What I like best about it was seeing how effectively a white suburban middle aged Republican was able to harness the urban anger, disillusionment and the alienation of our young black youth’s music and poetry, and tie that to the challenges he faces in this election!
Not going to shake the world, but it makes ya tap your feet. Watched it twice, no harm, no foul, will be easily remembered as easily as it will be forgotten…
Nice to hear some feedback. I wanted to share my story in a non-traditional way. I was in a band that featured long time John Mellencamp keyboardist who wrote and performed the song for me. He also did some mixing work for TuPac. Here is the full song. http://youtu.be/NP5UR6C9-E8

Wow, Terry seems to have gotten a pass every year since 2000.

Rappylicious and silly, but it’s all good. It’s friendly and memorable which is a very good thing for a challenger.
But how do you shoot in Gurnee and not work in a roller-coaster ride and metaphor?

It breaks the clutter, but not in a good way.

We have elections way too often. Uncle.

You watch the whole thing so there is that. Actually kind of entertaining, not Tim Nieukirk entertaining, but kind of entertaining…

Fun. Would have liked to see the rapper.

I would suggest the “cat fight then love” that is on his YouTube channel… quality.

*Adds to another favorite campaign tune introduced at Bud Billken Day Parade, circa 2003…creating new “Favorite GOP Campaign Tunes Playlist.”*

Video highlights his infectious, likable personality. This guy is the hardest working candidate I’ve run across in many elections.

Sorry. Obviously “Bud BillIken Day Parade….”

I can’t get over the terrible judgment displayed in his font choice.

Let me be the first to call it: Terry Link wins re-election in a landslide.

Above parity. It gets a healthy “pass”. He’s being disruptive in his messaging and it has a chance to move around virally. Good effort.
- The Prince - Wednesday, Jun 18, 14 @ 2:32 pm:
I rank it right up there with the Chicago GOP’s “Call Me Maybe” and Edwin Eisendrath’s ads.

How is TuPac these days? I heard he and Elvis are working on something together.
- Ela Observer - Wednesday, Jun 18, 14 @ 2:55 pm:
It’s official now…
hip hop has jumped the shark
- Knome Sane - Wednesday, Jun 18, 14 @ 3:36 pm:
Is the TuPAC registered with the State Board of Elections?

@ MrJM - “I can’t get over the terrible judgment displayed in his font choice.
It’s comic sans, no? Emphasis on the “comic”.
