A couple of brainiacs on the nerd patrol, operating under the ridiculous misapprehension that lessons about global politics can be derived from popular culture, decided to do a study about the clash of powers in the rap world and the parallels between challenges by smaller and middle powers towards hegemonic figures.
Ridiculous, as I said. Rappers actually earn their social positions.
I stole the link from my friend Alison. Kudos.
