One of our guys over on Highbrid Nation did a post on Russell Simmons backing Barack Obama. Lol, he didn’t have very kind things to say about it. I’d have to agree with him too. Russell is one of the founding fathers of hip hop but he’s not really relevant to the crowd he tries to speak on behalf of.
