Blackface during Black History Month

In the year 2008 we have a black man running for president.... and we get this!!
There is an Obama Station in Fukui Perfecture, in Japan. Japanese blog Daily Portal Z, went to do a story and decided blackface would be appropriate...... whwhwhh whaaat?!


Ironically before i received this link (asante InfodivaMLIS!!) the night before watching the boob tube I view the newest DISHnetwork ad with Frank Caliendo. Frank C., is a great impersonator... so in this ad, he is impersonating Charles Barkley, in what.. yesss.. Blackface! Funny thang (not really) Frank C, did this same bit infront of Barkley on TNT, and the militant Bark did not bite, or do anything. Similar to Jimmy Kimmel doing Karl Malone... (i could not stomache putting the video of Jim K, talking incorrect English in blackface)

...and just wait til halloween when we all get emailed some new pictures of some college party with white kids in blackface.

News organizations and ingnant folk have the nerve to say race relations are getting better, like racists dont exists anymore. They do. Then, the talk of "politically correct" - like race, gender, and beliefs dont have value in this society. Race, gender and beliefs have changed this world with wars, slavery, servitude, predujice, etc., so it is of high importance to respect beliefs, races and cultures. Step your game up black folk, many of the struggles we have fought against still exist.

The Lynching of Hip Hop, by the Hippocrates !!!

The Congress called a hearing on Hip Hop called, 'From Imus to Industry: The business of stereotypes and degrading images,' but peep, with no Imus. Video clips, reading of lyrcis with the N word, B word, and all that. This hearing supposedly is to discuss the blame for "sexist and degrading language in hip-hop music."


Didnt we see this before?? With C. Delores Tucker, the attack on Tupac, Luke and the 2 Live Crew, and upon African bodies hanging from trees as strange fruit all across this land. Is the Naacp hanging a noose in NY because they trying to hang mo niggers. In 2007 we have been rallying for the Freedom of the Jena 6, and now we need to rally for the Freedom of Hip Hop!


Lets make this plain. This land called Amerikkka was founded on genocide and slavery, it continues to profit in this way throughout its policies home and abroad. But Black Males who grab a mic are the problem? That dont fly, homie. Dont do dat dunn. Now Congress calls Hip Hop to the table, not Don Imus, not President Bush, no Larry Flynt, not Ozzy Osborne, not .... hope u get the point. As Chuck D would say it, Who are the Real Criminals? This farce mixed with some truth, brought out Master P, David Banner, Michael Eric Dyson, and a host full of "hip hop" intelligencia.... basically folks who write about hip hop but are not hip hop. Props due to D. Banner for holding it down, referring to Slavery, Katrina and the assault on Black Males.

Michael Eric Dyson, also brought the pain along with Lisa Fager from Industry Ears who brought out statistics on media and many great examples. Rep. Bobby Rush (former Black Panther) said he is a fan of hip hop, and brought out many great questions. Fans, makers and artists in hip hop stand together, the real attack is on the power of the Black Male, otherwise we would see this focus on all forms of entertainment and media. Davey D provided some audio links to the hearings.... keep ya ear to daundaground fo mo.

Free Hip Hop!

Bay History

my response to this posted by Davey D, featuring an interview with Kayhree in Muderdog. Here is the article

hotep.

this aint nothing new around the bay. in the 90s old heads will remember Daundaground and the other powerful folks in the BAY AREA HIP-HOP COALITION
aka: BAHHC . Formed to have a movement in bay area radio. The bay needs this kind of organizing back, and then some. Hate to put it out there but we were the revolutionaires of this time... fighting against a university, letters from the government, and we played BAY music... in fact we were the only station doing so.... just like today you heard a lot of east coast and other.

KMEL has never been for the community, never. You may have had some people who were there who were trying to make change but the station the establishment, never. We were the anti-kmel.
You young cats dont remember how they did the Godfather Too Short?! He even had to make a song about them. Ive been waiting for years for the bay to get it together, build a station, build a real bay label with everybody, really show our power. Part of the added problem the real Djs from the community dont get shine, they prop up these folks who wouldnt ever be down with these artists, and put them on radio, and now they down and a celebrity. With they fake antics, they adopted slang.. and all that... i dont listen to the radio and you shouldnt either, unless its college radio, who attempts to keep the music relative. And yes a large portion of you youngstas, and KMEL was never down with Mac Dre... i remember when a lot of the bay was serious hating on Dre while he was locked up....! Now they got him on a shirt like he latest fashion.

Yes the bay needs to take it back to the MOBB. Where we didnt make music for the radio. When the Hyphy youngstas start learning their history, and start listening to the game from the MOBB artists.... VWhite, Richie Rich, Deliquents, Askari X, Keak... etc. may be we can form a real movement. Can u dig dat?
