Hip Hop Articles and Feature Stories



Have U Registered Ur Local Crackhead/ Gangbanger to Vote? When I drive around "da hood" I see the parking lot kings and queens reigning supreme, malt liquor in hand hollering "nigga this" and "nigga that." I see us pushing carts up and down street, sleeping on bus stops, cars rolling by with the booming system on 20-inch rims with tinted windows being driven by grown ass men who are banging and still living at home with Mama...



Last Night's VP Debate-What Did You Think? As the debate dragged on several disturbing things emerged. First, for many it became a contest of personalities more than substance. Lots of folks including myself, talked about home-girl's cocky smirk. It rarely left her face. She seemed phony too me and somewhat arrogant. Perhaps she was so smug because she knew that all she had to do was survive and not embarass hers....


The Big Payback: O.J. Simpson I think it's clear that Black America is no longer in O.J.'s corner and once your ghetto pass is revoked, it's almost impossible to get it back.Just ask country singer Cowboy Troy, who sung at this year's Republican National Convention, Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, commentator Armstrong Williams, and Bill and Hillary Clinton...



Filmaker Michael Moore's 10 Point Bailout Plan THE RICH MUST PAY FOR THEIR OWN BAILOUT. They may have to live in 5 houses instead of 7. They may have to drive 9 cars instead of 13. The chef for their mini-terriers may have to be reassigned. There is no way in hell, that working people and the middle class are going to fork over one dime to underwrite the next yacht purchase....
