I made reference to a Daily News article earlier this evening during our music show. The article in question reported that our presidential hopefuls are in cohoots with the enemy. Let's see what will happen if the same folks that were instrumental in Imus' departure will raise the same heat against the corporate entities that subsidize minstrel music. Will the candidates scatter like roaches? Time will tell. Check out an excerpt from the article and then click on the link below to view the piece in its entirety:
When Clinton visits Rutgers University tomorrow to show solidarity with the athletes slimed by fired shock jock Don Imus, she is likely to face questions about her soiree two weeks ago at the lavish Miami home of hip-hop mogul Timbaland.
Born Timothy Mosley, Timbaland is a composer and producer who made his millions with a revolutionary new sound - and by peppering his lyrics with terms like "bitch," "ho" and "n----." His latest, "Give it to Me" is Billboard's No. 1 this week.
The fund-raiser brought in about $800,000 for Clinton's campaign on the crucial last day of the first fund-raising period.
Obama made headlines in November when he invited controversial rapper Ludacris (real name Chris Bridges) to his Chicago office to discuss the singer's new AIDS awareness campaign.
