    That car is the ‘much hated’ Trabant, originally made in Eastern Germany during the communist years. You can find them all over Eastern Europe although people are quick to get rid of them at the earliest opportunity. Personally, I love the darn things! From what I understand, they are a true PITA to drive because they only have a two-stroke engine which is troublesome to manage. But they sure look cute! Maybe I’ll get one; I’ve been thinking about it.

    2Pac was okay, I suppose. I certainly don’t buy into the commerce-driven myth that he was the greatest thing to hip hop since running water. He made a few good things, but was no poet or legend.

    In any event, if you disagree, I certainly hope you see the very thick irony in the Noua Dreapta thugs tagging anti-tigani and pro-nazi messages while embracing a black man’s art. The two are completely incongruous. Idiots.

    If we want to talk politics and rap, then holla at a brutha bout some PE…
