Hip-hop politics
A Fly Moses at Big Man Moves has a comparison of all the presidential candidates to their rapper counterparts.
I like most of them, but disagree strongly with the Giuliani/Nas one, especially that they're both one-hit wonders.
First, Rudy has much more going for him than 9/11. The more he talks about what he did for NY before we were attacked, the better it will be for his chances. He saved a crippled and dying city. Nas really only has one great album. He's been resting on his laurels ever since. A Fly Moses writes that Rudy and Nas are both good during a "beef". I disagree. Nas's dis song at Jay-Z, "Ether", was way overrated while Jay-Z's "Takeover" had his foot firmly on Nas's neck. Also, Nas is now signed to Jay-Z's label. Rudy would never cower and bow like that. Ask Nas, he don't want it with 'Hov.
I also take exception to my boyfriend 50 Cent being called "an afterthought" though the rest of his comparison to John McCain is pretty good.

That would really give him street cred
