Hip Hop & Politics: Condi for US VP?

Barack has inspired so many Hip Hop artists to be actively involved in the political process. Even Jay-Z has reportedly been promoting Barack Obama for President in his show with Mary J Blige. Well recently, hip hop websites are buzzin' about Condi's possible run as VP with John McCain on the Republican ticket. (ABC)


Personally, aside from the Will I AM video, I am starting to hear Barack's name in more and more Hip Hop/R&B songs. Even UK's Estelle makes mention of him in her song with Musiq Soulchild, People Everyday... If Condi gets the nomination, I wonder how she will start poppin up in lyrics....

I'm willing to place my bets that if she does get the nomination, there will be more haterade for her than there has been for Billary, for several reasons. Among them - she's scarier because she's smarter, has more savvy, is more conniving and can probably kick both their azzes in a steet fight. Don't get it twisted, Condi is mo' gangsta than Suge Knight. She'll murder yo a**, defend her own self in a supreme court (or a federal investigation), get off scott free, get paid in the process and be like NEXT!!

Flava reppin the global Hip Hop movement!
