Not sure the GOP needs a music critic arm. Nor are any of the not black celebrities he names identified as conservatives. Seems like I remember a certain Vice President criticizing a white actress some time ago for promoting single motherhood. Didn't go well. Maybe the government should just stay out of the music industry.

What does hip hop have in common with conservatives?

May as well .. most of 'em have no standards anyway.

The fact that conservative wing does not identify with the hiphop (read: ThugLife/kill-a-cop/women-are-whores/steal-deal-drug/wear-your-pants-around-your-knees) culture... the fact that conservatives don’t identify with this culture and visa versa is one of THE REASONS I am conservative.

If this gentleman openly expressed his conservative views to his clients, he'd be out of a job.

A little bit of research finds that he's also the rep for Benny Hinn and Joe Francis (Girls Gone Wild).

This guy's a conservative? Hardly.

I’ll welcome anyone who holds the basic tenants of conservatism regardless of differences in other areas. I won’t “evolve” and redefine my beliefs to align with them, though. That’s where the GOPe has gone off the rails.

No.

“I want to hear you scream!”
“Play some rap music.”

Complete garbage.

Hip Hop is the destruction of American culture.

To paraphrase from this silliness:

How can one even begin to think that the Left is even remotely inclusive or that anyone in the communities that love hunting, freedom or God — black, white, young and not-so-young — would ever vote for a liberal?

If leftists hope to succeed in reaching the minds – and votes – of an enormous segment of society that crosses all American boundaries, they need to better understand hunting, freedom and God...

It’s not the music. I enjoy Irish traditional music and rebel songs, drinking songs and ballads, but if you’ve tried them and don’t like them I have no problem with you. Hip Hop and Rap do nothing for me (with the exception of a few mislabeled Hip Hop tunes that are more like R&B/Motown) but if you wish to listen to them, enjoy yourself.

It’s the culture that accompanies the music that is the problem. If you can enjoy the music but reject the culture, we welcome you. I rejected the Irish rebel IRA culture when the killing went from occupying British troops and Northern Irish paramilitary oppressors to car bombing whoever happened to be nearby. Learning of the newer IRA leadership’s Marxist leanings sealed the deal. But I still enjoy the songs.

“it hasn’t yet transcended political lines”

How can it? Hip hop doesn’t come from Conservative middle class working families in Republican districts. It comes from poverty driven Democrat districts. Everything they know comes from that.

"When we conservatives proclaim our desire to be inclusive, how can we have so little tolerance and understanding of a phenomenon as popular and American as hip-hop."

Sorry, PC claptrap speak...clearly indicates a liberal is talking so I don't listen.

BTW, hip hop or whatever flavor of gangsta crap they produce is just that, crap.

Even the IDIOTIC hip hop Cheerios commercial has made me stop and reevaluate my continued consumption of their product.
