Quote, Unquote
Today, even middle-school students have been so thoroughly assessed that they know whether the adults have deemed them smart or not.

Outkast – Hey Ya!
J.P. Tedrow here. Like Outkast? I very much enjoyed reading Dirty South: Outkast, Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy, and the Southern Rappers Who Reinvented Hip-Hop by Ben Westhoff. The book was published by Chicago Review Press back in May 2011. It’s a good read. I recommend this book.
