I, Too, Hide Books in my Booty Shorts....

What is really crazy is that I know the artist who did this song (visit the website at the bottom of the vid to find out more about him) and I know he did it in the spirit of ironic social commentary on hip hop, the corporate media oligarchy and the sorry support our education system gets, esp. in the so-called "inner city."

And then BET got hold of the song....

But what else is knew in the relationship between art, artivism, hip hop and $$hollywood$$?

Well, I had the vision for this just not the visual talent. Thankfully someone has all the skills to put together such a production such that I can live vicariously through their work. "Score!"
