The other day, in the comments thread for a post about how gangster Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is, I asked who should record his theme song. A couple good suggestions — 50, for instance, was one; Porky Pig another — but if you want a job done right, punk rock instructs you to do it yourself. What you are about to witness is the beginning of the rap career of Blago del Fuego, as he jacks — of course! — the Shawty Lo "Dey Know" beat. The second verse is by my man Vitamin; the production is another Charles Gray classic; big thanks to my friend X from FDL for putting this great video together.
Yes, that’s right, not only is Blago up on the latest rap feuds, he’s finding time in his busy schedule to call out Common and Yeezy.

Blagojevich
Destroy a b*tch.
*snerk*
gotta love the Marlon Brando I coulda been a contendah! look with that black leather jacket.
Just listened to CBS News with Katie Couric and they asked Bob Scheifer what his take was on the failure of providing loans to the U.S. auto industry and the asshole said nothing about breaking the unions just that the cracker Senators were expressing the “will” of their consituents who are opposed to the “bailout.” How long must the nation suffer these rich celebrities that are nothing more than spinmeisters for the status quo? They are merely foot soldier in the service of power and priviledge in the class war that the Republicans have been waging since the last great Depression.
How about Rahm Emmanuel as a sideman for Blago? Of course, he’s not had much to say about those multiple conversations with Blago. Blago hasn’t sounded like he got anything out of them, so far, but the tapes are yet to be released, and until that happens, or Fitz steps up to a mic and says that Emmanuel said nothing that could be construed as a deal offer, then Rahm is going to do some twisting in the wind, and to a certain extent, Obama with him.
As lousy as this all is, it’s way better to get it aired out now, than 3 months from now.
I heard today (on msnbc, I think) that Rahm would know Blago no matter what because, for one thing, they are from the same district, for crying out loud.
I think anyone in the system would know anyone else in the system, and would also know that Blago is bad news. Blago did not frequent the state capital very much, so it is possible that Rahm’s connection is people’s business only. But we do need to know more.

Well, if Rahm was up to no good and ‘conspiring’ with Blago, then why did Blago start blurting out profanities when referring to the ‘appreciations’ he was only getting from Rahm or whoever in the Obama clan he had talked to?
Seems to me, Blago is on his own in all of this.
Great song parody — what I can make out of it, that is. How about posting the lyrics for those of us too hard of hearing to catch all the words as they go by?
