Conservative Rappers?

Coming at the heels of the recent announcement by marketing firm Maven Strategies to pay popular rap artist to spit lyrics about the virtues of McDonalds, in particular the Big Mac sandwich, other marketing firms have taken note. It has become glaringly obvious to Fortune 500 companies and Madison Avenue advertising agencies that the best way to sell a product is to employ the rhyming services of Hip Hop artists.

. . .

Enter the Tokeback Institute out of Resslin, Virginia. This is anultra conservative marketing firm that
specializes in mainstreaming right wing values that are being championed by the current Bush administration. They pride themselves on being the marketing gurus behind getting Americans to buy into the policies supporting the War in Iraq as well as the new love and desire for 'High Morals'.

The secretive conservative institute now has set its sights on Hip Hop. They not only want to, but fully intend to follow in the footsteps of McDonalds and Seagrams Gin and will began paying popular rap artists as much as a million dollars plus bonuses to rap about conservative policies. It's called political product placement.

could be neo-con rappers...

canals to the brim with BONDO than listen to manufactured "conservative" hip-hop.

Kid rock is WAY bad enough.

I cant wait.

Rap is crap and while it may have a place in society.. it certainly is not music....nuff said.

edit: clarification of my disdain for the art form.

The rappers who don't get mainstream play are actually quite good and have meaningful lyrics.

According to the Oxford American Dictionary, music is defined thusly:

"The art or science of combining vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) to produce beauty of form, harmony and expression of emotion."

Perhaps you don't think rap is beautiful, but it certainly falls under most (if not all) generally accepted definitions for "music". Take it from a music teacher. :)

From the Tokeback Posse, here's MC Mule and his band, the 40 Acres...

(Do we dare write the lyrics?)

Young MC Klanman doin it at the ATL. Holla back yall

Maybe they'll get him.

Just search for the "Tokeback Institute", for instance. No such thing.

It exists, it just doesn't show up in google either. :D
