haha, I think it might get some votes. But could scare away the ones that actually like rap.

And me, I dislike rap so much in general that it kinda turns me off to the issue..

I hate stuff like this. I am not going to vote a certain way because a group told me to. I will vote how I want to. To think that advertising such as this actually sways votes is just absurd.

I kinda agree with you.. I also wonder how effective a rap music video is in targeting those that should be targetted .. or is it missing the intended audience completely?

it reminds me of the 1985 chicago bears song "super bowl shuffle" not very good...and more of a joke than anything-lol

Nice song, but I'm still voting NO on 89 and on everything else except 90 and 1A.

 

[dgridley]

Ok, I'll bite.. why "no" on something named the Clean Money and Fair Elections Act (prop 89)? Just out of curiosity.. what is your reasoning?

This proposition would raise taxes on my company to pay for political ads for politicians that I don't support. I'll pass on that, thank you. :td:

Sorry to be a bit dim, but, what is prop 89? I would google it but i would be here reading for several years.

Anyone care to give a UKer a clue?

Tom :p

It's just a ballot measure in California to reform political campaign spending by giving politicians tax money and limiting private donations.

Californians have quite a bit to vote on this year. The voter information packet is huge.

For or against.. don't forget to vote today!

Not so good. Not a big fan of Rap but I could say that aint really good enough.

 

[dgridley]

Personally, I find 99.9% of all rap offensive to my ears.. this example is no exception.

Actually this song would be considered Hip Hop and I myself applaud any person/people who stand up for what they believe regardless if it is rap, country or polka. Although I do not live in California I do think this prop 89 is a good start at trying to pull the politicians from the private sector as we all know this hand in pocket thing is way out of hand when the politicians are more concerned at what their cash cow wants then the people who vote them in.
