On Tuesday night, Mitt Romney won both the Arizona and Michigan primaries. Romney won Arizona by a large margin, but Michigan, for part of Tuesday night, was too close to call with Rick Santorum competing for the top spot.
Romney is still considered to be the lead candidate in the race for the 2012 Republican nomination, but his lead is a very small one. Santorum, who finished second in Arizona as well, is Romney’s main challenge for the GOP nomination and has essentially made this a two-person race (though Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich are still running).
@TheLeague99 is bringing YoungVoterLive back tonight at 7 p.m. Eastern for a discussion on hip-hop and feminism.
We’re going LIVE from West Virginia University with two of the most fascinating thinkers on the intersection of gender and hip-hop music.
Bakari Kitwana and Joan Morgan will be debating the last decade of hip-hop political activism as it relates to both electoral politics and the phrase “hip-hop feminism,” which Morgan coined in 1999.
Tune in to YoungVoterLive.com & tweet your questions @TheLeague99 using the hashtag #RapSessions.
Have we progressed since the 1999 publication of Joan Morgan’s When Chickenheads Come Home to Roost: My Life as a Hip-Hop Feminist and the 2002 publication of Bakari Kitwana’s The Hip-Hop Generation?
Stay tuned to weigh in tonight!
First, I want to start off by saying that Dee-1 should’ve definitely been on the front of that XXL Magazine. #PoliticsAsUsual! Not only is the homie qualified as an emcee but he’s technically qualified to teach the entire Freshmen Class! There was no sign of A$AP Rocky or SchoolBoy Q on this cover either.
Coincidentally, Dee did make the cover of OffBeat, which is a monthly print magazine focusing on the music, cuisine and culture of New Orleans and Louisiana. That’s a blessing in disguise, even if these are two totally different calibers of magazines. Big shouts out to my brotha Dee-1, the one man army–the battle continues!
