[Video] An Obama Impersonator Entertains a GOP ‘Leadership’ Gathering

Besides a lot of really lame jokes, does this dude even really look like Obama?? Maybe if he went on an all-ice cream diet for a month and started wearing make-up! But is this racist like Think Progress claims?

[DJ mix] Chris Read – Classic Material Edition 8

“Edition #8 of our monthly Classic Material series pays tribute to the hip hop of 1994, a year which for many is best remembered for giving us two of hip hop’s most revered debut albums, Nas‘ Illmatic and Notorious B.I.G‘s Ready to Die. It was also a golden year for radio and mixtape DJs with tapes from the likes of Funkmaster Flex, Stretch Armstrong, Doo Wop, Ron G and others being a key outlet for the new breed of underground acts as well as established names. Despite tempos generally drifting downward in comparison with previous years and the general sound of the year’s output being laidback and largely jazz infused, ’94 had its fair share of anthems, Craig Mack‘s ‘Flava In Your Ear’, Gang Starr‘s ‘Mass Appeal’ and Channel Live‘s ‘Mad Izm’ being notable examples.

As with previous editions, our mix places classic cuts alongside the lesser heard. The CD version, available next week from the Classic Material online store includes a megamix of 30 classic cuts from 1994 and a Chris Read Remix of a classic 1994 cut.”

How come labels can’t offer package for sale like this?? Dude’s even doing a release event for this edition – get details HERE.
