     In ‘The mental diaspora of the networks’, Baudrillard offers a way to read the effect of réalité intégrale in rendering impotent media exposure of presidential misdeeds and incompetence as well as providing insight into some of the current regime’s most symptomatic pop-cultural moments.

   • 2014, Josephine Metcalf, Will Turner, “Introduction: “It’s got to feel real but not be real” (Ice-T)”, in Rapper, Writer, Pop-Cultural Player: Ice-T and the Politics of Black Cultural Production, Ashgate Publishing, →ISBN, page 4:

     Ice-T presents himself as a pop-cultural mogul, presiding over the growth of hip-hop as a multi-national and cross-platform empire.

Yet the wider significance of Ice-T’s pop-cultural prominence is hotly contested.

     I was an editor at the magazine Spex at that time, that is, around 1992 and 1993, and to us, it was partly obvious, partly nonsense, that klangkunst, krautrock (see Papenburg in this book), and techno of the early nineties, a very pop-cultural thing, would have a lot in common with each other.
