Kerry's down with the hip hop
"I'm fascinated by Rap and Hip-Hop" said Democratic presidential candidate, John Kerry during an MTV Choose or Loose forum. Offering up a heavy dose of street credibility, Kerry defended gangsta rap, freedom of speech and the realities of street life.
The Boston-born heir by marriage to the Heinz Ketchup fortune, offered his perspective on rap music as the voice of the streets.
"I'm fascinated by rap and by hip-hop. I think there's a lot of poetry in it. There's a lot of anger, a lot of social energy in it. And I think you'd better listen to it pretty carefully, 'cause it's important."
Middle aged white candidates should just not go there. Ever.

So true. He could have said
So true. He could have said this any time since 1987 and it would have been just as true and just as empty.
Who the hell does he think he is? The "anger/social energy" thing was a hot topic back when Ice Cube and NWA were doing their thing, but today it's all about the bling.
Wait-- I get it-- John Kerry is into hip hop, because like them he enjoys Courvoisier, Cadillac SUVs, and an endless supply of bitchez.
J,
J,
You're dead-nuts on.
I ownder if he thought NWA was important, and worth careful listening? The bits about dustin' off cops, say, or the silly games with bitches?
Maybe Kerry's only happy when he's goin' up in 'em?
