Simon V. Kodwo

Just stumbled upon this brilliant interview that's 10 plus years old between Simon Reynolds and Kodwo Eshun. Sounds like we're still struggling with some of the stuff they're talking about over here in American music criticism, though I would say that the internet has reduced the problem to a certain extent (thanks, in no small part, to the globalization of sites like Pitchfork, PopMatters, Resident Advisor, Dusted, et al.).
