CHRIS FOCUS - NIGHT CAP (1 of 2)

So as we all know, it's the big day, ELECTION DAY. A chance for history, a chance for change, redemption, etc. A lot of the youth, hip hop, underserved and underprivileged are looking to a specific man to mark the beginning of something new, deserved and better in our country. But with all positives there are negatives...and as most people that would love to see this change and hope for it, and go out and attempt to do something about it...there are still others who live to never see that day. So it makes you wonder, what could possibly go wrong. Well our resident artist Chris Focus has taken that step and expressed it through his talent: music. Part one of this series is pretty much a take on the evil of the world and it's evil will toward someone who could initiate welcome changes. Listen carefully...and as more debauchery happens on election day and with the skin head plot that was discovered weeks ago...it's something that we have all thought about or are thinking of as we vote today. But don't take it as discouragement...take it as motivation to vote for a better future and show the world to be open to CHANGE. I'll let Chris Focus take it from here....

VOTING POLLS' PROBLEMS...

So I've already started getting text messages about voting mishaps today...a road in North Carolina that many African Americans use to get to the voting station is closed off, in Florida the machines are all of a sudden eating up ballots and in Ohio there are ballots missing the Presidential category. Now as big as we are on technology...we couldn't catch these problems or get around them. Many people are being told that now their votes won't count...WTF?!?!?!?!! And this just in from my youngest brother: 2 polling stations in South (Central) L.A. had a power outage and voters had to be moved. They better keep the polls open longer to accomodate this foolery ('cuz that's what this is). Go here for the story about the power outage.

TODAY...

Today is the day, ELECTION DAY...see the pic above, it is part of the big wave of the hip hop generation involving itself in something we have been known to ignore for a long time: GOVERNMENT.  Plenty of celebs, hip hop and not, have been pushing for people to register to vote and then vote.  Stakes are high (no De La) and you already know about today even if you weren't trying to pay attention to politics.  So if you're registered (which you should be) then get your ass to the polls and do your American duty.  Don't let all the motivation, hard work and even hype become just that: HYPE.  Make a difference, CHANGE the world.  And if you don't get your person...and you didn't vote, then STFU and bury yourself alive.  That is all.

Last Chance Nov. 4th

Now the message is important, and JT is in it so that validates an Eazee Street post in my book.  But what got my attention is the young lady in the still shot...I KNOW HER.  So I figured that was a good reason to peep this out.  SO should you.
