Ludacris and His Big Mouth
Posted by Bossip Staff
Ludacris has received some heavy criticism over the lyrics of his new political track, “Politics: Obama is Here.” Unfortunately, Obama is catching some heat in the process:
Presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama has condemned an endorsement song from Ludacris, in which the Atlanta MC criticizes rivals Hillary Clinton and John McCain.
The song “Politics: Obama Is Here” contains celebratory bars on Obama’s success (“The first is destined and it’s meant to be”), but turns venomous when Obama’s rivals are addressed.
Ludacris references the bitter Democratic primary battle by stating “Hillary hated on you/So that b**ch is irrelevant.”
Regarding Republican nominee John McCain, the rapper rhymes:
“McCain don’t belong in ANY chair unless he’s paralyzed/ Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped/ Ball up all of his speeches and I throw ‘em like candy wrap.”
Through his campaign team, Senator Obama released a statement condemning the song as offensive and typical of much of Hip-Hop’s current lyrical content. “As Barack Obama has said many, many times in the past, rap lyrics today too often perpetuate misogyny, materialism, and degrading images that he doesn’t want his daughters or any children exposed to,” explained spokesman Bill Burton. “This song is not only outrageously offensive to Senator Clinton, Reverend Jackson, Senator McCain, and President Bush, it is offensive to all of us who are trying to raise our children with values we hold dear. While Ludacris is a talented individual he should be ashamed of these lyrics.”
The rap has also drawn the wrath of WomenCount, a new organization co-founded by former Rock The Vote President/political commentator Jehmu Greene.
“It is another example of hateful, sexist language being used on the campaign trail, and now is our moment to make it clear: not on our watch!” stated Rosemary Camposano, Communications Director, WomenCount PAC. “The leadership of both parties must step up to condemn such hateful speech and demand apologies. The Obama campaign has criticized the lyrics, but we call on the presumptive party nominee, who is the celebrated subject of the new song, to go even further: Publicly condemn the song. Demand an apology on behalf of the targets. Now.”
Given Obama’s ethics and integrity, this was not a smart move on Ludacris’ behalf, but we’re sure our man Barack will be able to weather the storm.

luda is a dumb as punk!
22nd!
Dayum, Luda!
LUDACRIS IS AN *****HOLE…HE HAS NO RIGHT TO DISRESPECT THAT WOMAN LIKE THAT, AND HE DOES NOT STOP WITH HILLARY HE USES IT ON BLACK WOMEN ALSO, HE’S A FOOL, A *****, I’M SO SICK OF THESE MEN WHO THINK THEY CAN DISRESPECT WOMEN.
AND IF BARACK WASN’T RUNNING WE WOULD ALL BE VOTING FOR HILLARY, I REMEMBER WHEN BLACKS LOVED HER, IT’S A COMPETITIVE GAME WHY HATE.
AUNTIE?!!! *CHECKIN AROUND…KNOWING SHE IS ON HER WAY*
WHAT UP EVERYBODY?
Though the song is true many rappers and people who speak out to the media have to be careful with their words, but rap is free speech. It was a smart move for Obama to condemn it because he’s not about this he’s more about change. I do agree with Luda’s rhyme though, but maybe he should’ve kept that on like an underground type thing.
AND WHAT HE SAID ABOUT MCCAIN IS WRONG ALSO, LUDACRIS BETTER BE CAREFUL HE MIGHT EAT THOSE WORDS..
Not a good look but FUN-TY as hell
Lady A….
You know Obama got it in his MP3 bangin’ it…like..
“YEah *nodding head* eff Hil…JM suck my d*ck”..
So why is bossip blockin some of my post…
OBAMA IS RIGHT…LUDA WENT A BIT TOO FAR…
dag luda…why you Barak-blockin?
why should obama have to make any comments in relation to a random rap song that happens to involve him??? just because we’re black we all know each other and we’re all in cahoots???
if he says anything he should say – “it’s america, we have freedom of speech. i don particularly like the song, but it’s not like i wrote it!”
this is racism. did mccain make a statement about the curious george/obama shirts? no- because he had nothing to do with it!
You know Obama got it in his MP3 bangin’ it…like..
