Wrote about my complicated relationship with rap for my latest @esquire column. Check check check it.
"My relationship to rap music is indivisible from the truth that at one point it was way more real-life than out-of-this-world hyperreality." Beneath the beefs, misogyny, and celebrated violence, I hear something else, writes @MitchSJackson.
