Does Hip-Hop Support Barack Obama?

Peace yall,

Now that is a good question. YouTube video not withstanding the Hip-Hop Community has been eerily silent on the question of ParlorTricks right now and more specifically Barack Obama versus Bill's Wife...my bad Hilary Rodham Clinton.

Where are you Hip-Hop family? Who do you support? Who do you feel out of all the candidates best represents your ideas and ideals?

Well just recently as reported on Global Grind (The Russell Simmons Project) Mr. Hip-Hop Pop himself has officially endorsed Barack Obama. You can read the article here: http://www.globalgrind.com/ContentDetail.aspx?cid=12573 now I'm in Cali so we already put down our votes for the folks (I put my mark on Barack) what sealed the deal for me is that BET interview and him openly saying that he listens to Kanye, Jay-Z and Common in his iPod. Can Hilary even throw up the Roc sign? I know her husband just semi apologized for the unfair drug sentencing he was a part of establishing. Now I don't know about you but if I spent the last 15 years in prison for slangin' on the block and someone told me that I did 10 more years than the white boy moving powder I might be a little upset about it. But I guess saying sorry makes the jail time so worth it.

By the way...Hilary was there, remember she is the one with all the "experience".
Who do you support Hip-Hop Community?

The Farrakhan Test

Peace Yall,

Well once again we have the true motives of this country in your face. Since when does a person become "O.K., cool, a good boy or 'one of us'" after successfully answering the Farrakhan Question? Obama has now entered the Big Time! When they publicly FORCE you to repudiate Minister Farrakhan then you have truly arrived into the inner sanctuary of "White World" (Jewish Friendship). Now for those that are not clear or that have blurry vision if you are not going to be friendly to Israel then you don't get to play with the big folks. So the Farrakhan question is always on the table.

The web site www.finalcall.com reported:

"Min. Farrakhan went on to say that the litmus test concerning himself given to Sen. Obama should also be given to Sen. Hillary Clinton and other presidential candidates.

The Minister said he did not want the "mischief makers" to use his words to try to hurt Mr. Obama or himself."

I would caution Obama to be very careful as to not allow those that have a history of throwing the rock and hiding the hand and causing division among families to separate him from those that he has long identified with. Obama very skillfully handled Mrs. Clintons "forced - make you repudiate Minister Farrakhan" banter.

If saying I don't like somebody makes you happy then here you go I don't like such and such????? What the hell does that matter to anything? Or does it matter more than the American public actually knows? 23 years ago it was Reverend Jackson who was forced to denounce his own Black family to the delight of those that have a history of hate for all things not them. And they have made him do so for the last 23 years.

Mr. Obama must continue to be wise in how he handles the more sinister elements of this country and world least he find himself on the opposite side of all of the accolades of the people. Not that he is any Jesus but if you remember the story the same multitude that were screaming Hosanna in the highest ended up being the same folks screaming "Crucify Him"!

Peace,

State of the Black Union

Peace yall,

O.K. so Hillary showed up. And man was that painful...she was up there doing that canned prepared speech and the folks were not responding. And everytime the cameras showed the audience you can see that the Hip Hop Generation was not feeling her at all. Sure she got a few claps, I'm sure that the bulk of the audience had some basic Black Home Training. I kind of felt bad for her up there all white and all alone in a room full of Black Folks that I know would have been bouncing off the walls had Barak showed up. Good for him he didn't as I felt it was a political mistake for Hillary to go when no one else would. Tavis and his request had it's own political reasoning (who would have tuned in otherwise?).

Mrs. Clinton needs some young Hip Hop based folks in her cam-pain as advisors. And for all that hype talk and bullshit about her husband being the "First black President" her political team doesn't give me that impression. You can blow your horn or get your horn blown...it still don't make you BLACK.

Hip Hop Community we have some hard choices to make this election. Mr. Obama has my nod so far if for no other reason because he had the balls to say that he listens to Jay-Z, Common, Nas and others in his IPod. Keep it reall homie, keep it real.
