slambush.net - Hip Hop battle to oust Bush

Posted by ryan at 11:28 AM in music , politics . | 3 Comments

Slam Bush is looking for a national champion; someone whose voice could represent Hip Hop in a face-to-face debate against the President, either in the streets or behind the podium.
Hip Hop can help send George Bush back to Texas where he belongs.

Starting in August, local Slam Bush battles will be held around the country. At these events, ground breaking slam poets and battle MCs will bang on Bush for local championships and cash prizes.

Winners from across the country will be selected to attend the National Slam Bush Championship in late September to perform in front of some of Hip Hop�s most respected names. The Slam Bush Champ will be awarded a Grand Prize of $5000.

I am so happy to see such productive political discourse being promoted by the hip-hop community! Makes me proud to be an Aemrican, yo.

Yeah, I do agree with that...but I think the importance of researching information thoroughly before voting should be emphasized. You know that's not what's going on here...it's just "Bush sucks, let's rap about it." I am not a big fan the "vote no matter what, even if you're a dumb-ass" movement. But I guess short of administering a civics test at the voting booth, we'll never stop idiots from voting.
