I'm hot cause I'm fly: a classic test of the epistemological question of whether there exists any non-trivial a priori knowledge

Perhaps you have heard the chart-topping rap song This is Why I'm Hot, by Mims?

You might think I'm about to complain about the tautology inherent in this assertion:

I'm hot cause I'm fly
You ain't cause you're not

It's vapid, but so is plenty of popular music. Let's let it slide. What I do want to comment on is this, right in the first verse:

This is why I'm hot
I don't gotta rap
I can sell a mill saying nothing on the track

Wow. I think he just ... called you stupid for buying his music. Or else it's meta-rap: an indictment of the commodification of music and the tendency of the corporatized music industry to promote mass-market pablum, which Mims has cleverly inserted into the otherwise derivative and bland lyrics of just such mass-market pablum!

It would be like ... if a fashion model arranged to die of anorexia on the runway and only the occasional audience member noticed, while everyone else complimented this season's lean silhouettes and bought up all the clothes.

Update: Whoa, huge props to Rob Harvilla for this piece in the Voice. Thanks to multiple people for bringing it to my attention.