“YEah *nodding head* eff Hil…JM suck my d*ck”..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HAHAHAHAH Nik…OMG!!!!
MONIN BOSSIP FOLK!!!
Lady A…I’m lovin that pic young lady….NU we in hurrrr!!!…Just..**dapz**
I love me some black people, but I hates me some NI##ERS! luda, you’s a NI##ER, for real.. Why you gonna wear some sh#t like dat to meet Barack…
Grow your stupit a$$ up and STFU you clown. Barack doen’t need your stupid a$$ song to help him. He is something you will never be, “EDUCATED”.
Educated: Knowing when to STFU..!!
:-/
LUDA WAS STR8 UP STOOPID FOR THIS SONG AND YALL KNOW IT!!!
Hiya WYZE!!!! *wavin*
Whewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww…
Now that that’s off my chest….
W*****ssssssssssssss Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup….
MORNING BOSSIP FOLK!!
LUDA IS SHORT AS HELL TOO WITH ALL THAT MOUTH
@ Ermy Erm(Check me out!)
LUDA WAS STR8 UP STOOPID FOR THIS SONG AND YALL KNOW IT!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
COSIGN…
Dat lil hatched head, slant eyed, 89% albino lookin MF…
Somebody need to whoop his monkey a$$…
I’m so ashamed of Luda on da realz though, he know better. We are trying to show the world we are NOT ignorant, and he just perpetuating it. It’s fine to have an opinion, but he shoulda kept it to himself instead of disparaging other ppl.
Damn Luda…almost had some respect for him….Big Boi’s song is much better….
i’m very surprised at luda. i thought he was becoming way more mature. same old, same old.
Erm…much luv…how are you today
When I first heard that song I knew it wasn’t going to be helpful at all. Someone in his circle should have known better. First, he should have been thinking commercially and especially since he was endorsed by Obama. He should have not used any cursing at all nor should he have disparaged Hillary. Though she caused a lot of bad blood during the primary, she’s endorsed Obama and has helped raised millions for his run–so she’s on our side now.
Politics is touchy at the moment. Though the song itself is soft in hip hop terms its still hard edge in the mainstream world. Luda should come out against his own song and claim that he actually recorded it during the primaries and doesn’t harbor any ill feelings towards Clinton.
He should also acknowledge McCain’s war hero status–before ripping into his wack policies. Just my political 2 cents.
IJM!! JUST SAYIN!! NIKKSTER!!
My coworker had just walked in and told me about this because I hadnt heard about it, and my whole opinion of Luda has changed. It’s just so danggone disrespectful to Barack
IJM….morning
I’m good Wyze, waiting for my work day to be ova quick fast and in a hurry
Isn’t there a saying that goes:
You can take the nicca out da hood, but he still a nicca.
You know Obama got it in his MP3 bangin’ it…like..
“YEah *nodding head* eff Hil…JM suck my d*ck”..
LMAO!!!!! Cosign 100%

———————————————–
i agree 100%. while i value the freedom of speech and think that censorship = death. he should know that what he says might jepardize obamas campaign since all the haters just looking for a reason to start some b.s.
We don’t need white folks to try to break Obama down. We are doing a fine job at doing it ourselves! If Luda wanted to make a political statement in a song, he should have showed some cl***** about it. Maybe Nas could him to write the next one.
No no no Bossip, Obama likes that song, he rocks it in his ride from time to time…he just can’t let ppl know….
…just kiddin’. But isn’t that was artists do, express their opinions? Why must Obama be underfire for this anyway? Did he call Luda and ask him to write this track?
Luda REALLY should have put more thought into his lyrics…he could’ve gotten his message across without being so disrespectful. and he ought to know Obama doesn’t stoop to the level of disrepecting folk…
This has been my fear since Barack started running…I KNEW they would look at everything every black man does from that point till the election to try and squeeze Obama for responsibility….and this goes to show that ones actions affects others even if you are not directly connected to those actions…every time a black man does something stupid they lean over to Obama and ask what’s up with your people?…..it makes them question whether or not they trust one of us to lead…which is all bull*****…but it is what it is….that’s why I try to represent on a whole ova notha….cause I know for every body that gets whatever impression i’m trying to put out….they understand that I cant be the only one that stand walk talk and act like a real man…..black people rise up…get some pride….handle your business …and lets make these moves…to hell with stayin low ..keepin it real….bein hood …and holdin it down…..up up up..let’s do this!!!
