CANDIDATES' HIP-HOP ALTER EGOS

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Eminem and Al Gore may seem worlds apart -- but they're really two peas in a pod. That's according to the folks at "Hip-Hop For President," a campaign trying to encourage hip-hoppers to vote on November 7th. The group is using hip-hop stars to explain each presidential candidate's position and organizers claim Gore is like Eminem because they're both talented white guys who have credibility. But they also compare Gore to Vanilla Ice, who tries so hard to be "down" with African-Americans that he comes off as a joke. As for George W. Bush, the group says he's a lot like Wu-Tang Clan rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard because he often says crazy things. Bush is also similar to Puff Daddy because both men have lots of money and aren't afraid to throw it around.
