turn off

turn off the radio, turn off that bullsh** - Dead Prez
such truth, i was flipping through the channels on tv and looking for something to watch and came across a clip of a rap music video. Flo Rida, it sucked.
no substance in the lyrics, just a waste of cd's and tv time. but it sells.
it such a shame. just in the rap arena you have so many other artists who are mad better (lupe fiasco, krs one, dead prez, mos def, talib kweli)
they don't get half the respect they deserve, cause nowadays its not cool to have a stance on the poor. its not cool to be saying things that mean something, that cause you to think. just pump some nonsense beats and get it in the club. talk about "hoes, bitches, money, dubs, gold this gold that, drugs, being hard in the streets."
there is so much more to rap about

Hip-Hop Lives
"Hip means to know
It's a form of intelligence
To be hip is to be up-date and relevant
Hop is a form of movement
You can't just observe a hop
You got to hop up and do it
Hip and Hop is more than music
Hip is the knowledge
Hop is the movement
Hip and Hop is intelligent movement
Or relevant movement" - KRS-One

just pisses me off, put out what sells rather than what matters.
secondly, why republican and democrat?
why not question the candidates on moral issues rather than attack them cause they are in a different party?

reading "God's Politics" by Jim Wallis. talks about finding what we have in common and going on that. rather than pushing hidden agenda's just be real.

love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul and mind, and love your neighbors as yourself - Luke 10:27

.thats all.