Re….morning!!
rich ppl just donate money and smile! stop messing it up for the brother! you mean well but they cant see that! http://www.girlfriendchurch.com
ERm…What it do what the business is?
Mr. Pro…you already know….
IJM…I HATE YOU
Re….He did…he was like…
“Luda…Chris what up Boi? Ay I need you to come back in the game man…go hard on them hoes….and rock a Ben Franklin tee in our photo op”….
Erm …yeah me too….2maree is payday
I wish people shut the hell up already and let this man get into office and THEN they can run they mouth. Some people are so ignorant to the fact that less is more, Obama don’t need you to speak on his behave if it’s going to negatively impact him or his opponents. They are looking for anything to block Obama from office and these idiots are making it easier for them to do it.
Wyzepro….goodmornin! One more day til Firday…
Nikki…lol, you’re silly!
By the way, gotta retract my statement above, I didn’t realize they’ve met before…
Mr. Pro…
Let me hold..and keep $17.38.
its just politics…that’s obama’s jam… he and luda were most likely laughing it up over the song while sippin on rum and *****e but we understand obama ::wink, wink::
i think these artist/rappers is taking this election for a joke – its the frist black man who might or might not become the president of america – and some people is taking way too far – its like a circus the way they are going about campaigning for obama – its just negeative energy comming from all across the board
Why does Obama has to be held responsible for what LUDACRIS said??? It’s freedom of speech. Come on!
So, Patrick Schwayze (or however this guy’s name is spelled) should be underfire because a bunch of rappers love referencing him in their music? I know Obama is a presidential candidate, so it’s on another level, but this is unessecary. Obama should NOT be *****ociated with everyone who speaks his name.
Unecessary, spell check.
Ludacris should know better..this is the only country where a black man is HELD responsible for another persons statements/actions/views..i am glad Obama addressed it, but with today’s media, he didn’t have much option! *****ers!
Thank You Bossip, for placing this info on the site. After I saw the foolishness on CNN last nite, I rushed to my computer to see if you guys had anything posted about this idiot azzhole Luda!!! I was rivid at this punk showing his ignorance and placing this garbage for the world to see. I was totally embarr*****ed and outraged!!! I only had to wonder if Luda is a sellout or Uncle Tom to put Obama in a situation such as this. Whatever he feels about the others he mentioned, could have waited until this election was over. Just like a typical loud mouth black person….always running their damn mouth at the f’g time!!!!!!!!!! If Obama loses this election, trust me….I’m placing some of the blame on this trick azz Ludacris!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont know what or when it will happen, but my gut is telling me there is gonna be an uprising and not a good one. All these ppl with negative remarks just need to sit back and let it do what it do.
When its your time to speak, do it with a vote. I mean free speech is cool, but be wise when you speak in a public arena where someone else can be disparaged for your remarks. Stop perpetuating the ignorance that so many ppl already think runs rampant in the black community. Show how educated and how far we have come as a society by respecting each other. Respect begets respect. Do unto others.
Now yall know if a white guy wrote a song about Obama ppl would be all up in arms and Luda probably would be the first one to be like OH HELL NA!
I find it ironic that his name describes his behavior…smh…Se la gare
This track was ment for RAP/HIP HOP fans. We understand lyrical imagery and can see meaning behind some lyrics. Exposing this to the world was a mistake cuz people gonna hate on this record.
NU….all i got is twenties….bring my change back
I think Obama is under fire for this because he was quoted in Rolling Stone Magazine as saying that Luda was a great talent.
Whether we agree or disagree with Luda, he has a right to express himself.
Besides, I’ve heard worse comments about Hillary Clinton on this site than luda’s lyrics. Let’s take a look at the archives and see some of our very own saying even worse about Clinton and McCain.
As I’ve said before: Obama supporters will cost him the election before his non-supporters will.
