SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE......

This was from my good "friends" at Allhiphop.com, taken from Thisis50.com. Apparently, this happened over the weekend, Young Jeezy was performing at some club in Dallas, TX. He goes into "My President" off of his new album "The Recession" (out in stores now, cop it!) but anyways, getting back into the topic. Apparently, two minutes into the song, n***** go wild and a huge brawl starts on the middle of the dance floor.

Now, much like illseed, I am just stunned at this ignorant shit. To why this kind of shit happens during a song "saluting" our new President is beyond me.

One poster on Allhiphop.com stated:

"I will say this again..African Americans are using Obama's name for all the wrong things..And thats why Barack Obama didnt want any rappers promoting his name..

Overall in my opinion Rappers are the worst people to use for promotion..Soon Advertisers are going to see that Rappers are not good for promoting any product.."

Well, I wouldn't go that far...but with this issue, why not? Don't believe me, listen to Ludacris' "Politics As Usual" off The Preview mixtape.

But yes, ironically me and my cousin Randal discussed this today on the long, cold bus ride home. How, many of us black people are expressing our "support" for President Obama, and using it for OUR personal gain.

even with the mixtape circuit...over the last several months, there have been a SWARM of mixtapes surrounding the "Obama" theme.

Some for the good....



Some for the WORST....



But seriously.....STOP ALREADY!!!

It's one thing that we promote "change", but when I see shit such as the video displayed, it makes me realize...."NIGGAS" STILL EXIST...

Wanna know how I know....follow the link...




This past Saturday night, there was a shooting that occured at a local tavern a couple blocks from my where I live. What's screwed up is that I was either outside when it happened, walking home from work, or I showed up on the block after it occured...and NEVER EVEN KNEW...up until I was told about this Sunday night by my mother...that is some scary shit to think about. In not trying to make it about me, but knowing that it COULD'VE BEEN ME as well..and I have already come across death on two occasions this year. But I feel for the family and friends of the victim and my condolences are sent to them and I pray they seek clarity in such a tragedy.

But all I know is....it's a cold world out there...and while we hope and pray for the best....

Illseed said it best....some things NEVER change.
