Presenting the genial, silver-tongued, exaggeration-prone professor (and friend of mine), Marc Caplan. His life story is worth reading about.
(He was a guest on this very blog some time ago.)

Fuftsik Sent and Madona
Yiddish rap in the Jewish state.
Check out this article in Yediot Acharonot. I haven't heard the sound files yet. (Thanks to reader MJ for pointing this out.)
Update: As usual, I'm about three to four months behind the curve -- the disk came out in May. I just listened to some clips. Lipa it isn't, just saccharine frumification of perfectly good music. (Why would you need an ultra-O version [track 5] of La Isla Bonita?)
(Speaking of Yiddish and Madonna, the new issue of Afn Shvel has a great article by Marc Caplan on Ms. Ciccone Ritchie and her practice of Kabbalah.)