Obama is held responsible because just like Wyze said………
I KNEW they would look at everything every black man does from that point till the election to try and squeeze Obama for responsibility….and this goes to show that ones actions affects others even if you are not directly connected to those actions…every time a black man does something stupid they lean over to Obama and ask what’s up with your people?…..it makes them question whether or not they trust one of us to lead…which is all bull*****…but it is what it is….that’s why I try to represent on a whole ova notha….cause I know for every body that gets whatever impression i’m trying to put out….they understand that I cant be the only one that stand walk talk and act like a real man…..black people rise up…get some pride….handle your business …and lets make these moves…let’s do this!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
100% co sign Wyze
Obama is being held responsible by others because we live in a F’d up society as well
-Did anybody watch the Larry King Live show last night??
AS BAD AS GEORGE BUSH MIGHT BE , HE’S THE ONLY PRESIDENT THAT GAVE ME $500 WHEN HE WAS ELECTED AND I JUST GOT ANOTHER $600 WITH THAT STIMULUS MONEY NOW THAT HE’S LEAVING.LOL AND HE WAS THE ONLY PRESIDENT THAT HAD BLACKS IN HIS OFFICE, CONDI RICE…………..BUSH IS NOT SMART BUT AT LEAST I GOT SOME MONEY OUT OF HIM.. LOL
Mr. Pro….
Meet me on Stokes Ave. Thats halfway right? Oooohh better yet Cedar in Chagrin….
Thanks Wyzepro for the compliment.
I think the problem with what Luda said was for one it was very offensive and for Obama to have been seen with Luda and saying he likes Luda then yes they will *****ociate Luda with Obama saying is this what Obama really thinks when its not. If someone like Common, Blakthought, Talib, Mos Def, or even Nas did a similar song with the same subject line it would have been completey non offensive, stating facts or smart opinions rather than emotions, and *****ody would’ve had a problem. Luda’s delivery of this song was terrible with all the cursing and things. Perfect example of why they criticize hip hop so much today. I wish public enemy would come do a rhyme.
Damn, Luda, you think so SMALL.
you just gave Bill O’Reilly all the ammo he needs to show everyone how ignorant you are on his stupid show.
good job, jack*****

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
@dubya…..that may be true, but BOSSIPERS are not recording artists and nothing we said is being put under Media scrutiny. Free speech is a beautiful thing, but when it hinders the very one you are *trying* to support it backfires.
Luda should have kept that on the inner brain tip or amongst friends, but no, he had to put it out for the m*****es to hear. Obama probably at home like damn ppl! Let it do what it do! STOP TRYING TO HELP ME! LOL
WHILE LUDA SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY CAREFUL AT THIS POINT IN TIME ESPECIALLY REGARDING HIS LYRICS, THE MEDIA/POLITICIANS AND WHOEVER ELSE, WILL STRIVE TO GIVE OBAMA A HARD TIME ABOUT ANYTHING THEY CAN. UNFORTUNATELY, LUDA IS THE ***** IN THIS PARTICULAR GAME THIS TIME. IT JUST PROVES THE COUNTRY THAT WE LIVE IN STILL HAS ITS GLITCHES. LUDACRIS IS HIS OWN MAN, OBAMA IS IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT LUDA CHOOSES TO SAY. OBAMA DIDNT HOLD LUDA DOWN WITH A BUTTER KNIFE AND TELL LUDA TO CALL HILLARY A *****. IT’S JUST THAT AT THIS CRITICAL STATE, WITH A BLACK MAN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, AND HAVING GOTTEN THIS FAR WITH SOOOOOOOOO MANY SUPPORTERS, THEY WILL TRY TO THROW NEGATIVE LIGHT ON HIM ANY WAY THEY CAN.
IJM, Just Sayin’….
Goodmorning!
Freedom of expression is just that–a FREEDOM. Just because Obama is running a campaign does not negate that.
While you all are going to bat for Obama, when has he gone to bat for you. By you I mean us, African Americans. He has 95% of our vote but we are the only group he has yet to cater to. He can give speeches in countries that can’t even vote, but he can’t take out time to speak at a state of the black union address. He’s made specific and unique promises to Hispanics, Gays, Jews, Working Cl***** whites where are ours? There are unique issues that we as african americans should hold obama to.
it’s time me and my brothers put an end to this perpetual adolesence we seem to be stuck in….aka Grow up and be a Man!! let’s put a lot of the childish foolishness behind us and set a new standard….
