Hip-Hop for President
I’d like to thank Lee L. Mercer Jr. for inspiring the content of this post. After learning about Mercer’s presidential bid under the Random Word Association Party platform, it dawned on me that some of my favorite rappers may even have a fair shot at this White House thing. With a bit of optimism and just the right amount of scrilla the possibilities are endless. And I’m not trying to knock LLMJ’s hustle. In fact, I think Mercer and Miss. Teen South Carolina would make a winning combination.
But, Mercer has already lost mad points on originality. One of his campaign objectives–”To prove The Klu Klux Klan and the Communist Party are gangsters and organize crime in Business and Commerce”–has already been established by Ras Kass, Talib Kweli, and others.
So, here’s a question for you: If you could nominate one hip-hop artist for President, who would you pick?
