Another Beat For Obama

So, I have sort of realized that my passion for music and politics have totally converged with Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. Thanks to my friends at RH2028, we have yet another one for the record (pun intended) by Taz Arnold (AKA TI$A), the front man to underground hip-hop group SA-RA Creative Partners.

Just repeat after me: “This is for real and not for play, Imma vote Obama way. We good, we voting, [and] we throwing it up.”

The music video titled “Vote Obama” features cameos from Kanye West, Jay Z, Chris Brown, Travis Barker, Shepard Fairey, and Apple of The Black Eyed Peas. Sit back, enjoy and please don’t be like the Obama Girl - go out, register to vote and actually cast a ballot.

Barack Brushes The Dirt Off

Yet another musical tribute to my man, Obama. This one isn’t PG-13 like the others, but it’s a pretty hilarious remix of Jay-Z’s “Dirt Off Your Shoulder” and offers a good laugh. The second half of the video is a bit of a slam on Hillary Clinton with the remixed “99 Problems” - but all is fair in music and politics?

Overall, I think the video demonstrates the great sense of humor that Obama and his fans have. It does not, however, demonstrate a great sense of Obama’s dance moves. Don’t quit your day job, Barack.
