The GOP going Hip Hop!?!?

 

What up, ya’ll!!!

If you know anything about me, you know I like to start stuff. But I ain’t about starting no crazy racial stuff. However, I really like to shed light on the ignorance of others and make fun of the stupid be you black or white. I’m an equal opportunity girl………………Enjoy! 

 

Have you ever been sitting in front of your television only to see something so retarded that you said to yourself, “WTF is this “ish”!?!?! Well I said that to myself a few days ago. Here I am watching television and low and behold there it was. Republican National Token…….oops, I sorry………. Republican National Committee Chairman Michael S. Steele plans to bring a “hip hop makeover” to the Republican Party. I couldn’t believe this ish so I had to go to the source. Yep, there it was in black and white from the Washington Times. In the words of Mr. Steele:

“We need messengers to really capture that region – young, Hispanic, black, a cross section … We want to convey that the modern-day GOP looks like the conservative party that stands on principles. But we want to apply them to urban-surburban hip-hop settings.”

Now the plan of Mr. Steele is to take Obama’s grassroot campaign, known in the hood as “street teaming” and place a GOP twist. How the Republicans with their rather clueless understanding of the Latino and African American culture plan to appeal to such an audience is beyond me. But here are some things they may want to consider in aiming for their audience of hip hip:

 

 1.  If you don’t understand the culture, you sure as hell can’t talk to the culture! Here is a little example of what I’m talking about!

 

 

2.  If you report something concerning hip hop, report it like someone who has heard more than Vanilla Ice or Sir Mix-A-Lot . Now in this example, I can understand how Jezzy’s celebratory remarks may have been offensive to some. But in understanding hip hop as a whole, hip hop has never been “politically correct” to begin with. Whether you’re talking about artist like Common, Luda or Snoop, hip hop has always been an art form that rebels a given system and speaks the language of its origin….the streets! And when one doesn’t understand the art form, they have a tendency to clump all hip hip in the same category and take everything out of context due to that ignorance. Let’s take the Republican voice, Fox News for example…..

 

3.  When you have Rush Limbaugh, one who was called the voice of conservatism by former President Reagen, making hits like the following, that just ain’t good PR for your hip hop audience…….you, think!

 

4.  In order to appeal to the hip hop audience you have to have “street cred” aka “political endorsements”. Now what hip hop artists would put there career and street credibility on the line given the three examples I just gave?!?!

So in a nutshell, when it comes to the Republican Party trying to reach the hip hip youth……..how do I say this…..just because you’r f**** up  doesn’t mean you need to pass it on to the next generation. Why don’t you try another strategy like “Palin for Vice President”……oh, I’m sorry, you tried that already…gosh darn it!!!
