See Bernie rap in "Bern It Up"

[LongTomH]

Video and remix artist has a new video for Bernie Sanders using clips from Bernie's speeches:

Bernie Sanders and his supporters are confident that the Senator from Vermont is well qualified to serve as Commander in Chief, but does he have what it takes to be a hip-hop star? Video-remix specialist DJ Steve Porter seems to think so, judging from his latest Rolling Stone exclusive supercut. Porter, who knows a little something about hip-hop – he recently helped us celebrate Eminem's birthday with his "Shady Birthday" remix – cleverly stitched together snippets of Sanders speeches to create a surprisingly catchy rap track called "Bern It Up."

Yet despite the style of the song, Porter thinks that Sanders embodies the spirit of a different musical genre altogether: "Bernie is an absolute heavy-metal rock star," he enthuses, "and his middle-class message deserved an anthem. Hopefully 'Bern It Up' is it!"

2. Rather not.

I'm for Bernie but I am also an emcee and sick and tired of the bit of old, white people rapping and "isn't that cute?!". No, I haven't watched the video but 99% of the time the aforementioned circumstance happens. As a member of the community I want Rap to be taken seriously as a force for positive change. Yes, I know that rap is a thing by itself and "Rap is something you do, Hip-Hop is something you live&quot KRS-ONE) but the two have become intertwined and are becoming thought of as the same thing.
