Hip Hop and Politics

First there was the Kerry rap, then came Eminem's Mosh. Now activists in Kiev are using hip hop music for protests [via Drudge Report].
It took only four hours to make and is not on sale anywhere. But it's essential listening for the young protesters on the streets of Kiev.

Cars blare it out as they roar through the Ukrainian capital, DJs at the protests use it to set the crowd alight and an opposition television channel plays it several times a day.Singer Roman Kalin and guitarist Roman Kostyuk are the brains behind the song. They took slogans protesting against the result of a Nov. 21 presidential poll from their home town of Ivano-Frankivsk and set them to a hip-hop beat.
