Barack Obama: Support From Hip-Hop Should Just Be That… Support!!!

People need to stop looking at Hip-Hop supporters for Barack as negative support. Hip-Hop needs to exercise their vote as anyone else. Barack will understand America as a whole better than Mc Cain will. This country is in an emotional state and troubled finances fuel the emotion. We have the economy residing in the “out house” and a candidate that can possibly put us on the road to prosperity. Barack can do that with or without Hip-Hop, so Hip-Hop support is just that, a community that wants to support what they feel that will support them best!!!

What people also need to think is who can clean up Bush’s mess up best.

With Bush’s tactics of taping our phone lines to making up lies about mass destruction weapons… oil and money have to be driving this war some how. A great song to listen to about Bush’s gangsterism is “I’m So Gangsta” By E.Re-ill feat. Fresh Caesar . Wake up people lets not believe that votes from a certain community should be negative but a support of an unrepresented community.

Hip-Hop: Product Of Our Own Environment

Here we are in the oscillating success of Hip-Hop. Many believe Hip-Hop

is dead, the economy… well ya’ll know how bad it is, many of us are

barely making it to work due to gas prices, losing our homes to

foreclosure, and the list goes on. Well, Hip-Hop elite are not all living like 50, Jay-Z, or P.Diddy some Hip-Hop elite are feeling these financial woes too. Scott Storch, Suge Knight, and I am sure more are facing foreclosure nevertheless, what is the real problem? Is it really the economy, Bush, or is it bad money management?

Well it may be a little bit of all or others but something we have immediate control is our money management. Hip-Hop as a culture that has limited means and when blessed with financial success our role models are usually street hustlers. So when we reach such financial success at a young age, freshly educated by purchasing a new Benz or that 645 drop is how you let everyone know your stomach isn’t grumbling no more, we spend our cash before we even counted it!!! I am not saying this is the case for everyone but this case is in a little bit of everyone. The Hip-Hop community needs to get more educated about our investments!!! We need to adopt better mindsets, principles, and most important education! Usually if you made a million a year you should not be buying a 10 million dollar house (even though if the bank approved me I just might sign LOL). Really you should be looking MUCH lower (100K-250K max). However, nobody knows you better than you do, you know what you can handle, and you know what’s in the future for yourself. Just remember have a “millionaire mind” spending but a “Hip-Hop mind” when recording.

Overall, we do not need to follow the Jones’s or feel “New is best” be sound, educate yourself and think long term, and ohhh… pay your bills!!!

Hip-Hop Is NOT Dead But Ready To “Get It”!!!

(Calif) Hip-hop producer and west coast native E. Re-ill debuts his album “Get It”. “Get It” is the representation of E. Re-ill’s mindset, “I’m in a place in my life where I need to become who I am… I got to “Get It”!!! says E. Re-ill.

“Get It” is an album that when focused on can bring out the drive in you to make your dreams real. Why you may ask? You need three things to achieve your goals Hope (expectations), Hustle (drive) and Hunger (appetite for success). These three mindsets are displayed in this album which accompanied by your dreams this will enable your inner being to ““Get It”!”

E. Re-ill has been producing beats since the late 80’s, influenced by Dr. Dre (and who isn’t), Rick Rubin, performed with many stars, and has participated in great projects. A prior and classic venture was with the street-ball company Y.P.A. and the DVD titled “The War”. E. Re-ills’ most rememberable time in making music is when N.W.A. was filming the classic controversial video “Straight Outta Compton” E. Re-ill’s older brother caught the attention of Ice Cube and filmed Ice Cube telling E. Re-ill to keep up and he’ll see him on top!!! That statement would drive E.Re-ill for many years.

Hip-Hop has always been the “in touch with your inner voice” music and then we have always informed our community of how we see the actions displayed in front of us. Hip-Hop can be fun, dark, and everything in between. However, usually no matter the topic a hip-hop song it should captivate you!!! “Get It” is no exception to this, “Get It” displays emotional drive, creative sound packages, consistent vibe and sounds, and arguably some of the best lyrics delivered on hip-hop tracks in a long while. Songs like “Dark People” a description of pushing your self to great heights even when life shorts you of opportunities. “I’m So Gangsta” is a nice surprise!!! It is Fresh Caesar’s look at the world biggest gangsta George Bush, and his fumbles with war and Katrina!!! Don’t cheat yourself I’m so Gangsta is a necessary download!!!

Oakland native and a brilliant lyricist Fresh Caesar (a.k.a. Omega) is currently working on his own album titled “Jack London’s Square”. Fresh Caesar displays lyrical strengths of Nas and Jay-Z with a west coast flavor delivery. Fresh Caesar displays great lyrical ability and is definitely not your average rapper on the mic.

Down South/Oakland rapper, Tom-E-Gunn has the sounds of Snoop Dogg’s early gangsta swag with grit of the south. These songs are actually lost demos recently found. E. Re-ill felt compelled to use the demos for the world to hear due to their strong delivery of life experiences.

E. Re-ill’s “Get It” album is about all the aspirations that we desire in life money, success, respect, reflections of life, and excess of women and parties. This is the start of great things to come from this talented producer.
