Due to popular demand, we have re-printed out most successful mixtape to date:
SLAM BUSH: The Official Mixtape
October 22, 2004 Hard Knock Records Releases “SLAM BUSH: The Official Mixtape” 29-Tracks of Lyrical and Turntable Mastery (Oakland, CA) Hard Knock Records along with Slam Bush National Rhyme Contest, Hard Knock Radio, The League Of Pissed Off Voters PAC, Free Range Graphics and UMA Productions bring you the mixtape with the most beef, “SLAM BUSH: THE OFFICIAL MIXTAPE” containing twenty-nine rare and exclusive tracks.
“SLAM BUSH : THE OFFICIAL MIXTAPE”featuresthe 25-year old National Slam BushRhyme Competition Champion and Pittsburgh native, Vanessa German,with her “Thank You Poem To George Mutha F*cking Bush” along with an incredible line up of Hip Hop heavy weights and up and coming emceesspitting venomous rhymes aimed at GW. “Sending Bush home to Texas is the least the Hip Hop Nation could do.
We would actually like to thank George for the last four years - his Presidency has awoken the Hip Hop generation and has inspired millions to get involved.And frankly, we can’t survive another four years of Bushit in the White House or anywhere else for that matter,” said Nick Huff, President of Hard Knock Records. “Move over Kay Slay, ‘Slam Bush: The Official Mix Tape’ is the Beef record everybody’s been waiting for!” he added. The streets have watched and listened for the last four years and now it’s our turn to respond to the biggest wangstas of the all, George Bush.
With fourteen days to go before the election, Hip Hop Slams Bush hard in this Rhyme Battle for our future. Slam Bush is also a very real Get-Out-The-Vote campaign reaching millions of potential voters of the Hip Hop Nation. In a series of live shows leading up to this mixtape, it pit hundreds of America's best rappers and street poets against George W. Bush in 25 rhyme battles in critical swing states, registering new voters and building a large Hip Hop database for the League of Pissed Off Voters in its wake.
The contest culminated in a Slam Bush National Championship in Miami Florida, the day before the first Presidential debate, judged by Black Thought with performances by The legendary Roots and a surprise performance by songstress, Jill Scott. "The hardest part was sorting through the hundreds of tracks from every corner of the country - seems every Emcee in every hood, had a anti-Bush song," addedLouis Fox of Free Range Graphics, the creators of the Slam Bush Rhyme Contest. We couldn’t fit them all into the CD so we are now posting them on the Hard Knock Records website as well as our famed Wordsworth v. Bush music video.”
As much as the Hip Hop nation has felt disenfranchised with the voting system and the lack of attention the government pays to our communities, Bush’s policies have been so blatantly absurd, corporately driven and shortsighted that we have no choice but to get involved or risk the potential of our future.
A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS ALBUM WILL BE DONATED TO THE SLAM BUSH PAC.
