Hip Hop with politics

This is another Hip Hop magazine "The Source", which incorporate Hip Hop with politics. This comes down to the fact that "The Source" is a Hip Hop magazine. Here it presents rappers and Hip Hop artists who support Obama, as a way of encouraging more people to vote.
Another Hip Hop magazine of "Vibe", in another issue which uses Obama on the front cover of their issue. In this issue the image focus is on Obama, through the use of close up of Obama's face. Although the main image is of one of a politician, other Hip Hop regular storyline can be seen such an issue of Jay Z.



















This is the front cover of Vibe magazine, which is one of the largest Hip Hop magazine based in America. As you an see, Vibe has an image of Obama on the front cover to possible promote this policies in order for the public of America to vote for him. Obama may have been used on the front cover of the magazine due to the fact that he is black, as most Hip Hop magazine promote the success of black people.

I have used similar headlines in my own magazine (Lyrical)stating "Special juice issue, it's Obama time for the second time". This is because other Hip Hop magazines include such issue as it's educative.
