Hmm. Maybe America Should Be More Hip-Hop.

Mos Def joins a whole train wreck of celebrities encouraging everyone in their sphere of influence to get out and vote. Unlike Hayden Panettiere and Serena Vanderwoodsen, however, he doesn’t make the case for McCain or Obama.

Here he explains what he’d do as President.

Picture it: Free breakfast for kids, a weekend voting bonanza (“vote everywhere you play lotto”), a 100-year ban on the phrase “drop it like it’s hot,” National Tupac Day, universal healthcare, a 10 percent flat tax, and dissolution of the Electoral College.

Oh yeah, and mandatory community service for athletes and people that make over $500K a year. “You have more, you should do more!”

There’s a Sith reference somewhere in there too.
