My president is black, my lambo's blue

First and foremost, I would like to thank Mr. Jeezy for letting us know all about the ups and downs of the business cycle and therefore rightfully named his new CD "The Recession". He knows times are rough, thats why he spends most of the album rapping about guns, making a rediculous amount of money (rapping, or trying to protray a drug smuggler), fucking bitches and driving his blue Lambragini.
Anyway, I have been listening to the radio for the past couple weeks. I've noticed an influx of Obama related rap songs. From Young Jeezy's "My president is black" (Thanks Jeezy, I had no idea) to Ron Brownz "Pop Champagne" remix. Rap stations were also giving away tickets to Obama crunkfests before the inauguration. It's the change we all can believe in!

Young Jeezy ft. Nas "My President is Black"

Jeezy:
Yeah, be the realest shit I never wrote
I ain't write this by the way nigga, some real shit right here nigga
This'll be the realest shit you ever quote

My president is black, my Lambo's blue
And I'll be goddamned if my rims ain't too
......
Stuntin on Martin Luther, feelin just like a king
Guess this is what he meant when he said that he had a dream

first of all.... what the fuck is this shit. I am assuming people listen to his music because it is well produced and not for the lyrical content. Once again he reiterates that our president is black, and that his lambo is blue? I honestly don't know what to say about the comparison. I am just glad Jeezy passed kindergarten. Martin Luther's dream has manifested itself, with the inauguration of Obama and races and creeds all over America are united with a common goal. Of course his dream is not fully complete, with rappers portraying a heavily materialistic lifestyle, with people aspiring live the same lifestyle these rappers talk about.

Nas:
Mr. Black President, yo Obama for real
They gotta put your face on the five-thousand dollar bill

Thanks again Nas, I forgot he was black. Nas obviously would have alot of those five-thousand dollar bills and the common person would be very unlikely to get their hands on one. Should someone carry around that much money at one time? (Unless you deal drugs, or evading taxation)

I am not saying this to really attack rap, as I am a fan of it. I just wanted to shed some light on this because it's retarded. How can rappers talk seriously about politicians, then go out and rap about making money, guns and "bitches". There is probably a very good chance these rappers would blindly follow Obama without knowing his stances on issues. I thought that maybe because Obama spoke of change and progress, popular culture wouldn't stay the same and progress to something more enlightening. You can rap about anything, why stick with the same old boring shit.

Busta Rhymes Ft. Ron Brownz "Pop Champagne"

We pop champagne for Barack’s campaign
We voted for a change, now we made it
No disrespect to McCain or Palin
To all my people in the street that always bang this in their truck

- we pop champagne

Caucasian Rastafarians (Trustafarians)

This has become quite the fad that spreads from suburban town to suburban town all over the United States. Good indicators include perfectly symmetrical [dread]locks, stupid looking beads on them, one or more article of clothing that is red, green and gold, glazed eyes and a severe case of the munchies. You can usually catch one of these at your local parties most likely drinking a red stripe.

Members of this circle all coincidentally have an obsession over Reggae music. Don't get me wrong, I love reggae music as much as the next person, but I can not really relate to the lyrical content that the majority of reggae music portrays. These "Rastas" obviously know about the hardships and tribulations of those living in the extremely impoverished ghettos and feel a strong connection with them, as the trust fund Rastafarians commonly referred to as Trustafarians, know extremely well.

Did you know that 1% of the Jamaican population are actual Rastafarian? and did you know that in each suburban town .2-1% of the population are Rastafarian? Amazing, huh? Obviously the strife in suburbia has significantly become worse, maybe due to the constant socio-economic oppression from "Babylon." *Cough.thewest.Cough*

Caucasian Rastafarians are the appitomy of hypocrites. According to the Rastafari doctorines, one should abstain from alcohol as once again, it's a product of babylon. What they do follow strictly about the religon is the smoking of herbs and the meditiation involved when they do. These people stay meditating, at school, driving to work, driving to a party, while in a state of drunken debochary (most likely to repent for sins), and pretty much anytime in between.
Blind faith for the man Haile Selassie, who doesn't even endorse this religon whatsoever.

White Rastafarians are ignorant even though follow a culture other than their own. Not all these "Rastas" are like this though and I am just generalizing, but they make up a minority of those that follow. My thumbs up to those followers, who don't drink, smoke (and auctally meditate), politcally aware, eat "ital" and don't try to make a point about themselves by wearing Jamacian/Rastafarian/Ethopia colored clothing.

Boliva called, they want their colors back.

First post

Welcome to my blog, don't expect too much from it as it is my first one, but we will see. Anyway, I am going to use this blog to rant about things that bother me, from pop culture to politics and everything in between.
I will try and do this at least once a day, but knowing me, once every blue moon. I don't mean to offend anyone on this page (sometimes). I just wanted to bring attention to some of these things people notice or don't notice in an effort to get people thinking.
Once again these are just my own two cents and I am no Yale grad. Feel free to tear these upcoming ideas apart as I enjoy constructive criticisms.

Here it goes...
