Mike Huckabee Thinks Mitt Romney Has No #Swag

Yesterday, Biko went on Mike Huckabee’s radio show to talk about the youth vote. During the discussion, the former Arkansas governor compared Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney to Ward Cleaver, the iconic father figure from the ’50s television show “Leave it to Beaver.”

Of course, you are probably too young into your Tumblr page to know that Ward Cleaver was the squarest dude on TV back in the day, but it’s safe to say that the former Presidential candidate definitely isn’t feeling Romney’s #swag.

Check out Governor Huckabee’s diss and his interview with Biko after the jump.

[WATCH] DMX on the Breakfast Club

X is truly one of the game’s realest artists. He’s experienced numerous trials, tribulations, and triumphs. In this interview, you get to see a major artist that temporarily checked out and checked back in, weigh in on the current state of hip-hop.

In my opinion, this is the almost exact interview I’d expect from 2Pac if he was to ever pop up on the scene. You’re gonna have to look past the gritty, grimey exterior to love the energy and honesty that he’s giving us. There will never be another DMX.

[WATCH] Cashmere Thoughts featuring: D.A. Wallach

The first time I met DA Wallach, one half of Pharrell’s band Chester French/ one half of the Supa Dups, I knew I had came across a special person in the music industry. Although we were introduced on Facebook, we were from the same city which is where we eventually had our first meeting. After sitting down and discussing his music and interests, he presented me with the opportunity to tour the country with them. I accepted and thank God I did.

Simply put, DA is a genius. He knows a hell of a lot about music and the business behind it as well as African American studies, which is what he majored in while attending Harvard. If you ever get a chance to meet this guy and hold a conversation with him you’ll be blown away. In fact, now that a few years have passed, the conversation may be a little bit more interesting given his new position at Spotify, one of the world’s largest online music platforms.

Don’t take my word for it. [WATCH] Cashmere’s VP of Creative Strategy, Ryan Ford’s exclusive 5 minute interview w/ Chester French’s very own D.A. Wallach

[VIDEO] “Freeway” Rick Ross Speaks w/ 99Problems About Being on Papers

Last week, I got the opportunity to hold a conversation with “Freeway” Rick Ross, who was once said to have made millions of dollars in the drug game. During the conversation, he was willing to shed light on his felony status as a result of his past, as well as his lack of support for SB-207 (a bill in Wisconsin that would allow employers to discriminate against felons). What is interesting is that although Ross has potential to be so influential in the community, he’s not allowed because of being on papers.
