    Does the NYPD give out bonuses for shooting black people? Bill Thompson wanting to fire Ray Kelly was another fabulous reason to vote against King Mike. #fuckincops

    Before we start breaking out the examples of squeaky clean hip-hop, let's just remember that hip-hop can be about having to strong arm a ho and also still be REALLY GOOD. Art is about many perspectives. #hiphop

    Hip-hop. Over.
    As soon as 'mainstream' theater people get excited about some aspect of popular culture, it's a safe bet that no one else cares about it anymore. #hiphop

    I think I just committed a foul in the rear of my exposed Marc Ecko underwear. I wonder if he'd be eligible for funding since his hip hop culture empire is slipping like the draws of a Bed Stuy teenager walking along Halsey St. #hiphop

    I'd think that the conservative forces would be fine with the guns and the glocks part at least. Probably wouldn't object much to homophobia or misogyny either. #hiphop

    Oh, Rocco, nice way to serve up a wedge issue going into the midterm elections.

    Also, don't at least some hip-hop arts have a viable commercial base in ways that, say, most literary arts do not? #hiphop

    @Smitros: I'm guessing they won't be giving grants to signed recording artists. That would be like giving Stephen King money to write his next book. #hiphop

    @Cicada:

    Yes -- when theater people talk about hip-hop, they mean Danny Hoch and anyone else who ever rhymed his way through a one-man show at a major not-for-profit (in front of white people paying $60 a ticket). #hiphop

    I smell a trend!

    Next time I see any urban youths I'll ask them if they have any "wedge issues." #hiphop

    In reply to Nobody Loves Weepy VP Joe
    Biden was the most inscrutable choice, ever, for VP. Instead of "change" Obama brought out an old hack, who had trouble with both truth telling, even during the campaign, and with inserting his foot into his mouth. Oh, to know what kind of negotiation that was, to get him on the ticket---except, perhaps to allay terrified old white guys who feared a woman and a (half)black man on the ticket would bring on the apocalypse. #joebiden

    It seems a little implausible that they'd get arrested just for rapping, we don't know the rest of the story. Maybe they were harassing the teller, or saying rude & mean things, or making threats... #rap

    @fuzzbuster: Nobody was arrested.

    Apparently the citation was for disorderly conduct and using foul language. They were told several times to speak their order instead of rapping it; when they refused to do so, they were asked to leave the premises. Details here:

    In short, it's just a case of dumb kids doing something dumb and being ticketed for their trouble. #rap