HEY RE, BREE, WYZEPRO, NU (I TOLD YOU), ERMY, JUST SAYIN’

Triple co-sign to both of your words of wisdom.
This isn’t a game. This isn’t a fantasy. This is real. As for someone in Luda’s circle knowing better… all I gotta say is, it depends on who’s in his circle. Ahem.
What up SxyQ
Ermy Erm:
This is a public blog and could very well be used as an example of how black people think. I’ve seen bossip mentioned on right-wing blogs often when they discuss the black mindset when it comes to this election.
Wuttup IJM!!!
I’m gonna sum a few things up for those that don’t know, for those that know, yal can take a smoke break for somethin…
It’s just like when you were a child and went out with your parents to the store.
What did they say? Huh… Yal know what I’m talkin about!
When we get out here don’t be showin your *****, and you better act like you got some dam sense! You hear me… If not when we get home I gonna whip yo *****.. Now lets go…
It’s the same thing here. Barak is representin us, leading da way like a parent. He don’t need no nappy headed piccaninnie, so called rapper showin his a$$ while we out in public.
Believe me when I tell you that we are in public, the whole world is lookin to us to slay da dragon. They know our history and our struggle even if they don’t want to acknowledge it.
The Black Woman and Black Man are the most powerful, envied and feared people on the face of the earth!
Who said the words Free Speach? FREE SPEACH..!
Free speech my black s$$. It’s free is you not livin from paycheck to paycheck, it’s free when you makin da laws, it’s free when we make it free.
The problem is to many people are too dam stupid to realize it.
If you think there is free speech then go into your bosses office and tell him what you really think of him. You don’t even have to be angry or yellin. When you finish talkin you will see how much it will COST you for your free speech!
Go to the drug dealer standing on the corner and tell him to stop sellin drugs in your hood. See how much it will COST you for your free speech.
Speech ain’t even free if you are talkin to yourself and then it can still COST you. People will think yo a$$ is crazy.
THINK… Back in da day you could be the richest black person in the world, but you better not try to stay at a white’s only hotel… You’d get the ole, “Your money isn’t any good here”.
Free Speech can’t be purchased, it can’t be won, you can’t steal it and no one will give it to you.
The price of Free Speech is “Respect and Power”.
Could be @ dubya
My question is why are the *****ociating everything with Obama? I mean the song was written and made by Chris Bridges. Obama wasn’t in the studio laying stuff down on the track. Obama doesn’t seem to have any dirt they can dig up on him so unfortunately for him it seems like guilt by *****ociation. The quickest way to bring yourself down is the have people who support you do it for you. Just shut up and let this all play out. Obama got this….he don’t need our “help”.
Hell…there are plenty of us angry for the way the media is hating on Obama and some of the foul BS they allow to come out of there mouths…we sit and look and go what the F!!! But let’s not give the media and any other Obama haters the reason to throw this man under the bus!! At the end of the day, Luda one would think is a person who should know better!!! His dumb azz is in the SOUTH and if he lives on another planet or something hasn’t his retarded azz not seen how much our race has had to overcome and still overcome to even be considered a Man or a Woman!! We are always having to prove ourselves in one arena or another in this is no different. It is what it is and Luda was wrong!!!!
Just because we are not famous does not mean that our words do not hold weight. This may be just a blog but you better believe that McCain, Clinton, and Obama handlers scour these blogs to get a glimpse into the view of the black mindset.

@IM JUST ME
HEY MOMMA!!! THEY ROASTIN OUR MAN
Yep could be @ dubya
HEY JUST SAYIN!!
Dubya they problem that they would have using this site is that they don’t know accurately who’s black and who’s white. They can only *****ume based on pictures that may not even be of the person behind the screen. Trust their are kkk blog sites that talk about when they wanna kill blacks, gay websites that hate straight people and straight websites that commint hate crimes against gays. Who wants to really take the time to detect servers?
