Ludacris' Obama song

[Columbus]

Huh... wonder what his motivations are for supporting Obama?

"The first black president is destined and it's meant to be, the threats ain't phasin' (sp?) us, the nooses or the jokes, get off your a** black people, it's time to get out and vote. Paint the White House black and I'm sure that's got 'em terrified..."

Wow, what a politically educated person who is also calling Bush "mentally handicapped". Bravo Mr. Cris, bravo.

It appears to be Sabotage.

[JMTX]

Well I do think Bush is a touch mentally handicapped, lol

But so are a lot of rappers.

I'm laughing at this whole situation. People must be blind not to realize the true motivations behind this song.

To sell music.

This song did everything it was designed to do, it caused controversy, and it grabbed the media's attention. The more people say not to listen to it, the more people who will rush to hear it. The more the media talks about it, the more CD's Ludacris will sell. He was smart and he did an excellent job and he will make lots of money, which was of course his only goal.

X2 That, and to sabotage Barack Hussein Obama (not Osama)'s campaign.

Yet another community "hero" chimes in. Hillarious.

[Columbus]

I don't care what his intent was, I'm just offended by the song.

[LeanG]

If you're offended by this rap song, you should've heard my collection in the 90's...

[JTShooter]

Rappers (and to an extent, "rockers") have been doing this thing for a looooong time.

I might not like the lyrics, but this whole situation is stupid. Why pay attention to it? If you don't agree, don't listen/pay attention.

+1...

The Luda song was ok...

[Hoosier_Boy]

Christopher Bridges aka Ludacris is very intelligent with releasing this song. Like people said above... to him it's about MONEY, and he is making lots of it.

Kudos to Luda. I despise most rap music but he does have some good stuff.

[Columbus]

I guess I just get fed up with political ignorance but ok then...

[DaLAW]

Lol, the news media is taking time to report on a random rapper making a political 'diss'? Wow, its good to know the integrity of the industry remains pure. And, of course, that was sarcasm...

Lol, I'm surprised nobody in this thread has claimed Ludacris is a "black leader" yet...

[BigPat]

Obama is also briefly mentioned in the Three 6 Mafia song "Lolly"...

They don't really make a political statement, tehy just threw the mention in there to make it rhyme I guess.

Politicians and political figures have been mentioned, dissed, and praised in rap songs throughout the past 30 years. Is it really newsworthy now?
