The Faux Black Blues

With just a year left in the political “Silly Season” that will bring us El Presidente nombre 45, the crazy jumped out with a vengeance as Republicans fought each other over the interrogation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over the attacks in Benghazi and who will face the former First Lady in the 2016 Presidential Election. Dr. Ben Carson and Donald Trump duked it out for pole position and Rupert Murdoch told us Dr. Ben is evidently the new Black. Boy, some people will say about anything. With such mayhem, only the jazziest of all Hip Hop could help. A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, Erykah Badu, Diamond D, Showbiz & A.G.; De La Soul and Buckshot LeFonque provided the backbeat for a two man show with only the Angry Engineer and Masta Talka – AGAIN. So put on your unitard and do the Slut Walk – Kanye’s running in 20219980. It’s Boom Bap Radio.
