DMV: We Used to the Waiting

Just when I thought DC rap was getting better, this comes along.

This is why we can’t have nice things DC. I mean I can’t hate on these guys trying to do their thing, but this is just not good. I think I could have made that beat in my apartment.

However, it is about DC, so i’m going to post it anyways. Maybe they can come up with something better in the future.

Shit DC says.

Obviously I am biased, but this is the best one so far. The actor might not be as good, but the phrases are on point.

Occupy D.C.: 11 arrested while protesting National Defense Authorization Act
During a march in front of the White House on Monday night protesting the National Defense Authorization Act, 11 were arrested, including protesters from Occupy D.C.’s McPherson square encampment.
The $662 billion measure approved by both houses of Congress would significantly expand the military’s power to detain terrorism suspects indefinitely. The group was demanding President Obama veto the bill.
Protesters were arrested after getting “too close” to the White House gates, according to Occupy D.C.’s Twitter feed. A roundup of photos and tweets from the protest are after the jump.