WOW THOSE PEOPLE MITE TURN AROUND AND VOTE FOR,THAT OTHER CAT BECAUSE, HE MADE THEM EVEN
MORE SCARED,,HOPE WE DONT GET THE SHOCK OF OUR LIVES,,AND SAD THING ABOUT IT IS THE BOTTOM LINE IS THEY DONT WONT A BLACK MAN IN THERE IN THE FIRST
PLACE,,WHERE I LIVE YOU SHOULD SEE THE LOOK’S I GET EVEYTIME THEY SEE A BLACK FACE THEY THINK OF HIM BECOMEING PRESEDENT,,BUT THEN AGAIN THERE IS ALOT THAT DO WONT HIM LUDA,,,,NO MAN NO..NOT THE WAY TO GO,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
i disagree…..this blog while black oriented…does not PROVE that the posters/commenters are of african decent..hell I see people frontin in here all the time that are NOT black….so you can NOT take a few post from a site just cause it’s geared towards african americans and say that may represent how most or even some of them think…of all the millions of Black people in the world…bossip sure only has a few ..and they represent themselves and their own thoughts…hell half of us joke and dont take most of this serious…so I cant understand that any more than I would take a news reporters story and translate that into that must be how all white people think….kinda ludacris…aint it?…( pun intended)

Freedom of expression is just that–a FREEDOM. Just because Obama is running a campaign does not negate that.===================
And Barack has the freedom NOT to *****ociate himself with speech which is ultimately detrimental to the Bigger Picture. Barack did Luda a service, he big upped him. I understand what Luda was trying to do, he was trying to compliment him, rap style, because Luda was proud of Barack name-checking him as one of his favorite rappers to the world. But Luda had to up his game specifically because of that.
Luda could not claim on his song that he’s Barack’s favorite rapper — Luda could not name the song after Barack himself — and then talk sh*t about how Hillary is a b*tch and John McCain needs to be paralyzed. This is the time for some ‘backpack’ rap or definitely some ‘conscious’ rap. He has to look out for Barack as well as himself.
@ Ermy Erm, I hear you.
@ Ddub, you wrote, “Luda should come out against his own song and claim that he actually recorded it during the primaries and doesn’t harbor any ill feelings towards Clinton.
He should also acknowledge McCain’s war hero status–before ripping into his wack policies. Just my political 2 cents.”
I hear you on that, too. That might not be a bad idea on how to finesse this issue so that it doesn’t continue to hurt Barack and it doesn’t hurt Ludacris. Or something similar to it without lying about when he wrote it.

Just Sayin,
I like the way you put that.
G’Morning IJM!
JUST SAYIN blogger you just summed everything up in your post at 9:15!!! some of us just don’t get it and it saddens me as a black person!! Also, TOTALLY agree with what you said about “I love me some black people but I hate me some *****s” A friend and I have this discussion all the time about prejudice towards our race because of the ignorant foolish acts they pull like crackheads!!

I feel like p*****ing da plate after that one…
But it’s a black website and touts itself as such. Regardless of the color of the posters, the image of bossip is black and it will be treated as such when it comes to handlers wanting a glimpse into the black mindset.
By the way–I really like your new avatar! You look great!
Luda is right, F that B Hilary. I am glad she is fading into the background where she belongs. *****ody wants you or your husband in office anymore, they are DIRTY. McCain LOL. I can do nothing but laugh at him, he is the republicans chance, that is just pitiful which is exactly the state of there party. Republicans we are through with you and your party is also. Obama had to say this or else he would loose votes.
