Diss Track Distraction
October 25th, 2006 at 07:28pm Alec
In what is either the most scathing diss track since Nas noted Jay Z took Tae Bo, or the most misguided political intervention by a rap “star” since Kanye West spilled the beans at the Grammys, hip hop heavyweight $trick9 has weighed into Iowa’s gubernatorial debate with a youtube “endorsement” of Jim Nussle.
Whatever Iowa’s biggie intended in his video, I’m thoroughly confused. You can watch for yourself, but here’s a highlight:
Jim Nussle’s got the ten commandments/ God Damnit/ You will lose/ Just give it up smooth…/ Republicans are on top and we can’t stop/ Until gay couples can’t adopt
Should we say thanks? Is this guy popular? Why is the Register covering this? Has hell frozen over?
Those are just a few of the questions that necessarily surround this brand of mega-event.
The intersection between Iowa and hip hop does, however, make one thing clear: if these are Nussle’s ideas, Iowa’s got 99 problems and $trick9 ain’t one.

Chet Culvwer stands for abortion, gay marriage, human cloning, illegal immigration, and seizing private property through eminent domain.
Those are not Iowa values, family values, or Christian values.
Those are the values of Hollyweird and the liberal elitists who will destroy this country if they prevail.
On top of that, Culver is just plain stupid.
That is why I will be voting for Jim Nussle.

Woody,
Jim Nussle stands for making college unaffordable, taking health care decisions out of the hands of female patients, cutting off life-saving research that could once again put Iowa on the forefront of medical discovery, and spending money that the government doesn’t have.
That’s why I’m voting for Chet.
