just transcendent, karaoke is a uniquely egalitarian way for people to live out minor fantasies while also blowing off steam. It's an activity certainly

I will say this much... Seattle is quickly - and I mean with a quickness - becoming a model of how to do things right in the Hip-Hop community. Of course this is a blanket statement and does not apply to each and every Seattleite, but it speaks to the
