Slam Bush - a video and a slam contest to help get rid of Bush
Slam Bush is looking for a national champion; someone whose voice could represent Hip Hop in a face-to-face debate against the President, either in the streets or behind the podium.

Hip Hop can help send George Bush back to Texas where he belongs.

Starting in August, local Slam Bush battles will be held around the country. At these events, ground breaking slam poets and battle MCs will bang on Bush for local championships and cash prizes.

Winners from across the country will be selected to attend the National Slam Bush Championship in late September to perform in front of some of Hip Hop’s most respected names. The Slam Bush Champ will be awarded a Grand Prize of $5000.

You have ot see the video, it's great. The contest is a cool idea - maybe there are some DU members who are interested.

But would Chuck D being one of the judges make it unethical to promote the contest on Air America?

Since all the slams are sixty seconds, they could string all the semi-finalists into one longform video.
