I’m running for Congress

October 26, 2011

I announced that I am seeking the Democratic nomination to represent my home district of NY-6 (southeast Queens) in the United States House of Representatives.  My message is that we need to focus on the needs of everyday Americans.

With over 8% of Americans unemployed, now is the time to demand stronger leadership. Strengthening essential programs on which everyday Americans rely, investing in our infrastructure, and improving our educational system must be prioritized over needless wars and tax spending on the wealthy. To put it simply, President Obama needs more support from his own party to enact the changes promised by his election.

I hope you will join the campaign at www.scalaforcongress.com.

September 3, 2011

I was told the Democratic Party needed my “youth, activism, clarity of vision, and ability to actually fight and make an argument.”

Ask me anything.

Old school or New School? Who, what’s better?

June 30, 2011

That depends on what’s considered “old school” these days. I remember being in a pool hall a few years ago and some kid protested, “What is this, old school night?!” when Big Pun came on. To me, old school was always 1980s and earlier. Now, I think many would consider Jay-Z and Nas — the prototypical “new school” rappers — old school. That makes me feel old. Regardless, I think the best period for Hip Hop was the 1990s.

Ask me anything.

Chuck D speaks on Toupe Fiasco

May 14, 2011


 

From the “And You Don’t Stop” radio show:

I challenged the Hip Hop community to say something supporting the president while dissing the Apprentice Master Donald.  The rap community came up crickets.  Nothing, sans a few…[who] responded straight up as a rap situation, dissing Donald Trump, putting him right back in his place.

Chuck then introduced the Toupe Fiasco record and played it on the air.  There aren’t many higher accolades.

The video has also been added to Hip Hop’s TMZ, Vlad TV.
