I never thought I’d see Jay-Z on foreignpolicy.com, but here he is. Although I’m no rap aficionado, I found the article quite interesting (plus, it included some of my favorite words, like hegemony, hegemon, and hegemonic…oh yeah, and “beefs”). Perhaps some of the Jay-Z fans out there in SwaggerTooth-land can enlighten both the SwaggerTooth nation and me as to whether this article holds any water. I need to be educated as to the truthiness of 50 Cent’s spitting frenzy and the “sneak attack” against Nas.

Oh one more thing, who’s the next King (or Queen) of Pop?
