I have enjoyed Ta-Nehisi Coates' work since discovering him in the Village Voice. My review copy of his new book showed up the other day. Unfortunately it got in behind The Politics of Inequality, A Political History of the Idea of Economic Inequality in America by Michael J. Thompson, which is not something I want to skim. So in the mean time, check out this video The Atlantic folk put together for him.

If I had time, I'd transcribe it and stud it with links to lyrics and essays and resources.
