You Down Wit' GOP?
Dana Mozie was raised in Philadelphia in a tough neighborhood controlled by gangs. He attended Howard University with Puffy and earned his hip-hop credentials in the late 1980s working with one of rap's most menacing incarnations, NWA, and one of its most sanitized, Kid 'N Play. These days, however, Mozie is a Washington-based political activist.
Nothing surprising in that, right? Russell Simmons is an increasingly powerful political organizer, too. Rap and hip-hop are intrinsically political forms, liberal vocabularies for a million things going wrong in America. They challenge, subvert, threaten, blah-blah-Tupac-blah. But Dana Mozie isn't the political activist you'd expect. He's a Republican. Mozie describes himself as the party's "ambassador to the hip-hop culture." The position is unofficial, unpaid and largely unrecognized. But within the GOP, the title of Hip Hop Ambassador is also unchallenged. Tell him the moniker is ridiculous and you'll get a first-person sociopolitical urban narrative. He's volunteered with the Republican National Committee and co-produced a documentary more.. flak's homepage has really evolved! also i was looking at some history of this "grand old (new) party" sounds just like our liberal party over here..even the name lies to you..
