[GEO.TV] Kámala Harris Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, now a senatrix from California former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful, and Joe Biden's wing nut... , the vice president of the United States of America, celebrated the 50th anniversary of the hip-hop music genre on Saturday as she invited some of the acclaimed rappers from Lil Wayne to Slick Rick to perform at the "first-ever hip-hop house party at the office of the vice president of the US."
She celebrated the anniversary of the music genre in a star-studded event held at her home in Washington, D.C., and it was attended by music greats like Common, Doug E. Fresh, and Fat Joe.
Addressing the audience at the occasion, Harris declared hip-hop the ultimate art form, saying, "Hip-hop is the ultimate American art form. Hip-hop now shapes nearly every aspect of America’s popular culture, and it reflects the incredible diversity and ingenuity of the American people."
She continued that hip-hop creates something entirely new by combining rhythms from different regions, including the Continent of Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Harris declared that hip-hop has an ethos of power, purpose, pride, ambition, aspiration, strength, and self-determination.
Several stars, including Jeezy, Remy Ma, D-Nice, Wale, Black Alley Band, Saba, and Lil Wayne, performed at the event. Lil Wayne concluded the event by performing his hits A Milli, Mrs. Officer, and Uproar and remarking, "Thank you for inviting me. I appreciate this."

There's some hilarious videos on youtube of rappers watching "The Devil went down to Georgia" and freaking out because they say it's basically rap and it's from the 1970's.

"Lil Wayne concluded the event by performing his hits A Milli..."
(A few of A Milli lyrics)
I'm a venereal disease like a menst**** bleed
Through the pencil, and leak on the sheet of the tablet in my mind
'Cause I don't write sh*t, 'cause I ain't got time
'Cause my seconds, minutes, hours go to the almighty dollar
And the almighty power of that ch-cha-cha-chopper
Sister, brother, son, daughter, father, mother-f**k a copper
Got the Maserati dancin' on the bridge, p***y poppin'
Tell the coppers, "Ha-ha-ha-ha"
You can't catch 'em, you can't stop 'em
I go by them goon rules, if you can't beat 'em then you pop 'em
You can't man 'em then you mop 'em
You can't stand 'em then you drop 'em
You pop 'em 'cause we pop 'em like Orville Redenbacher (ooh)
Muthaf**ka', I'm ill, yeah

Re "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" as rap; they really need to listen to Charlie Daniel's first hit song, "Uneasy Rider". More like rap: no melody at all, just talkin'. With the added bonus that the narrator is blowin a joint in the first stanza.

[America Insider] Speculation is swirling about who is really in charge and the Biden Administration as President Joe Biden appears unfit for office.
At 80 years old, Biden is the oldest president in US history. If re-elected, he would be 82 at the start of his next term and 86 at the end of it.
Numerous high-profile political commentators and former politicians, including former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, have suggested Biden can’t possibly be making the important decisions.
During an appearance on Newsmax, political commentator Megyn Kelly suggested that former president Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama may be actually running the show.
"There are a lot of people who think the Obamas are already running the government and that there is some sort of shadow puppet situation going on that they’re controlling," Kelly told Newsmax. "There’s been questions from the beginning — is it Joe Biden really making the calls?"
"I think Michelle Obama is seen as a savior figure by the Democrats who think she’s the most beautiful person ever. They think she’s the strongest leader. They think she’s their big hope," Kelly said.

I know some people who think Blackrock is running the show.
I watched an interview with an Russian Economist Michael Hazin. He said something interesting
Hazin "In the 80es the economics dep in major wester universities were taken over by the finance guys (people who play with money)."
Interviewer "So what?"
Hazin "Finance guys don't understand Economics."

Michelle was a marginal student and employee with no demonstrated leadership ability. She also hates work and whitey. Other than that she will make a great president. The idea that Michelle is grinding every day in policy study and strategy to puppeteer Biden is laughable.
