SAMOHI Armed with a batch of “sexy resumes” and a desire to get hired by just about anyone who pays minimum wage, 15- year-old Daniel Galvan said he felt confident about his chances of landing a job at the third annual Youth Job Fair here. “It’s my first time [looking for a job] so I don’t really know what to expect, but I’m willing to do just about anything,” said Galvan, whose mother helped him put together his resume, complete with a section about himself and his hobbies.“I need some- thing to keep me occupied and so I can earn some money to save up for a car.” Galvan had some competition. Hundreds of youths passed through the Santa Monica High School cafeteria Wednesday afternoon in search of employment.

Photo courtesy of Def Jam FUNK DOCTOR SPOT: Redman in the “Put it Down” video. Timbaland produced the lead single from “Red Gone Wild.” Redman, ‘Red Gone Wild’ ★★★ Reggie Noble — Redman’s government name — has done it again. Just when you think he can be boxed in, he moves sideways on you. During a self-imposed five-year hiatus from recording, he starred in a very forgettable Fox sitcom with smoking buddy Method Man. Fox’s “Red and Method” not only bombed in prime time, but stripped the legendary hip-hop heavyweight of some of the ever-important street credibility he’d gained since his days as part of the Erick Sermon- led Def Squad. In those heady days during the 1990s, Red and the rest of the squad were producing seminal rap tracks at will. Sure, the likes of Keith Murray and Das EFX were mainstream, but they were anything but pop. With Red’s forays into pop culture behind him, he seems to be going back to what made him an icon in the rap game. On the debut single “Put it Down,” Redman enlists track master Timbaland to create an almost old-school rap jam that evokes his earlier work. There’s nothing too progressive on “Red Gone Wild,” but it delivers on so many levels. He’s not going to be making any friends with Russell Simmons and the rest of the talking heads calling for hip-hop to refrain from certain deroga- tory language, but the kids on the street are going to be nodding their heads to it. Even some 30-somethings that were teens when Redman first debuted in 1992 with “What Thee Album” are going to be secretly bumping it in their cars as they make their daily commute.

❚To fund a new Iraqi economy and government after the March 2003 invasion, the U.S. Federal Reserve shipped 484 pallets of shrink- wrapped U.S. currency, weighing 363 tons, totaling more than $4 billion, and, according to a House of Representatives committee Natural Selection By Russ Wallace staff report in February, most of the cash was either haphazardly disbursed or distributed to proper channels but with little follow-up tracking. By March 2007, The Times of London found bank records revealing, for instance, that two unremarkable Baghdad small-business men (appointed to the defense ministry) eventually deposited over $1 billion in private accounts in Jordan, and that U.S. efforts to buy state-of-the-art equipment for the Iraqi army were seriously undermined because middlemen purchased only cheap, obsolete Polish munitions and pocketed the savings.
