Michelle Obama releasing rap album (but she doesn't sing)
Michelle Obama is teaming up with some big names in hip hop to help release a Let�s Move! inspired album next month.
Entitled �Songs for a Healthier America,� the record features video cameos (but no singing) of the first lady along with big names like Jordin Sparks, Ashanti, Run DMC, Doug E. Fresh and Monifah.
The 19-track album with song titles like �U R What You Eat� and �Veggie Luv� is being released by the Partnership for a Healthier America, an independent group found in conjunction with Let�s Move.
Ten music videos released with the album are set to be distributed to schools in New York City before being circulated to other major cities.
Needless to say, there are over 1,200 comments pretty much in line with these excerpts:
With each passing day we are looking more and more like the Old Soviets with all the government sponsored PROPAGANDA being pushed on the people ...... especially the Government ... umm Gub ment Educated Children.
And don't forget one of Obungo's all time favorites; "My Reggie Love" (sung to the tune of "My Baby Love")
A great exchange was these two - post and reply:
"My program for educating youth is hard. Weakness must be hammered away. In my castles of the Teutonic Order a youth will grow up before which the world will tremble. I want a brutal, domineering, fearless, cruel youth. Youth must be all that. It must bear pain. There must be nothing weak and gentle about it. The free, splendid beast of prey must once again flash from its eyes...
That is how I will eradicate thousands of years of human domestication...
That is how I will create the New Order."
-�Adolf Hitler, 1933.
Well that's the exact opposite of what Obama has to offer. He prefers a nation of effeminate, uneducated sheep, too timid to smack a mosquito (because mosquitoes are people too)
Two more:
And exactly when did the approval of half-educated children become the benchmark for defining art? Rap is a popculture phenomenon, like troll dolls, poprocks, tattoos, and hula hoops. Yes, it is a popular form of lowbrow self-expression. A family friend who plays cello (and happens to be African-American) has often complained that he finds it full of offensive stereotypes. He says it embarrasses him, and laments that rap gets more attention than serious black musicians such as Thomas Wilkins. Opposition to rap does not indicate hatred of blacks, but rather appreciation for better culture.
Notice how every new program coming out these days is labeled as being put forth by and "independent group" or a "nonpartisan group" whenever it has something to do with government control of what you do?
For her next album, she might want to cover some of these
epic hip-hop ballads...
