Today, even middle-school students have been so thoroughly assessed that they know whether the adults have deemed them smart or not. The good test-takers get funneled into the meritocratic pressure cooker; the bad test-takers learn, by about age 9 or 10, that society does not value them the same way.

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.
