friday means rap music

so much in the world today to talk about, and when you are in washington dc, aka dodge city, and the nationals aren't in town guess what the topic is? you got it, the presidential election. i'm not talking about two black republicans, nas and jay-z, i'm talking about hillary rodham "i've still got $12mil in the war chest from the senate race, and i just want to start a conversation with the people" clinton. despite the $$ and her attempt at launching a multi-media campaign, it's about the last name. i'm not sold on her blog and pod route, but at this point, she has a better awarness amongst the older black population, and arguably younger, as well, but senator obama is the great light hype, and there are 21 months until the big day in November. as for backhandedly launching a campaign, senator hagel this week went after bush, and that will stand as a much better buzz tool than hillary's cheesy pleas. tucker carlson was literally spooging spasmodically on msnbc. so february will be interesting. shortest month of the year, it is dedicated to black history, and you wonder if obama's camp has something up their sleeves. maybe blasting syl johnson's "is it because i'm black." johnson's daughter shares many of the same letters in her name, syleena, and you know her from "all falls down", by kanye, where she is heard belting out the hook. anyway, anyone want to make a bet on how november '08 is going to pan out?

is it because i'm black by syl johnson. amazing song. listen for the, "if you're half-white, light brown skinned, or a high yellow, you're still black!" the record was a 1970 movement towards black unity.

hollow bones by the wu tang clan. also an amazing song, for all together different reasons.
