oh & heres a post i forgot to put up, more Obama..

countless of videos to persuade you to vote for Barack Obama, whether you choose to or not is on you ..but do vote!


Jin - Open Letter to Obama


reggaeton!! lol


even a "This is why Im Hot" remix..

tell your mama to vote for obama

lololll

& recently Russell Simmons and Jay-Z went public about endorsing Obama

Today I am announcing my personal endorsement of Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States. During the last nine months, I have closely observed the presidential campaigns, analyzed the issues and platforms of the major candidates, and have had substantive discussions with Senator Clinton and Senator Obama. From the sidelines of the primaries and debates, I have been particularly inspired by the fact that Senator Obama has built an unprecedented, national movement comprised of people from all ethnic, racial, political, social and economic backgrounds.

In particular, the response to Obama by young voters across America continues to be monumental. Obama's leadership, passion and demand for a change resonates effectively with the aspirations of millions of people who want a better quality of life. This is truly a transcendent and historic moment in American politics and I am obligated not to remain on the sidelines.

Although I have great respect for the accomplishments of Senator Clinton and I have personally worked with Senator Clinton successfully on issues concerning education, prison reform and poverty, I am now compelled by my own personal conscience to publicly state, "I support and endorse Barack Obama for President."

As the Chairman of the non-partisan, nonprofit The Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, it is my personal opinion that Senator Obama's campaign for President has and will continue to transcend race in America and have a profound positive impact on the very issues I have been fighting for my whole life. Many of you know my work as Chairman of the non-partisan, nonprofit Hip-Hop Summit Action Network. Hip-Hop as a cultural phenomenon is also about transformation and taking action to end poverty, war and ignorance. While I am endorsing Senator Obama as a private citizen, I am in complete solidarity with the transformative consciousness of the growing number artists and young people from the hip-hop generation that are overwhelmingly supporting Obama.

Russell Simmons

Jay-Z on Obama


Honestly I never seen so many people getting involved, yes one of the reasons may be because I am older, my friends are older ..but also because we want change.

8 years of Bush is waaaay more than enough (still amazed how that happend)

They wanna rap and make soul beats just like you..

okkkk so I got some free time, got out of work early today & have time to kill until class.

I should of listend to my mom & sandman and go hoooome because i def had enough time to do so, but instead i come to school early so i can do my paper.

I banged it out & now I still have time to kill ...dammit!

lol, but thats when the blog comes in..

MCEO: Mixtape Trailer

So not only are Mick Boogie and Talib Kweli putting out this new mixtape, MCEO, on their own on Monday (check mickboogie.com, myspace.com/talibkweli and illroots.com), but they decided to do everything else, too. Talib is the MC and the CEO (hence "MCEO") and Mick is the DJournalist. Mick's first work is below. He asked the tough questions and sometimes, he even answered them. Still, URB.com is the OG source, so remember where you heard aobut this new project first, as well as the promise of a reunion we've all been waiting for (but not the big reunion we've all been waiting for).

here's the interview with Mick & Talib with Urb Magazine








Kanye posted a few pics from the video Home on his blog, i think i like him more & more everyday =]



oh man ..this is hilarious, ya KNOW how much i hate weezy right lololol

Sundays being the only day I can now jus reeelax & shit, i had a few errands to run ..but fuck that, i just wanna lay in my bed right now ..had a long damn week! lolol



So thats exactly what I'm doing, laying down & watching the Cavs game

..& LeBron James is a beast for reals, i remember reading something earlier this week LeBron made 10,000 points at the age of 23 and 59 days!!
(Kobe made 10,000 at the age of 24 and 193 days)

..& also is LeBron making any plans leaving the Caveliers??

hmmm ..i read two interesting articles about this possible move, weighing out the options of possible teams and this one about LeBrons relationship with Jay-Z, making a possibility it might be to the Nets???




i can see it happening!!!



& speaking of Jay-Z, he's on a Mavado track?!

Rakim - It's Nothin
Finally an official studio version.

Rakim - Hip Hop

Rakim's Seventh Seal to be released this year. "The number 7 has a lot of significance. The 7th letter of the alphabet is G -- that stands for God. There are 7 continents, 7 seas. The 'Seventh Seal' deals with that and also some revelations in the Bible...Some call it the end of the world, but for me it's the end of the old and the beginning of the new. By me naming my album that, I'm using it metaphorically in hip-hop. I'm hoping to kill the old state of hip-hop and start with the new." - Rakim


The Roots - 75 Bars (Black’s Reconstruction)
