I am very serious. I have had the misfortune of being present at dozens of ethnic parades in NYC and the PR parade is the second worst after the West Indian Parade. The parade attracts a very low class of people.
And the "performers" you asked me if I like..are any of them actually "performers"? I guess that is a very broad word. The guy Fat Joe is a rapper which makes me have zero respect for him in the first place. The only people I respect less than rappers are the kids that buy their music and subject me to it by blasting it from their cars or rapping to themselves like idiots in public places. The other people you mentioned, I do not know. Maybe they do have some talent. I don't know. I wont be there to see. Have fun.

PS I, like Leslie, want to know when the Dominican Day parade is. I would go to that one.
Just 4dat At the next DR Meet up (if u go) i'll rent a car wit big speakers n blast Fat Joes album then when i get indoors and we're choosing seats i'll sit next to you n rap the albumto you.
fat joe isn't ur average rapper during te concert he gave a speach on unity how we are one and stuff...two boriquos were fighting n it really upset him so he gave a speacho on how that use him and we are killing ourselves when wefight eachother, he also talked about big pun. fat joe is really deep andhas a lot of depth and cares about his communty that's why he is so loved and s very popular. here is a site (cani post it n info)

KRON:
Ever think of running for political office after Hip Hop? And how important is community to you?
FAT JOE:
Definitely! It's sad that you say that because I did a benefit right here at Jimmy's for that hurricane that destroyed Haiti, Santo Domingo and Puerto Rico. We raised $300,000.00 to give back water, medical supplies, food, and whatever. I feel like I am a people's person and a leader of our people. And at a time where we need it most is when Niggaz gotta show their truthfulness and step up. So we raised that. I also go to between 30 and 60 schools a year to talk to the kids and let `em know about teenage pregnancy and how Real it is out here for Blacks & Latinos. We're like fuckin' endangered species and like the prey in this big fuckin' concrete jungle. So I give the kids the reality. Some schools don't even want me back `cause I keep it so Real. I feel like it's important for me to go touch `em and embrace `em as somebody on that level who they know came from poverty and livin' on welfare with two outfits in a whole year, and **** like that. It's important that I speak to them rather than some white middle-aged guy who's gonna tell `em some **** they can't relate to. I think it's important for me to go out there and reach them. And as far as politically, I'm thinkin' in 8 to 10 years I wanna go for Bronx Borough President and take it to that next level. And just help my People's. Be fair to everybody, `cause I don't hate white people. But I have to take care of my own, and it's certain things that our community needs that we don't get responses to.
