Barack Obama, Green Lantern, & Russell Simmons - The Yes We Can Mixtape
I held off on posting this until I had a good listening to it. I can now say.. “I am DJ Franchise and I approve of this mixtape.” Green Lantern had worked on this for months to create a positive, fluid mixtape that Obama himself and his constituents would be proud of. Great messages, impressive editing, and overall something I would let my mom listen to. I have found my morning soundtrack till Nov. 4th. After the jump tracklisting but before that Jay-Z tells you not to be fooled by the naysayers.
I will be doing my small part to get Obama in office by DJing at a Fundrasier/Gathering for Obama tomorrow evening at the Mezzanine in San Francisco. Generation Obama will be hosting it and we have Goapele and the Mayor of SF on the bill as well. Should be an inspirational time. Hope you can make it if you are in the bay. Go here for admission and more information.
For those of you that have made it out to any of the Parties for Change, you will be very familiar with this mix. I’m sure it will be the soundtrack at all the Obama Debate viewing parties and hopefully, the celebration on Nov. 4th. Its def worth your time to listen to the messages and DJ skill of Z-Trip. Informed by EastofLA.com. I need to get better about checking the OBEY and Z-trip sites more often.
This is satire. That was not. You gotta love these two. And with the whole Republican meltdown going on and David letterman putting McCain on blast - right now is the time for Obama supporters to get on thier game. Learn some policy, read some speeches, or be like me and attend a debate viewing party tonight! I’ll be djing at the official one in SF. Thanks to Ryan for the hook-up and Rizoh for staying on his game.

With the Barack hype at one of its highest points after the DNC, URB takes a reflective approach to why this man gotten this generation politically charged. Some obvious points are made but there are some good insights to help you articulate why you are voting for Obama, including a shout out to Shepard. Like my boy Sang said, “If you hear that knocking sound, its our generation’s arrival at America’s door.” Read the rest of this entry »
Barack’s Acceptance Speech is tonight in Denver. Amart and I will be live blogging on it. See what we have to say after the jump..
***UPDATE: Some others have some reactions about the speech as well. I appreciate the difference of opinions - Rosenberg & his dad. MTV w/ Bun B, Murs, Big Boi, Kenna & Ryan Leslie.
Ghostface, Raekwon, and Pharcyde were all in Denver this past weekend for Rock The Bells. MTV was there too to prepare for the Democratic National Convention. So, as the two words collided - hip-hop a& politics, MTV went and asked these artists how they felt about Barack. Some interesting quotes. The homegirl will be giving me a scoop on the DNC since she will be there this week. Full article after the jump.
On a total different note, KTL gives it condolences to Andre Young (Dr. Dre) who lost his son this weekend. As a future father, I can only imagine the pain/grief is it to lose your child. Stay up, homie. Our prayers are with you.
…how the hell should I know? But you can be the “First To Know” via text message by clicking the image above and entering your phone number. My guess is Senator Joe Biden, or the wild card Senator Evan Bayh. My hope was John Edwards but that is obviousally out of the question…ass.
