A lot of people don’t know the U.S. has more than 3 political parties. If you’re a choker, nazi, prohibitionist, pansexual, falangist, whatever, it’s out there. It’s hard to not appreciate the diversity– but DAMN!!

Hey– Re: People outside of the USA (But, more specifically, US citizens)

We can have a voice in the primaries process!

http://www.democratsabroad.org

Sign up here and we can vote; we get 11 electoral votes in the nomination–more than the US territories, but less than the smallest-populated states, Wyoming and the other one, who each get 18 votes. But, hey, fucking vote you guys!

Dexter–Tell people about this! Get the fucking Meiguo Ren abroad to vote!

YES!! took me a minute to be able to listen, cause for some reason i can’t get the rss up on the psp, but fuck it. my two brain cells said just download the shit so i can be hip with the rest of these bastards. like you and Austin (and the rest of America that refuses to tune radio dials) i’m chanting MARTY MC FLY having lame heads look at me like, “the fuck is she on??”…niice.
only reason i can think of people comparin him to Eminem is they both seem to have anger issues that come out in the vocals. but on the real, i just don’t see it. he definately surpasses that commercial level thought process. i’m with it.
J electro is the cure?? fuck insurrance, give these cats some headphones.
as always, man, great ep. keep em coming.

i smell soultronica in the air..stop teasin and serve it up.

Vince. Yeah. That Bekay track is just one of those cuts where you find yourself compelled to listen because you want to hear what he has to say. Hopefully 08 has better things in store for him. And those exact Labratz verses have been stuck in my head too – along with that really startling

we gotta stop and look, make a pause like comma,
Peace to Barack Obama…

from whence I stole the last lines of this post.

Mr U. I can’t even really figure out how to respond to the video. I mean, it’s engaging, but boring, but good. Does that make any sense? Whoever made this video is a pretty well-read/cultured individual because it reaches into a lot of places most videos wouldn’t go. I feel like I should be writing a paper on this video. I should send it to some of my old critical theory / feminist theory professors, they’d probably dig it. Short story though, good find. I’d like to see it in HD. The fact that this is on Warp does not surprise me. I need to find out more about this.

JV – yeah man, shoot me an email..

Iain - "Exit strategy level planning"? So not 2009, 2019 then? haha! Keep me updated as always, though. Mike F - woo, the religious studies joint. I appreciate you coming through to make a presence on the site, fam. On the primaries though: I'm miles away from having the knowledge or desire to even suggest a particular candidate. Plus it's so early in the game it's hard to tell who's still really in the ring. Back in the '92 race, they said Bill Clinton didn't stand a chance at this stage. Talat - I hope we get it at least somewhat right too. "Right" will take some work, though...I definitely need to start doing some reading.

My favorite quotables:

â€œRappers donâ€™t sound right like President Bushâ€

â€œHungry, Broke & Determinedâ€ Thatâ€™s sad cause I never here of dude but heâ€™s got mad talent!

â€œMaybe weâ€™ll overcome & try to heal each other but nikkaz donâ€™t want to hear that type of sh*t they like whateverâ€

Hey Dex, I’ve been listening since the religion episode and finally decided to participate, sort of a new years resolution. Your show has become my number source of new music, and especially the last 30 or so episodes have been mostly bananas.
From my limited research it seems that Edwards is gonna do more for the poor of evert race than Obama but really it looks it’s only Obama or Clinton that can win..
Oh, and as someone from the UK I definitely find myself continually amazed by race in America.

When are these UK/US releases? As soon as dudes pull their fingers out of their asses and get to work!

Seriously though we’re talking “exit strategy” level lack of planning. But US wise there’ll be stuff on DJ K Phi’s mixtape “Clear the Streets Vol 1″, and some stuff with related artists http://www.myspace.com/djkphi

UK wise, my man Riddla is still due to release some album (yawn) but on a plus note one of the tracks will feature Breeze of Roll Deep fame.

Should probably put “in 09″ just to be safe though. Thanks for the thanks Dex, and “Switch on the MPC” is about 100% more interesting than “01 track 1.mp3″. Lesson learned.
