What Up, World?

I know we have been lagging on the posts lately but buhlee me there is stuff simmering on the RBC stoves. Today the Cool Kids article I was telling you about dropped in the new URB. Read it here.

We'll take a W, not an L. Thanks.

It's No Baby Phat.

Somewhere on the new album I think she raps about a deal modeling for Rocawear falling through. Guess shit worked out in the long run though.

Werd.

Prodigy is set to release H.N.I.C. Part 2 in 1,400 languages using Voxonic voice conversion technology.

Said Prodigy: "I'll be the first hip hop artist to release a record that's converted into foreign languages using the Voxonic voice conversion technology. The technology they use is a great opportunity for me to keep supplying my fans around the world with music to hold them down while I'm away."

Said his publicist: "Unfortunately this release comes at a peculiar time, as Prodigy is preparing for a three year prison stint in connection with a recent charge for which he was arrested. He begins his term on Jan. 9th which gives us very little time to arrange interviews. We apologize in advance for the small window of time."

R.I.P Gene Lee!

The Chicagoist reported that Gene Lee died last week. His fam posted a blog on his myspace page about how he'd been struggling emotionally since dropping out of med school some time ago. We assume anyone who dances around Wicker Park and Co. in speedos whenever weather permits is working some stuff out in his head.

The first time I peeped his steez was two years ago at Pitchfork Fest when he was rioting in his hotpants just outside the backstage area. Some of the artists invited him onstage to do his thing. Then he continued lurking around the hipster hood in his panties and it got a little weird, like "Oh, there's that dancing underwear guy," which I guess just adds texture in a city with other local celebrities like the Pigeon Man (*pouring some out for him too*).

Now I know...

ya'll will really be paying attention to my cover story on these boys when it drops next month : )

Oh, how we take our liberal arts degrees for granted.

I thought this was nicely done.

Back on the wagon.

Didn't I tell you?

Tooooo CUTE!

RBC luuuvvvsss the kids.

Just when you were at a loss for words...

One comes along that says it all. Can we steal this from the Britts for the New Era capped, gold chained, all-over-printed doosh bag?

The polls are in!

Don't forget to scroll to the end for the mixtape.

RACE WARS - When White America Strikes Back!!!!!!!!!

An interesting video I thought. Hillary is coming to the realization that while diamonds are forever, political dynasties aren't. Hillary at this point is shaking in her boots. Latest polls show Barack ahead with 33 percent to Hillary's 29 percent.

So now that she is behind and realizes the democratic nomination isn’t her birthright, her campaign strategy has shifted to trying to talk trash on Obama. But unlike normal trash talking they have taken it to a level of racial, ethnic, and even religious stereotyping and baiting that i havent seen since .. well wait, i have never seen a viable black man run for president so i guess i have nothing to compare this lastest conflict in Race Wars to. Moving on. The notables, being Barack doing cocaine as a shorty (which Barack has admitted to, and written about in his autobiography) and being accused of possibly being a drug dealer because he admitted to getting high when he was young. Bill Shaheen, the man who put out the question of if Barack was a drug dealer, and also New Hampshire co-chair of Hillary's campaign, resigned after he started getting flack for the comment. But then Hillary decided to contradict her own campaign and said Bill Sheenan was asked to step down. Whether he resigned or was forced to leave its not a good sign when your New Hampshire co chair steps down. But check out the first minute of the video it pretty much breaks down the gist of what im talking about.



But the bigger question is why Bill Clinton didn’t ever get accused of being a drug dealer because of his admitted drug use.

And though the Clinton Camp has gotten rid of Bill Sheenan, they seem to have done this so that they could keep referencing Barack cocaine use as exhibited by this video of Mark Penn, Campaign Consultant for Hillary's Campaign.


Then comes along Bob Kerry (Clinton Supporter) as if he was on the payroll of Fox News, referring to Barack as Barack Hussein Obama, insinuating that Barack is running from who he is and his "Muslim" roots because he won’t refer to himself as Barack Hussein Obama. Oh like Hillary "that’s right no one knows her middle name cuz no one cares" Clinton, or John "since when we did we start caring about politicians middle names" Edwards are held to the same standard. No of course not, so why is Barack being held to that standard. That’s right it’s called the R-word. Let’s stay it all together RACISM!!!!!!! Naw but on the real it obvious in this video that Bob Kerry is doing the trick of acting like you are giving a compliment to a opponent when in fact you are attacking him on things voters would perceive as going to far.



So being called a coke head, drug dealer and being lectured on how and why you should use your middle name - Hmmmm, just a day in the life of being young, black, gifted and running for president.