I BELIEVE THAT LUDA HAD THE RIGHT TO SAY WHAT HE CHOSE TO SAY, AS DOES EVERYONE ELSE. HOWEVER, IT WAS THE TIMING IN WHICH HE CHOSE TO SAY IT, THAT CAUSED THE REAL ISSUE. YOU SEE WE STAND BEHIND INDIVIDUALS WHEN THEY SAY WHAT WE WISH WE COULD SAY OPENLY. BUT DO TO THE FACT THAT WE DO LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE THEY DO NOT WISH TO SEE A BLACK MAN RUNNING IT, ANYTHING *****OCIATED WITH HIS BLACKNESS, COULD THROW HEAT ON HIM. THATS JUST HOW THEY PLAY. I’M SURE LUDA DIDNT THINK THAT IT WOULD DO MAJOR DAMAGE, HENCE THE REASON WHY WE MUST THINK BEFORE WE SPEAK. BUT HOW MANY TIMES HAVE SOME OF YOU SAID SOMETHING, AND THAT ONE SENTENCE CAUSED A RAWKUS OF CONFUSION, AND THEN YOU WISH YOU COULD REEL IT BACK? NOT BECAUSE YOU DIDNT MEAN IT, BUT BECAUSE IT WAS 1) BAD TIMING OR 2) THE CAUSE OF CONFUSION AT THAT TIME. ALL LUDA DID WAS SAY WHAT ALOT OF YOU WERE THINKING, AND SAYING IN YOUR VERY OWN HOMES. HE JUST PICKED BAD TIMING..(CONSIDERING THE POSITION HE HOLDS, AND BEING ABLE TO VOICE HIS OPINION TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN VIA THE HIP HOP M*****ES) IF A WHITE PERSON WHOULD HAVE DONE IT, CALLED HILLARY A *****, THEY WOULDNT BE POINTING AT OBAMA. THEY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE FOUND IT COMICAL.
Just Sayin….zactly ..well said…mind ya manners and ya p’s and q’s…..which by the way stands for pints and quarts…used by irish/scottish/english bar keeps when the drinking crowd got a lil rowdy they would often yell okay every body mind your pints and quarts..obvious drinking measures…which over the years has been shortened to p’s and q’s and means nothing of the sort….just some random knowledge to move the day along and show that we know a lil something… V dueces V

Oh now everyone’s ganging up on luda. He was just saying the same ***** that most of the retards including the bossip staff say on here on the regular. I wonder what Barack would have to say about the brainless posts and comments left on this site.
His intentions were good, but he gets a C for effort. I think its important that many of todays artist take an active role in politics, to show their support and help make a difference in the country. However, after the whole Jeremiah Wright thing, he should’ve known better. Please wait until the man gets in office before we start blasting his opponents because he will be the one held most accountable for other people’s actions. It only hurts his campaign. Its just common sense.
Nita:
Did I say to the contrary? No, I did not. Of course Obama has the right to break ties. I personally would if his words might hinder my campaign but Luda has an equal right to express himself and should not censor himself for the sake of a political election.
Obama is getting flack because he recently named Luda as an great artist.
LOL Wyze…. that was cute…thank you for that lesson
I am sure Luda’s intensions were in the best interest of Obama…he was showing him some support; but ironically it was opposite of that!
You have to understand that these people are looking for even specks of dust to put on Obama since they can’t find any dirt! so you have to be careful in what you do and say…
Obviously Obama doesn’t have to do anything for them to get at him… his supporters are the ones who ***** up…SMH
Why, Luda, WHY?!
@YOU *&%#’S TO LAZY TO MAKE UP ISSHH THEY CRAZY, THEY DONT PAINT PICTURES THEY JUST TRACE ME(sxyQblondie)
anyone typing in ALL CAPS is automatically an idiot.
I read your post…. and it is confirmed. you are an idiot.
Learn the rules before you comment on the game. Polls are too close for undisciplined retards to monkey it up.
there is no certain way to capsulize the black experience..cnn couldn’t do it in two days…roots could not do it in two weeks bet has never been able to do it…we are too vast and great to section off into compact lil descriptions and every time someone tries to define us we refine and redefine….then do it again…..rinse..repeat…so no…bossip doesn’t even come close to reppin the people…they rep the kind of people that Bossip are and that’s all…makes sense doesn’t it?
Man yall are a bunch of hypocritical people. Whatever Luda said, y’all were all yelling the same thing. Read the Hillary or McCain posts. Ludacris is not a politician, he’s a rapper and can say whatever the heck he wants. Plenty of people were defending Lil Wayne (not all of you, but some posters who are now saying how messed up Luda is did agree) when he talked rowdy about Jesse. So what’s the damn difference. I agree with whoever said Barack did not have to comment. That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. That’s what you get when you want rappers to be our leaders. The don’t know much just speak from feelings, and that’s their right. We did not elect them and should not hold them accountable for the personal viewpoints. Now I could see if Obama had this song as his anthem at his rally’s but he doesn’t. So stop buying into the propoganda people. Damn.
