AllHipHop coming to you live from Denver at the DNC.  We won't waste any more time with Michelle Obama as we're sure you've peeped her speech everywhere.  But like many conventions, after the show it's the afterparty and Rock The Vote was more than happy to oblige.

N.E.R.D. were co-headliners at the event with Fallout Boy and they rocked the crowd with their massive hit "Everybody Nose", and N.E.R.D. standards "Lapdance" and "She Wants To Move." To be honest, there hasn't been many hotties here at the convention, but every one of them must have been sent an alert because all 20 of them joined Pharell on the stage for their finale.  Shout out to one lil homie who managed to sneak in both the show AND the afterparty...although his lady "friend" kept hopping on stage while he was outside.  Bag up lil homie!

Mechanically, Pharell is getting good at performing and even though there were a ton of older Democrats in the building with the "WTF" look on their faces, they got into the show and Pharell and crew actually tore it down.

Fallout Boy was brought on to close the show.  Although they came with tremendous energy, honestly they got "out rocked" by N.E.R.D. and their set was a bit anti-climactic.  They did get busy with "Thanks For the Memories," and "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" from their last album.  The highlight of their set however was a cover of Michael Jackson's "Beat It" which they beefed up with a heavier guitar.

After milling around for a while we went outside and caught a glimpse of that Obamania. What you gonna do, when the Black Candidate runs wild on you?  Sell bootleg Obama t shirts.  These cats in Denver would make 125th Street proud.  Obama buttons, Obama T-shirts (3 for $20), Obama hats.  They had everything but Obama condoms (there WAS  a shady vendor behind one of the buses AHEM). I don't know about his tax plan but with all those t-shirts he's already bosting the economy.

The AFTERafter party was hosted by Nick Cannon who quite frankly did his thing.  He banged out the somewhat older crowd with soul and disco joints from the late 70's early 80's but he really hurt them with an 80s rock set with hits from Journey, Bon Jovi, Guns n Roses, among others. Oh yeah free food and open bar. America is great. 

After collecting swag bags we bumped into Murs, who is also running for president.  Of what you ask?  You be the judge:

 

Nick Cannon also weighed in on why he Rocks The Vote

Special note to Democrats: When you're on the dance floor and you flail about as if you were a fish out of water and we give you the thumbs up, I know it looks like it's approval but it's really just the green light to keep making a fool of yourself for our personal enjoyment. Rock on!

*********************************************************************

The number of police officers, troopers and agents out here in Denver is amazing. A lot of people feel that it is very close to a police state, something unnerving to some in Denver, Colorado. We noticed that there are a lot of fresh new cameras on the city streets. Some appear to be for tickets and others for surveillance. They all look to be pristine, clean and new.

 

There is an officer every 20 feet when you walk about the area surrounding the Pepsi Center, where the DNC is being held. The officers are equipped with every weapon imaginable. On average, the authorities are don about 60-70 pounds of armor and weaponry. There are snipers on every rooftop, most of which are hidden. Helicopters are in the air and armored vehicles are riding with armed troops on them.  There are even behavioral detection officers so any suspicious people are spotted quickly.

 

Sadly, they need to have it. The authorities busted a man that allegedly plotted to do harm to the Democratic presidential hopeful. Here is a partial report from the Rocky Mountain News:

 

Authorities are investigating a possible threat against presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

 

Aurora police arrested a longtime drug user Sunday afternoon during a routine traffic stop where the man was seen "weaving," sources said. Two possible other accomplices also were arrested, according to police.

 

Police found four weapons, including two rifles and two handguns, in a rented pickup.

That arrest then led authorities to a second man staying at the Cherry Creek Hotel at 600 South Colorado Blvd in Glendale. When authorities knocked on the man's door, they say he jumped out of his sixth floor window, landing on an awning and running from the scene. They say they soon found him with a broken ankle. He too was arrested.

 

Overall, there is a positive and festive atmosphere. People are friendly and , even with lighting bolts flying out of the lumbering clouds, little can dampen the human electricity in the air of Denver.

songs and t-shirts are not politics.  You should learn your process and you should really connect with what this election is about.

I ain't gonna lecture you on shit i don't know you and you do what you do.  but for nothing else you have the opportunity to see if a move in a different direction would work.  Was Bush Kerry an actual choice? that's up to discussion.  

