Meet the republican Rapper
From Max Blumenthal at The Daily Beast (who has a book coming out in Spring- can't wait.)
http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-02-28/meet-the-republican-rapper#
'The Conservative Political Action Conference always produces a breakout star. This year’s winner: a hip-hop artist whose artistic inspirations include Nancy Pelosi.
I met the world's first self-proclaimed "Republican rapper" on the second day of the 2009 Conservative Political Action Conference. He is Hi-Caliber, a former construction worker from New Jersey who told me that after just 10 minutes of listening to right-wing radio shock jock Michael Savage ranting about "Islamofascism" and illegal immigration, his "whole views on the world changed." Now Hi-Caliber records inspired battle anthems against President Barack Obama, who he denounces as a "socialist in the White House;" he attacks Nancy Pelosi as "phony baloney;" assails the liberal media; calls for a border fence; and warns darkly of the Fairness Doctrine.'

Inspired by Savage. Ha!
Watch the video if you can stomach it.

1. This shit would have brought Biggie and Tupac together back in the day.
So is this like Punkd or something?

3. Think I could sell this to him?
The "Right" Touch

To the tune of The Bad Touch by The Bloodhound Gang

Ha-ha! Well now, we call this the act of obstruction
But there are several other very important differences
Between conservatives and liberals that you should know about.

We'd appreciate your money

Debt, baby, debt, baby
Obama's a leftist thief.
He wants taxpayers to foot the bill
For his commie spending spree.
But we'll get our hands on the budget,
And with some tax cuts,
You'll have a job, affordable mortgage,
Let's shove the stimulus!
We've had enough of tax-and-spend
We need Reagan and trickle-down.
All the liberals can give us
Is the Dow below eight thou.
Need more troops in Iraq
Or Bin Laden will attack!
We need to invade some sovereign nations
And give those Dems enhanced interrogation.

Do it now.
Pelosi fucked it up,
Recovery ain't likely.
Wait for twenty-ten.
Let's all watch O'Reilly.
Do it again now.
Pelosi fucked it up,
Recovery ain't likely.
Wait for twenty-ten,
Let's all watch O'Reilly.
Votin' Palin now!

6. Sell it to him?
He probably doesn't have a pot to piss in, but he hates liberals and taxes. Another mental giant for the fakers to rally around. He's probably a Michael Steele fabrication to help 'hip hop' up the gop.

8. I hope this goes on as long as possible
I am greatly amused by the GOP "hip-hop makeover" concept. It's utterly ridiculous and makes them look even more pathetic than they already are.

4. Makes me appreciate Eminem much more.
Only white rapper besides the Beastie Boys to not be completely fucking horrible.

7. The comments are pretty damning
This one's especially funny:
xbainx
Now if we can just get the 13 year old conservative (Robin, boy wonder) Joe the Plumber (Martian Manhunter) and of course Sarah Palin (Wonder Woman) together we'll have sort of a retarded Justice League. Steele and Jindal can be the wonder twins. Or Shaggy and Scooby. But basically it's a bad cartoon.

10. I'm guessing he's a former construction worker because of the recession caused by his heroes.
However, the public works projects Obama is putting together will employ him again. Then, thanks to Obama, he won't have to "rap" any longer.
