This fellow gets handed every material and creative advantage by the country he's spitting on. Thanks to capitalism, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion, he can be the total jackass he is.

Strange paradox, that. Too bad he's too lacking in irony or sense to appreciate it.

On the other hand, I don't know that anyone has ever claimed that American rap artists are even remotely close to intelligent. To the contrary. If you put their brains in the head of an ant, they would rattle like BBs in a matchbox.

In The Republic, Plato argued that every political form contains the seeds of its own destruction. KRS-One is a bad seed.

And I believe that Joseph Schumpeter is supposed to have said that one of the dangers of capitalism, is that the wealth it creates leads to the existence of groups that don't have to work, and who spend their time plaguing the body politic.

As you observed, these mischief-makers are all irony-deficient.
