lost in translation: ludacris is politically here

ooooo i love it! more overt examples of hip hop's engagemnet in politics ...

i am sure some of you have heard about obama and ludacris ... ludacris made a song, "politics: obama is here," and obama denounced it blah blah ...

of course obama denounced it! hip hop is still villified ... he can't be associated with us clown ass negroes ... and i'm glad he knows it ... he knows how to play the game.

moving on: the song is hilarious and great! i just love hearing on my speakers "hillary hated so that bitch is irrelevant." YES! IRRELEVANT :) here's a clip of the song:



in the world of hip hop we all understand that ludacris did not in fact call hillary a bitch but referred to her using the pronoun, "bitch." now, the outside world and most presidential campaign managers will translate this song much differently (as they already have) ....

why do i love to hear this shit on my speakers? because it's art and opinion. it is not fact. i like to hear my experience expressed out loud and in public. i like to hear my world reflected in my speakers. it's also known as --- FREEDOM OF SPEECH. nothing more, nothing less.

you can read more and/or listen to an npr broadcast on this topic.

i can't wait for the fuckin REMIX bitches ..... ;0
