  I’m all for rap as a dissident art form.  It really bugs the hell out of me, though,  that people can’t develop their own local music forms of dissent.  Why is it the world just consumes and consumes US pop culture and won’t, or can’t, come up with their own original thinking?  Like Africa did, for example?

  Arab rap?  Snore.
