&quot;Each generation out of relative obscurity, must discover its mission, fulfill it, or betray it.&quot; Frantz Fanon


It has
been 45 days since the Hip Hop generation helped usher in the first Black male President of the United States of America. Since that historic night, many

			<description><![CDATA[ Green Party, huh. I heard of you but never paid any attention.  It&#39;s like minor league ball in a major league city.  You really got have a special
interest.  Pun intended.   
<br>
<br>
I did some research however.  I agree with your 10 key points.  I think you will have the rare oppurtunity to grow in one year in what would have taken ten
years if you maximize events.  Welcome to 2009.  A year like no other.

			<description><![CDATA[ Thanks (as always) for another great read. I remember that Fanon quote from college, it really grabbed me then.
<br>
<br>
Anyone who focuses on activism or spirituality or any of the issues listed at the end of the article, whether they identify with hiphop or not, doesn&#39;t get
to the white house. It seems to me he is somebody who will not systematically go out of his way to sabotage other people&#39;s lives and efforts, which will
shift things  for the better. Best of luck to him.

			<description><![CDATA[ Hip Hop can&#39;t even define what is Hip Hop and what it isn&#39;t. We lost that fight a long time ago. For decades people have been saying this or that is
Hip Hop when the Hip Hoppers say no it&#39;s not. So this is just another incident in people ascribing hiphopness to something that might not be hip hop. But
it is worth noting that people like Jay Z, Common and Russell actually have some weight when it comes to saying what&#39;s hip hop and what&#39;s not. It&#39;s
not like George... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ technically, Rosa&#39;s right -- Obama isn&#39;t a &quot;hip hop&quot; president; he never wrote graffiti, went crate-digging, or b-boyed. however, i don&#39;t
think there&#39;s any question that obama is <span style="font-weight: bold;">the first member of the hip-hop generation to be elected president</span>, which
is a much more accurate statement. to put it another way, obama is about the same age as many of the old-school rappers, and comes from a multicultural
background. i dont think... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Go ahead sista Rosa! I have been trying to figure out myself why he is being label the first Hip Hop President. We just witness one of the greatest marketing
machines in the history of America. The President Elect Obama has some how convince a lot of Hip Hop figures that he&#39;s down for Hip Hop. Are there any
critical thinking caps on in the Hip Hop arena? Are you that desperate? As the late great author and entrepreneur Amos Wilson once said &quot;Things Change But
Remain The Same.&quot; I... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Obama is not the hip-hop president. Being 47 and from Hawaii he missed hip-hop as being an influence on his cognitive processing.  He&#39;s even said it.  If
he was from New York or L.A there could be a chance.  You have true hip-hoppers in their fifties from these places.  In Hawaii I&#39;m not sure exactly you
just can&#39;t but a finger on it, but hip-hop culture probably didn&#39;t become culturally influential to those interested until the Run-DMC era.  Their
career was the like the... ]]></description>
