The Ike Jackson Report: Terror in the world Edition

As a corporate owner of music and movie copyrights, I believe that I have a unique perspective on how the entertainment industry affects society and the government. In my world and in yours, it is time to make Hip Hop's voice on the Taliban, the Middle East, the tactic of terrorism and it's participants heard. I am on Christmas vacation and have had enough of this bullshit. I tried to wait for the holidays to pass to comment and then advise President Elect Obama on these events but I can see clearly none of the killers I am speaking about believe in God or Allah anyway so it can't wait till 2009.

We are at war and the Taliban wants to voice insults thinking they are somehow affecting President Elect Obama with that "House Nigga" comment. You have attained half your goal with your reckless and clearly uninformed words about our Black/White American president elect and insulted the Hip-Hop business community. Ayman al-Zawahiri, we in Hip-Hop is offended by your assumption that Malcolm X would be sympathetic to your cause. I am sure he would curse you in his old age. As a young student attending Cardinal Hayes high school in the Bronx, I read the autobiography of Malcolm X for a history class assignment. I even interviewed his lawyer at the time, Percy Sutton, for my book report (shout to Mr. Davis).

Mr. Sutton explained to me in clear terms NO ONE, I REPEAT LOUDLY NO ONE BLACK, WHITE, MUSLIM or of ISLAMIC DECENT except for the great actress Ruby Dee and her late husband the American patriot Ozzie Davis helped his family or his daughters when fellow Muslims assassinated him. Malcolm’s family had no money, no home, no sense of protection, no embrace or support by any community (including the American blacks), just a memory of horror. In fact, knowing Malcolm X's beautiful wife was burned to death alone focuses my anger at the Taliban even more. I have personally met 2 of his heart broken daughters so keep Obama and his administration out of your mouth. You have no friends in Hip –Hop, only observant enemies.

Taliban, you will have to realize white and black Americans are working out our domestic problems. Slowly, dragging our feet, but this leaves you terrorist in a bad position. After the money is right we will all then be focused on killing you. One by one. You don't move in groups so this works in Obama’s favor. This movement toward your collective death is going to take a grass roots community effort and motivation. I like Obama's approach. You see, Hip–Hop American participants have been terrorized domestically already and we are going to start terrorizing you if you do not stop involving black Americans and respected Hip -Hop icons in your propaganda. I hope for your sake the Bush/Cheney Administration was exaggerating about your seriousness to engage violently with American citizens because after this new administration gives us the go, we will kill you all and be highly motivated about it. Keep Obama's name out of your mouths.

The Taj Hotel was built by a respected Indian businessman who was refused service in white only hotels; which shows the people that we are dealing with clearly have no respect for their own people. Obama, I know Its Christmas and you feel the love but work with me, and have no feeling of remorse when you prepare to deal with these men. The game changes when you’re dealing with terrorist that spit on the graves of their ancestors who fought tyranny in a grand public way. Dispatch Hillary as soon as possible. I know you are reading this Mrs. Clinton, so pay attention. To become a good leader you must be a good follower. Replacing my favorite political figure at her post means you have to do better than good. If you show any disloyalty to President-elect Obama then you do not deserve to be president in the future. Hip-Hop will keep an eye out on how you follow orders. The act of loyalty to the Office of the Presidency of the United States will help you through all of your actions. Explain to India and Pakistan we want no part in this Global Islamic war because we do not rule them. If they continue upon this mutually destructive path we will wait until you are both weak and wipe you both out. You are still both brothers.

Israel, this advice comes with love. It also comes as an employer to employee conversation. (Israel is still getting billions of dollars in support). I am going to make you feel good then I am going to be strait you. American Jews have a relationship with Hip-Hop few understand. Jewish people have always respected and treated Black Hip-Hop participants as men, professionals and humans when few in the music business would. American Jews, especially of the profession of law, have enabled black Hip- Hop participants to construct and control their own destiny in life based upon a clear understanding of the law and our own vision of this business of Hip-Hop. How can we ever thank you enough for that? Hip -Hop admires, no envies, the courage it takes to seize land and protect it for your people. If Black Americans had the balls to seize land in Africa for past enslavement injuries and protect it (keeping duel citizenship of course and serving as a forward area for the US military) the world would respect us more. The problem is this present military operation of yours. Hip -Hop does not have a problem with it; we have a problem with your timing. This undisciplined decision to move forward in battle before Obama can access the situation and intervene on your behalf as President of the United States in January shows great lack of trust on your part.

Obama is now in a position where his word may mean nothing. The world already knows we are on your side and you work with United States frequently on global matters. You should have shown Obama you are a trusted friend by giving his administration a chance to make peace in your behalf without putting our collective goals in harms way.

America will help you at every turn when you call on us, but as a hurt friend, Hip -Hop knows you better win. May or June would have been a better time to attack. That extra time would have allowed us to help you prepare for battle. If you lose, you will have squandered all the work and capital we put into your country as a friendly forward area. We know you are protecting yourself, Israel. Hip-Hop is sensitive to the fact many offering you advice globally tried to exterminate your people or turned a blind eye to its survival. Even In your emotional state, remember who your true friends are.

The rest of the American Hip-Hop constituency must be upfront with all, friend or foe. Trust must be strong in relationships these days. A lot of Money is going to be made in 2009 and emotional decisions cannot rule the day. When you are angry with your business enemies do not turn your back or undermine key friendships. These friendships may be the key to your economic survival in these tough violent times. You do not want the world to say, "he has destructive and powerful enemies but his friends are worse".

This is Ike Jackson and you have just been scolded.
