the gore vidal of rap or still a cornball in fact?

Don’t ask me why. But every now and again, I look around the internet to see what Anticon is up to. Well, Sole from Anticon has recorded perhaps the worst rap song in history, or the ballsiest song since ahem, “Makeshift Patriot” by Sage Francis.

“My President is Black, and that don’t mean jack” . Sole says on the hook of the first anti-Obama Hip Hop song, that sends up Young Jeezy’s Black Nationalist anthem. He makes a good point every now and again. Then fucks it up by either making fun of how black people talk or saying some shit about how spicy the food he found in the trash prolly is.

Last week I was contacted by MoveOn.org to put something together for an email blast they are doing for the lead up to the inauguration. This one is called “Victory Lap: The Obama Mix Pt. 2”. It’s my way of congratulating all of us for electing what I think is the right person for the job. We made history and I’m proud to be a part of that. Yes, my friends, it is time to celebrate, but please don’t lose sight of the mess we are still in, there is plenty of work that lies ahead.

Salute. Black Nationalism is the new Patriot Act.

 Today marks the official beginning of Barack Obama’s presidency.  The above video is of Young Jeezy’s “My President is Black”  being performed live in  Washington, DC on the eve of this historic day. The album verison of “My President” has Nas. But once again Nas lost; Nasir  didn’t make it DC, I guess. Jay-z raps instead,  jokingly saying “My president is black but he is infact  half-white. So even in a racist’s mind he is alright.” I still love Jeezy’s verse though for the line, “Be all that you can be. Don’t that sound like some dumb shit.”

 Congrats America. You can look at yourself in the mirror for the first time in awhile.

I just spent twenty minutes looking for an online flyer for Hugs N Kisses “Black Tuesday” Show. Eventually I gave up looking for something that is used for a promotional tool and set the flyer on the floor and took a picture of it on my cellphone. Anyway Hugs N Kisses are throwing an pro-government party at Carabar. Here are two songs they just dropped off to celebrate our countries’ political system. Should be funny. Last time I saw Hugs N Kisses, Donnie Monaco shit in a fishtank and yelled shitgaze.

MP3:Hugs N Kisses-Barack Obama’s Theme Music

Barack Obama spoke on the Statehouse Lawn yesterday.Downtown was completely swarmed by Obama’s movement. According to The Toledo Blade 60,000 people showed up. John Glenn, Mayor Coleman, and Governor Strickland were all in the building, er I mean on the lawn. It was actually pretty amazing to see that many people actually caring about something.

Normally I would never advocate being involved with politics. And I would especially never advocate downloading a political mixtape that involves Jay-Z. But if Mkkkain wins we will be forced to hear a bunch of coward liberals complaining all the time about shit they have no intention of doing anything about. So I want Obama to win so that I won’t have look at most the political people around me as lazy, uninteresting and impotent. I am also voting for Obama because he got Young Jeezy’s endorsement. And Jeezy is about his people, his paper and proper mental health. Sidney Portier, what it do. Russell Simmons, and Green Lantern prolly have other reasons. So they put this tape together.
