n.w.a. at free variable

n.w.a.

Detailed analysis of the lyrics to (apparently) the #1 song in the US. I’m not familiar with the song, and I suspect that the rather McSweeneyesque subgenre of “satirical music writing that thoroughly interrogates the rhetorical and logical implications of rap lyrics” may write itself, but it is nonetheless an enormously entertaining read.

A video for N.W.A.’s relatively obscure “Help the police.” Highly recommended.
