Jody Rosen's article on Jay-Z
by dasmeet
Jody

"We await the release of the rapper's forthcoming Blueprint 3 album for Jay-Z's rants against the cotton gin and the steam engine."

Maybe I'm being a little sensitive, but don't you think this was a little insensitive considering that the cotton gin was responsible for slavery expansion in a really profound way. I know it was a joke, but perhaps the wrong choice of antiquated tool. I imagine you didn't realize and now feel bad. Not my intention. Just trying to get you to think a bit more and perhaps edit a bit more.

SIncerely,
Dave
