POLITRICKS 2008: Whosayin’ Hussein McCain?!?

October 15th, 2008

I knew that the politricks of fear would come out sooner than later. The idea that BARACK OBAAMA is an Arab, therefore he is connected to terrorism is simpleminded even for national political propaganda, but when this notion is repeated ad nauseam it begins to stick on the wall.

Do people need a reason NOT to vote for OBAAMA? Yes, of course they do. Americans always need a reason to justify the shit they know in their craw is bullshit. Who does BARACK HUSSEIN OBAAMA think he is anyway by not changing his family name? Half of America changed their name when they came through Eliis Island. The other half had it changed for them at Goree Island.

What the fuck does a name mean anyhoo? Do you think I would let G Dubbz turn me off to BUSH even though he effed the planet the eff up? I was never into DICK [ll] so that keeps me 100 when we talk about CHENEY. This administration had the possibility of forever ruining the words ‘dick and ‘bush’. There would be no joy left in sex. Shout out to the Reverend CALVIN BUTTS.

We don’t choose our names, but we do choose how we treat the people we come in contact with. We do choose what we want our legacy to stand for. At the end of the day there is nothing valuable in a name if the person holding it is hollow and heartless.

New York State Of Mind…

ROBBIE from UnKut asked me to go in on some tracks he compiled to see which one I thought should be considered the quintessential NYC anthem.

While NaS has crafted some incredible songs paying homage to the City everyone has to bow down to Kool G Rap’s ‘Streets Of New York’. The song is on par with a Monet masterpiece from a musical standpoint.

Don’t just take my word for it (or do), you can listen to all the music that I reviewed for UnKut, and even put in your own vote for the greatest NYC anthem of all time.

Is It Daddy Yankee’s Birthday?

So then why are all of the Mexicans drunk?

I read this article about Daddy Yankee moderating some debate in Mexico, or wherever Puerto Ricans come from, and the following day, no lie, I saw like a dozen Mexicans laid out in the street drunk. The weather has been pretty nice during the day but nighttime has been getting brick. I figured these dudes were all getting twisted because of Daddy Yankee.

The talk has been that Daddy Yankee was getting amnesty for all the day laborers and the delivery men without citizen status. You know how the U.S. likes to keep immigrants always in fear that their ass might get deported or some shit if they get too uppity. Immigrants keep their mouths shut in general because of this. But now, thanks to Daddy Yankee a lot of Mexicans are feeling like they can speak their minds now.

I have fucked with Mexicans for the longest time. They have the best beer – Negro Modelo. They have the best food – bandeja paisa. And they have the hottest broad in the game – America Ferrara. Let’s never forget to speak the names of Daisy Fuentes and Salma Hayek either. For the next presidential election cycle I expect to see a Mexican running for either major party. Maybe this was why the Mexicans were all laid out on the sidewalk. They had O.D.’d while celebrating the notion of their socio-political emancipation. I can definitely relate to that.

It turns out that it was Dia del Cristofo Colom yesterday. So all the Mexicans were getting drunk in honor of that dude. It made sense to me since Mexicans love Spain more than themselves. Fools were tore up from the floor up too. What I will never understand is how Mexicans manage to get so effed the eff up from those tiny little cans of Budweiser. I need about four tall boys of Bud to even feel buzzed. [ll] to drinking tall boys.

The relationship that people have with their colonizers is always interesting to me. The folks in Barbados were British-loving to a fault. People living in the U.K. don’t romanticize their country as much as the Bajans do. Nevermind that these dudes were one of the colonies that Britain disenfranchised early they still love that place liked cooked food. Everyone in school or work there dresses like a goddamned bobby.

I’m glad that Mexicans love Columbus though. No particular reason. Just glad.

DP.COM MANNY WATCH…

The Phillies still have the Dodgers in the hole [ll].

MANNY RAMIREZ has been an RBI machine and he has put L.A. squarely on his back, but the Phils look too deep for the Dodgers to eff with. Tonight’s game is huge because if the Dodgers win they will knot up their series with Philadelphia at 2-2. If Los Angeles doesn’t win then I expect the Phils to wrap up the National League Championship series on the first game back in Philadelphia.

Will destiny prevail?