This country is fucked up. and even if a choice between the lesser of two evils is what it is then hold that. it doesn't matter

I'm out here man and i can tell you that lot of it is bullshit, and no they aren't talking about issues.  Either side. so you have to wonder that if you spend a billion dollars to not talk about the problems and you win, whoever wins is not going to be on the level.  but that doesn't mean that your vote doesn't count

I can't believe all you guys are riding the wagon for Barrack Huiessen Obama! He is a joke he has failed policys when it comes to lowering gas prices. Jimmy Carter tred these and failed and people say Jimmy Carter was one of the worst President who didn't do anything. So look who is at the DNC this week CARTER!. You guys are all being feed an illusion that the press is trying to trap you in. That is that Obama is ready or a good man to be president. His past is being covered by the media! (who are all tree huggers and liberals). Time magazine has put Obama on the face of there cover 7 times compared to John McCain! Journalism has deid this year try to feel the public Obama only because they feel that they can control him and force him to do why they want. OBAMA IS WEAK and has only been in the senate for less than 3 years this is a joke he has never even been heard of before 2007. He made 1 speech in 2002 that is all. Now all these artist are suppporting Obama and it says alot of them that they are riding the wagon in order to be liked. Artist like Nas who attacked FOX NEWS for being fair in coverage of Obama and McCain. This is sad!! Compare McCain's experience to Obama's and he is untouchabble. Obama's own vice president said that obama was not ready to be president!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(while they were up against each other). CLinton had said the same in the past just look at the John McCain ad. This election isnt about race or lets put the first black man in office. Its more than that America needs to follow the best choice who is John McCain. He is an american hero and has done an excellent job in arizona.
FACTS ABOUT OBAMA MEDIA COVERS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1) Wife was part of million man march
2) Was supported by terrorist groups
3)Flip flooper in abortion
4)Lied about Rev. Wright

Ask your self did you know who Obama was before 2007? No! he is a 2bit chicago hustler who went into the Senate by disqualifying his 2 opposites. Please look up info on Obama he is not fit to run America enough of this race card.

RINDY SAID:

RACE CARD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS COLDHUSTLER!

1. WHAT NAS SAIDS DOESN'T REFLECT ON OTHERS. IT ONLY REFLECTS ON NAS.

2. ANYONE CAN BE A WAR HERO: UNCLE, AUNT,SISTER OR BROTHER, THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE. LOTS OF PEOPLE SERVE IN THE SERVICE(HAVE TITLES TO).WAR TODAY IS WAY DIFFERENT FROM THE WARS OF YESTERDAY.

3. MCCAIN AND OBAMA HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE AS SENATORS JUST ONE SERVED LONGER THAN THE OTHER. BOTH HAVE DONE GOOD THINGS AS SENATORS.

4. THIS IS A FACT! OBAMA WAS PUT ON DISPLAY IN THE COVERAGE MORE THAN ANY OTHER PERSON THAT HAS RUN FOR PRESIDENT. IT WAS NOT FAIR , I HAVE SEEN EVERY COVERAGE OF THE NEWS. HE STILL IS STANDING AND RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.

5. THE MILLION MAN MARCH WAS A POSITIVE MARCH. JUST BECAUSE A MUSLIM PERSON THOUGHT OF THE IDEA AND PUT IT TOGETHER DOESN'T MEAN IT WAS A NEGATIVE THING. UNITING BLACK MEN TOGETHER.

6. ALL ARE SUPPORTED BY TERRORIST GROUPS. DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS GET MONEY FROM DIRTY PEOPLE. MONEY ITSELF IS FROM DIRTY HANDS TO GOOD HANDS.

7. REV. WRIGHT HAS TO ANSWER TO GOD FOR HIS DEEDS. ALL MAN HAS TO ANSWER FOR WHAT THEY DO, AND NOT FOR WHAT OTHERS DO AND SAY. THIS ALSO INCLUDES YOU COLDHUSTLER. THE CHURCH OBAMA WENT TO WAS NOT ALL BLACK IT WAS MOSTLY WHITES THAT ATTEND THAT CHURCH. WHY THEY WEREN'T OFFENSIVE ABOUT THE COMMENTS HE MADE?

8.  IF MAN CAN ACCEPT GAY MARRIAGE, THAN ABORTION IS NO OPTION IN THIS WORLD. WE WANT TO ACCEPT ONE WRONG DOING BUT DON'T WANT TO ACCEPT THE OTHERS. TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE IT RIGHT.

9. TO CALL SOMEONE A 2BIT HUSTLER IS DEAD WRONG, BUT COMING FROM YOU, IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE.

Hmmmm so your telling me the Million Man March was a BAD THING @ COLDHUSTLER...

Thats the most ignorant thing ive seen on this post by far. Its totally obvious that your just a republican antagonizer whos only on this site to fuel confusion or dislike for Obama. Fuck off. Who gives a shit about Rev. Wright? McCain ALSO had a pastor he had to disassociate with himself. Lets not forget that. And just cuz his dumbass got caught and captured in Vietnam doesnt make him a warhero it makes him a survivor and I know plenty of people who are going through there own war right here in this country everyday that they are trying to survive through. So fuck your conservative bullshit. Save it for the GOP blog.
