Essay 149

Thank God It’s Almost Friday with MultiCultClassics Minutes…

• Michael Jackson revealed plans to create a song ala “We Are The World” to benefit Hurricane Katrina victims. New Orleans evacuees are cautioned to hide their children.

• Houston rap group the Legendary K.O. created a song inspired by Kanye West’s criticism of President Bush. The group actually worked West’s rant into their rap, producing the latest underground hit. Maybe they’ll follow it up with a track incorporating Barbara Bush’s commentary on evacuees in Texas.

• Another rap star may be facing a PR disaster as a result of Hurricane Katrina. Compton rapper the Game planned to unveil his designer kicks during the upcoming holiday season. Problem is, the shoes are named the Hurricane. Out of respect for the hurricane victims, the Game will donate proceeds from shoe sales to charity.

• California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is now facing attacks from fellow Republicans criticizing his record on Latino appointments. Schwarzenegger is quickly losing popularity in the community, as folks realize he hasn’t reached out to Latinos since hooking up with Maria Conchita Alonso in The Running Man.

• Not everybody was Kung Fu fighting. Especially at the Long Island whorehouse operated by Gao Xian — the martial arts expert and actor responsible for training folks for “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.” Cops raided the kung fu studio-massage parlor-brothel and arrested Xian. And they didn’t even need a samurai army to take him down.
