Readers of the Middle East blogosphere probably know this already, but since it's provoking a lot of commentary I guess I should say something, though I'm really feeling like an old codger on this one. Lynch did an extended interpretation of the feud between rappers Jay-Z and the Game as applied to the debate over American global primacy, with a fair number of IR comparisons. It has to be seen to be appreciated, (the language is mostly asterisked out but is strong). Today he has a roundup of reactions.
It's certainly an extended tour de force. Not being up to date on the rap scene (I still miss Elvis and my daughter is in a Jonas Brothers phase), I must defer to those better attuned to the age. But bravo, I think.
