You wanted some Rap lyrics that Kerry might endorse? Here's one that celebrates "all lifestyles" except drug use:

"Goto goto goto goto
Don't mess with crack or the baking soda
Whether in the high rise where you live like Rhoda
Or in the shack and you live like Yoda
Once again it's on like a brand new morn
Beatsie Beatsie Boys here to keep you all warm
All you spazzes and you freaks
Go and do your thing 'cause you're unique
If it don't hurt nobody else than
Don't be afraid to be yourself and
Special dedication and so on
to all lifestyles, sizes, shapes and forms"

Another similar one from the Beasties:

"Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten
From the Battery to the top of Manhattan
Asian, Middle-Eastern and Latin
Black, White, New York you make it happen

Shout out the South Bronx where my mom hails from
Right next to High Bridge across from Harlem
To the Grand Concourse where my mom and dad met
Before they moved on down to the Upper West
I see you're still strong after all that's gone on
Life long we dedicate this song
Just a little something to show some respect
To the city that blends and mends and tests

Since 911 we're still livin'
And lovin' life we've been given
Ain't nothing gonna take that away from us
Were lookin' pretty and gritty 'cause in the city we trust

Dear New York I know a lot has changed
2 towers down but you're still in the game
Home to many rejecting no one
Accepting peoples of all places, wherever they're from"

And here's some directly addressing George W. Bush:

"You build more bombs as you get more bold
As your mid-life crisis war unfolds
All you wanna do is take control
Now put that Axis of Evil bullshit on hold."

Yes, I can easily see Kerry grooving to the Beasties!

Wyclef Jean of the Fugees has argued against the kinds of abuses US law enforcement makes in "Diallo":

"Have you ever been held
against your will?
Taken to a dark place
where not even scientists can reveal?
So what is for Ceasar
let it be for Ceasar
Cause we don't want no peace
We want equal rights and justice.. for

Diallo, Diallo - similar to Steven Biko
Diallo, Diallo - you tell me that the murder was an error
Diallo, Diallo - but every man will be judged
Diallo, Diallo - according to his words."

Certainly, Kerry's arguments that you'd better listen to and be aware of this kind of sentiment are valid. And incidentally, when Howard Dean was asked what his favorite song was during one of the debates, it was a Wyclef Jean song! So we know Dean listens to rap.

Anyway, Old Guy, the point is that there is plenty of valid and important political and social commentary in rap, and I don't doubt that Kerry knows a heck of a lot more about it than you do.

But as always, you wear your ignorance as a badge of honor.
