Every week I am looking forward to reading this newsletter. I hope you can excuse me that it took a bit longer to get to it this time. Though I am outrightly impressed by everything, from the language to the level of analysis. Never listened so deeply to Ice Cube to be aware of that reference to Koreans and to everyone else, as you imply.
Music is born out of struggle and I find it fascinating that the first ones who give birth to a movement, a genre, a band, are so rebellious. Then the system coopts the music and it becomes just another trend on which people jump to capitalize. This is not linked to your article, just had a random thought.
