Who Runs the Department for Gangster Rap Promotion?
THE CORNER
By Jonah Goldberg

From a profile of Alicia Keys in Blender: We ask what other gangsta rappers she liked. And that's when Keys drives a steamroller through the wall. "'Gangsta rap' was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other," she says, putting down the sandwich. "'Gangsta rap' didn't exist." Come again? A ploy by whom? She looks at us like it's the dumbest question in the world. "The government." Me: Well, first of all, I want that government agency closed immediately. Second, I want to know why the brilliant bureaucrats in charge of blowing up New Orleans levees, creating AIDS, and concocting the Gangsta Rap Myth are never put in charge of, like, the Department of Education or HUD. Imagine if they could use their skills for good instead of evil?
