The Hip Hop View

Kim Osorio over at Global Grind recently premiered her own version of the Barbara Walters-helmed ABC talk show The View.

There seems to be range between the four women. You may remember Jenn The Penn from BET’s Ultimate Hustler, that Apprentice-like reality series Damon Dash had a few years back. I’m not sure what she does now, but her name seems to be circulating a lot.

You already know KO’s resume. First Editor In Chief of The Source, stint at BET.com and now Vice President of content at Global Grind. Angela Yee is responsible for 50% of World Star HipHop’s good footage in the last few months. She’s killing it these days. I see her eventually shooting to the top as a radio personality. Last but not least, Tionna Smalls. She’s the lesser known of the bunch, but by far the more outspoken.

The quartet discussed hip-hop couples like Jayonce (Jay and Beyonce) and Chrianna (Chris Brown and Rihanna) in the first episode. See it for yourself below.

Chuck D Lectures Red Bull Music Academy

As Public Enemy’s mighty mouth that roared, Chuck D upped hip hop’s aesthetic ante like no emcee before or since. B.C. (before Chuck) the genius of rap was most often its stylistic sophistication. A.D. (after D) we all recognized the power of hip hop to mobilize the masses and elevate mind-states without losing an iota of its visceral appeal; “food for the brain, beats for the feet,” as Chuck himself once rhymed, the bourgeois and boulevard both rocked with seminar-worthy precision. You’d think P.E.’s legendary recordings, production innovations (the handiwork of Chuck and Hank Shocklee’s beats-by-hardcore-committee, the Bomb Squad), and turbulent career twists and turns would be more than enough to fill his resume. But over the past several years Chuck’s singular voice as a revered political and social commentator, Air America Radio host, author and publisher, and progressive entrepreneur (having been an early proponent of the Web as a means of sharing music) has kept him as, if not more, active than in P.E.’s golden era heyday. Given the present precarious state of the States (and the rest of the world), we need Mistachuck now more than ever. He’s still # 1 (one, one… one, one… one, ONE!).

Hip Hop Republicans Are Just Like You

Or maybe not...

Did you ever think you'd see the day when hip-hop was synonymous with the Republican Party? Well, for one group the two go hand in hand. Claudio Simpkins of the Hip Hop Republican has a simple message, one that he wants to share with BV readers. Just to let you know, his group consists of young black Republicans who want you to know they are just as "down" for black folks as liberals. Their only difference is that they hold conservative views on certain issues.Here's what he told Black Voices about his life a young black conservative:

Rick Ross still tries to prove himself...

"I live by principle…

I’m a 10millionare now…

I done been interviewed for 2 different homicides, not saying I was the shooter…


I’m probably the only artist in the game that can say they was raised or well affiliated with a n—a made America’s Most Wanted. And that aint nothing to glorify, I cry about that every day…I cry for my nigga cuz he’s so real.

I never tried to hide my past, or hide nothing. I put my name on the inside of all my CDs…. my company got my social security number. I coulda put my company name I’m a muthaf—in’ boss, n—a. I never ratted on no n—a, aint never arrest no n—a….I dont worked at muthaf—in’ car washes, man.

Am I 100percent authentic when I talk about cocaine, or I talk about heroin?… I dont need to explain myself to no n—a.

Am I offended? Of course not. I expect that when I’m rich!

Another thing, people dont discuss is my past record. I was 15 when I caught my first charge. 16 when I caught my first drug charge. I’m out on bond right now. I almost missed my Trilla album release party!

So when n—as say my name, a n—a better muthaf—in’ recognize, n—a, I dont have these crosses under my eyes for playin with n—as….

I feel like emotions are for women….


I love all the attention….I hope that makes CNN, I’m that relevant, I’m a big deal!

I’m emotional, man. "
