Happy New Year from Pop and Politics!

I feel blessed that I’m dropping the first blog of the new year (ok technically it’s not the first ever blog of the new year and it’s definitely not January 1 anymore, but something fresh nonetheless).  I think 2007 is going to be a different year with many changes in store.  Even the air smells different.

To reenergize you for the new year I want to start out with something positive.  Common has a new music video out called “A Dream,” a single produced by will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas for the new film Freedom Writers.  Now to avoid this from becoming an advertisement for the movie, which I haven’t seen anyway, just check out the video above.  It’s Martin Luther King’s legacy remixed for a new generation. 

No Nas, Hip Hop ain’t dead yet.
