16 Sep 2008All props to Angry Brown Butch for cluing us in to SieteNueve’s Quedate Callao, a hardcore real response to Daddy Yankee’s endorsement of John McCain, raising all the issues that we have here and that the mainstream Spanish language media refuses to.

Yesterday morning, an interview with Puerto Rican reggaeton artist and John McCain endorser, Daddy Yankee, aired on Univision’s Al Punto with Jorge Ramos.
For a while Jorge Ramos danced around the issue of Daddy Yankee’s political endorsement, instead talking about his movie/cd Talento del Barrio, that has the novel story line of a young Rican making it out of the caserios via his music.
When Jorge Ramos finally asks about the endorsement, Daddy Yankee said it was based on McCain’s position on immigration. Someone please get Daddy Yankee a clue.

28 Aug 2008Everyone wants the Latino vote, even if we are all gang bangers and putas, at least according to the mainstream media. Day after day, out hotness and criminality is highlighted, even in so – called political articles covering endorsements and independent media here at the DNC.
I never thought I’d have anything in common with Daddy Yankee, who recently endorsed Republican presidential candidate John McCain. And no, I’m not talking about being Puerto Rican, I’m talking about being stereotyped.
