Great, I'll decide who I vote for by listening to rappers, who proudly speaks about getting locked up and shot at. I'll enjoy their music, but that's where the buck stops. Interesting all these people preach about how bad capitalism and American democracy is, yet they work the very machinery to sell albums. I wonder if DP or Russell Simmions ever stayed for longer than a week in Africa, but a real African country, not on some rich ass South African or Kenyan city.

not everwhere in South africa is rich. there's many slums there. ditto for kenya. you're criticism is 2 simplistic. dp comes with the fire and iron work that the establishment uses. with simmons, i ain't gonna speak on him cause yes, his actions are kinda suspect at times...

Not where they be staying at courtesy of Sony Music. They only dream through their videos of living on a beach in Africa's gold coast, yet they seem to smell the curreency of future albumks brings to line DP's pockets. Hypocrites at it's finest. They should take their social-ism elsewhere.

By the way, I've given more to the cause of the poor throughout the world than most of these so-called "activists", by simply being an American taxpayer. I have yet to see any of these people ever sing one single praise of the country they were born in and live in. Yet continue to criticize it ever chance they get. And no, I'm not talking about the ciriticism of the federal government.
