Wow, I think you're over-analyzing this. First, there's a lot of misogyny in rap music, I agree, but it's too easy, and wrong, to dismiss all of it as misogynistic, ultra-masculine braggadocio. There are just too many sub-genres for a simplistic definition. And, if you spend time listening to rap lyrics, you'll come across some truly profound verses; some of Lupe Fiasco's stuff is just mind-blowing. I think Ben Horowitz simply appreciates rap as an art form and enjoys summarizing his posts with applicable verses. Does there have to be more to it than that?
