I know Loren Feldman of 1938 Media and while I am sure he meant TechNigga as a parody it is so unfunny it is impossible not to take offense to his black face skit. Granted he has made a name for himself taking on various tech demigods but he really should have made sure this skit was funny before putting it on the net. For shame Loren, i know you know better than that.
See Loren’s various apologies on ValleyWag.

When CrackSpace launched in 2006, I quickly discounted it. With a name like Crackspace how could they expect advertisers to bite? Fast forward two years, the hip hop social network has dropped its unfortunate monkeyer and reamerged as iHipHop featuring new and updated features, including user-profile widgets, video chat, blogs, and a hip-hop wiki. They claim they have 800,000 registered users but the activity (profile views and streaming counts) on the site don’t seem to support that claim. Why the community section Crackspace or their video CrackTV are still named is beyond me. If you are going to re-brand take it all the way.
They need to further develop their Facebook app to make it interactive and serve more than a news feed but become a bridge to share content between your profile on iHipHop and your Facebook page.
All things considered, this is a step in the right direction and i’ll recommend that the developing artists i work with build out profiles.

Dennis Haysbert (Mr. Allstate) aka the actor who played the fictional US President, David Palmer on 24 thinks his character paved the way for Barack Obama’s candidacy.
“If anything, my portrayal of David Palmer, I think, may have helped open the eyes of the American people,” says the actor.”
But what about Morgan Freeman’s administration as Tom Beck in Deep Impact or Tiny Lister, I mean Deebo as President Lindenburg in The Fifth Element?
If anything, George Clinton should get some credit too. “Paint The White House Black” pre-dates them way back to 1993.

Snoop Dogg, LL Cool J, Ciara, Egypt, Doug E. Fresh, Flo Rida, Russell Simmons, oh and filmmaker George Lucas, think you should register and vote in 2008. I’m not sure how George Lucas got looped into a hip hop voting PSA, (the press release didn’t mention him at all). Perhaps there are more Star Wars hip hop geeks than I originally thought.
