 Mobstability album for sale Product Description

---

Mobstability album for sale by Twista / Twista & The Speed Knot Mobstaz was released Oct 06, 1998 on the Creator's Way/Big Beat label. On MOBSTABILITY, the artist formerly known as Tung Twista brings along fellow Chicago natives the Speedknot Mobstaz to increase street credibility. Mobstability songs Reflecting their geographical position in middle America, the mob stakes out a musical middle ground between regional styles. Rump-shaking southern jeep beats, the mafioso family-business subject matter and gangster-movie ambiance (see "Crook County") of East Coast hardcore, the double-time flows and harmonic conceits of fellow midwesterners Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and the bass grooves and trebly synthesizer of L.A. G-funk are all incorporated into their sound. Mobstability CD music contains a single disc with 14 songs.   ...See Full Description

GatewayPundit previously reported here and here on Common Core promoting pornography in the classroom. Another recent report comes to light from an outraged Louisiana parent of a fourth grader who was helping her 9-year-old son with a Common Core homework reading assignment.

ourth grade students in Vermilion Parish, La. were given a homework  assignment that included words like “Po Pimp” and “mobstaz,” but school officials said the worksheet was age appropriate based on an education website affiliated with Common Core education standards.

“I try to instill values in my son,” parent Brittney Badeaux told Fox News. “My goal is for him to ultimately to become a great man, a family man, a well-rounded man. And now my son wants to know what a pimp is.”

Badeaux was helping her 9-year-old son with his homework when she heard him say the words “Po Pimp” and “mobstaz.”

“I couldn’t believe it at first – hearing him read it to me,” she told Fox  News. “So I looked at the paper and read the entire article. It was filled with  Ebonics.”

The worksheet, obtained by Fox Radio affiliate KPEL provided contextual examples of the word “twist.” It included references to tornadoes and the 1950’s dance craze – the “Twist.”

But it also included a paragraph about “Twista” – a rapper with the group Speedknot Mobstaz who performs a single titled, “Po-Pimp.”

“It was really inappropriate for my child,” Badeaux said. “He doesn’t know what a pimp or mobster is.”

She also took issue with the school sending home a worksheet that intentionally misspelled words.

“I try to teach him morals and respect and to speak correctly,” she said. “It’s hard for a fourth grader to understand Ebonics when you’re trying to teach  him how to spell and write correctly.”

Vermilion Parish School Superintendent Jerome Puyau told Fox News the “po-pimp” assignment was aligned to a fourth grade English Language Arts standard for Common Core.

“Out of context, this word is inappropriate,” Puyau said. “However, within the Common Core standards, they do want us to discuss real world texts.” [...]

A Rethinking Schools article on the trouble with Common Core reminds us of the following:

States were coerced into adopting the Common Core by requirements attached to the federal Race to the Top grants and, later, the No Child Left Behind waivers. (This is one reason many conservative groups opposed to any federal role in education policy oppose the Common Core.)

If time permits, Karen Bracken gives an excellent presentation on the subversive Common Core threat to education at a Chattanooga Tea Party meeting held on April 18, 2013:
