RATM playing across from the RNC… what could go wrong?

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

The rebel rock group Rage against the Machine are playing on September 3rd (the same time as the Republican National Convention) in St. Paul, Minnesota at the Target Center. If their last co-liner with a political convention is any sign of things to come, this ought to be a intense night. From the VH1 article:

De la Rocha recently called for President Bush to be “tried for being a war criminal,” and during the band’s Lolla set, he raged against the last eight years of Republican rule and even had a word of warning for “Brother Obama,” referring to presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama.

“Now, we know Brother Obama. … But I tell you what, if he comes to power come November and he doesn’t start pulling troops out of Afghanistan, I know a lot of people who are gonna stand up and burn down every office of every Senate.”

Here is the full article.

Nas goes off on Fox News

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Hip hop badass Nas has a new track called Sly Fox. Nas has been quoted recently (responding to Jesse Jackson) in an interview with MTV:

“I think Jesse Jackson’s the biggest player hater. His time is up. All you old niggas’ time is up. We heard your voice, we saw your marching, we heard your sermons. We don’t want to hear that shit no more. It’s a new day. It’s a new voice. I’m here now. We don’t need Jesse; I’m here. I got this. We got Barack. We got David Banners and Young Jeezys. We the voice now. It’s no more Jesse. Sorry. Good bye. You ain’t helping nobody in the hood and that’s the bottom line. Goodbye, Jesse. Bye!”

I almost like it as much as the new KRS remix of criminal minded.
