Ok I tried not to use any big words but these are quotes:

"English departments have been packed by deconstructionists who insist that
Shakespeare is no better than rap music." Platt's Boy Barone.

Ok, this is a hard one from Wiki but you can skip it if it hurts your head:

"Deconstruction is a term in contemporary philosophy, literary criticism,
and the social sciences, denoting a process by which the texts and languages
of Western philosophy (in particular) appear to shift and complicate in
meaning when read in light of the assumptions and absences they reveal
within themselves." -Wiki

More Wiki but littler words this time:

"Postmodernism is a developing set of perspectives that call into question
the Western modernist assumption that Truth or an objective reality can be
possibly known... Deconstruction is a term which is used to denote the
application of postmodern ideas of criticism, or theory, to a "text" or
"artifact", based on architectural deconstructivism." Wiki

Now moosh this together and you get something like this:

"But if Quality or excellence is seen as the ultimate reality then it
becomes possible for more than one set of truths to exist. Then one doesn't
seek the absolute Truth.' One seeks instead the highest quality intellectual
explanation of things with the knowledge that if the past is any guide to
the future this explanation must be taken provisionally; as useful until
something better comes along. One can then examine intellectual realities
the same way one examines paintings in an art gallery, not with an effort to
find out which one is the 'real' painting, but simply to enjoy and keep
those that are of value. There are many sets of intellectual reality in
existence and we can perceive some to have more quality than others, but
that we do so is, in part, the result of our history and current patterns of
values." RMP - Lila

So see there Bob says Hiphop is better than Shakespeare and you wouldn't
want to disagree with Bob now would you, Biatch?
