‘The new world order just put on a black face’ claims controversial hip hop pioneer KRS-One.With the largest majority within the hip hop culture for the first time singing praises of newly elected president Barack Obama, the often outspoken award winning emcee has responded critically from the outset.
‘Just because we have an African American president doesn’t mean that he’s not going to continue the Bush agenda. I’m not dissing anybody, but a politician is a politician.”
Without industry backing his message may get lost in the frenzy, while the likes of P Diddy and Jay-Z continue serenading him in the spotlight.
Obama recently said in a tv interview that hip hop is 'insightful' for children today and believes it can be used as a way to encourage kids to achieve greater things.
While P Diddy etc continue telling us to believe in Obama, and Obama telling us to listen to the positive messages in hip hop, KRS breaks the cycle and quite simply states the clear truth.
The focus is back on Obama, KRS-One will continue rapping and earning his way, it's up to Barack Obama to now earn his.
(Oh and if any Hilary fans feel left out...)
