Musical break: 'Rap and Metal on Planet Islam'

Very interesting article:

James M. Dorsey from the December 2010 issue of Reason Magazine/GLG News, Rap and Metal on Planet Islam, 23 Nov 2010: "With the growing realization that the region’s authoritarian regimes and controlled economies are unable to offer opportunity to their predominantly young populations, metal and rap have been elevated as channels to express discontent. Their role is enhanced by the Internet and other technologies for mass distribution that make government control difficult and allow musicians and their fans to carve out autonomous spaces that shield them from intrusion by censors and other cultural scolds."
