Ghost spotted In The Hood! BREAKING NEWS!

There has been an increase of Ghost spottings in da Boogie Down Bronx, the Dirty South, Killadephia, Strong Island, St. Louie, and other hoods. According to a poll conducted in 2005 by the Gallup Organization, about 32% of Americans believe in the existence of Ghosts. Americans also believe most of the Ghost spottings in the hood are at the Ballot Box, Black Colleges, and in the Black Family. These Ghost they are talking about are youth apathy and Black Men. Why, because the lack of the more regular occurrence of their association with political or civic, and education. As a result, being Ghost usually attributes to their hood or race becoming a discarnate cultural and political entity. However, there is a glim of hope. Maybe the phenomena of political terms in the hood's language used in flyers and rap graphics online can represent a change of mindset. Watch as alot of BP, and MS banners claim terms such as "Mogal", "Take Over", and "We Run". Are these claims spontaneous or do they imply self-consciousness in our hoods? It seems it is mostly used to express participation in Hip Hop, and not political activities. Socialpsychologist Edwards (1992) defines vernacular as a local culture determined by the connectedness to a certain neighbourhood. While some in Hip Hop are only concerned with the terms, others in Hip Hop are taking actions to put true meaning to those terms. Many Rappers maintain connectedness to their hoods by setting up Foundations. But if you are claiming "Worldwide Take Over" then you need to have connectedness that is a concerted effort designed to achieve some result, typically from government authorities. That is why I formed my Organization Rock Star Politics(MYSPACE.COM/DANADUM......www.blackplanet.co/rockstarpolitics) for the up and coming who are beyond the local causual use of terms. (Please contact me, I will be happy to help you and your local cause. Also, send me all info about things going on in your hood so I can get the word out!) You may be surprised to know that many rappers and athletes are connected with the political inside game. Most top rappers CEO's wage their political bets by donating thousands to potential Presidential candidates on both sides of the isle, just in case! Why, because that is how you really become a "Shot Caller" beyond the Hip Hop term. Rappers are now doing more business deals. They face the same policy impacts and hurdles as other Industries. For example, If JZ's clothing line is hot in the hood and he wants to take it worldwide and the government officials in China are holding him up from reaching a market of a billion consumers, he can pick up the phone and get his political action team to the halls of Congress and get them to change the law or twist some diplomatic arms in China. That is what donations to candidates gets you! Love it or hate it, that is the hustle. it is not illegal, it's called Lobbying. If you don't think it is right, then get your team on the hill to fight back. I don't care what side you are on-D/R, just show your face in the place and don't let the hood be Ghost! Hip Hop at the White House was Ghost until I got my foot in the door. I worked at Capitol Hill and I never saw Black people call or visit the Hill to meet with a Congressman! GHOST! Hillary, Obama, and Rudy understands that all politics are local, it is time for local hoods to go beyond the casual use of terms as "Blowing Up", "Take Over", and "Worldwide" to terms of real meaning and connectedness to politics! Then, it will end the Ghost spotting.

ACT LIKE ADULTS!!! SALT N PEPA VS MISS NY(VH1)

I posted a clip from the new VH1 SALT N PEPA reality show on youtube.com/rockstarpolitics Some people posted comments that I want to share with you which ranged from good to ok. That begs the question, can we only be portrayed as "Hot Ghetto Mess" on TV, Music and Film? I like the Salt N Pepa & Spin Show, not because I have worked with them for over a decade, but because I have greatest respect for them and what they offer as an alternative image and lifestyle Entertainers for Females-the Female's version of Females, not the Fale's version of Females; think about it!!! It is the only way to counter some of the harsh criticism of rap today. The rap game needs salt N Pepa & Spin and others alike to balance and humanize talented rappers who make a living from it. It is important that we do not let Acts in the Industry get "stuck on stupid, be a one note band, sound like a broken record". We need rappers to be honest and show they do change, grow up, and act like adults! Trust me when I tell you most Artist are signed and considered train wrecks in the progress. The media follows just to witness your "Big death", and then pimp your box set like Elvis-you are worth more dead than alive. It is the same reasons they assign 24hr reporters to follow the President-just incase he gets shot! You can rage as a youth, but it is important to show that our situations, incomes, and lifestyles does change. LL, Salt N Pepa & Spin, JZ, Master P, and even Luke are perfect examples. We hurt ourselves when we don't show where we've been, and how far we've come. What do you think. post comments.