The very notion that we are discussing this is ridiculous. Saturday Night Live does “political skits” repeatedly and I’ve never heard one politician questioned about it.
All of the “political pundits” out there and they don’t have to “denounce” any of it. What media oultet “reported” this as a “news story?”

Hi. I clicked on your ‘check me out’ to score your post with a 5, but it won’t let me. Is anyone else having this problem?
@jjj-
Yeah, the supporters have not been helpful to ANY of the candidates during this process. Everyone is coming out “speaking their minds” and getting their candidate in trouble.
Can they PLLLLEEEESSSSEEEE
NIKKI,
I’m here as you correctly predicted, and when I heard this last night, I was shocked at my boo-boo Luda. I wish he had been more tactful in his verses. He does have the right to say what he wants to say, and Obama has the right not to co-sign.
Luda can ALWAYS still get it though…
Hi sxyQblondie!!
@Just Sayin
Believe me when I tell you that we are in public, the whole world is lookin to us to slay da dragon. They know our history and our struggle even if they don’t want to acknowledge it.

Hi, Lou. The difference is that:
a) Jesse was a hypocrite who talked b.s. about burying the n-word, and extorting good money out of people for uttering the word — then turning around and using it against Barack when he thought no one was listening (while stupid *ss Julian Bonds just nodded his head);
b) Jesse did not big up Weezy by claiming that Weezy was on his iPod.
c) Weezy wasn’t attempting to big-up Jesse and boost Jesse up; Weezy was condemning Jesse.
Meanwhile,
a) Obama is trying to run a ‘different’ campaign, and called out blacks as well as whites in his famous speech on race this past spring,
b) Obama big upped Luda (among a couple others) by saying Luda was on his iPod and that he liked Luda’s music
c) Luda was trying to prop Obama up, street style. Obama is not trying to be president of the Streets, though, and if he were, he’d end up just like Dave Chappelle’s Wall-Street-to-Bum-on-the-Street character in that infamous ‘when keeping it real goes wrong’ sketch.
Luda should have handled the song differently. This is a learning experience. That’s all.
@SHARPTONS PERM…WOWWWWW
AND HERE WE GO AGAIN WITH THE BULL ISH EARLY IN THE A.M…….
AS THIS IS A BLOG, AND EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OPINION, AND FREE TO STATE SUCH. JUST AS I HAVE DONE, AND INTEND TO CONTINUE DOING. WHAT HUMORS ME IN YOUR RESPONSE TO MY COMMENT IS THE FACT THAT YOU DID NOT COME AT ME “INTELLIGENTLY” WITH ANY POINTS TO SUPPORT YOUR CLAIM OF NOT AGREEING WITH ME. NO. YOU CHOSE NAME CALLING AND ADDRESSING THE FACT THAT I TYPE IN CAPS. HMMMMMMMM. *****UMING THAT IT IS OBVIOUS THAT YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TO SUPPORT AN ARGUMENT THAT YOU OBVIOUSLY DO NOT HAVE, THEN THERE IS NO NEED FOR ME TO GO BACK AND FORTH WITH YOU. CALL ME THE IDIOT, BUT YOU LACK ANYTHING WITTY TO SAY YOURSELF THERE BUDDY. HA HAA, SHARPTONS PERM HUH? I DIGRESS.
@ SxyQ
They need to roast him. He isn’t on his A-game right now. He should have known better. You ain’t give him none this week? He got some of that ABM/ AGNIAM Syndrome happening. Maybe he needs some quality time with you. I am out of the count this week.
this is what you call a Good Deed, Gone Wrong… Im sure Luda meant well, but sometimes we should Think EXTRA HARD before we speak!!!
Politics is all about public relations, and Luda knows full well the power of PR. SHoot, have you ever seen him do a “Stay in school” Public Service Announcement? It would hurt his image, would he ever come out and say Hip Hop is unfair to women and gays, it would hurt his stature as a hip-hop artist.
With that being said he knew exactly what he was doing, a J. Wright move. Please black celebrities, if you’re checking this blog, don’t represent for Obama unless you plan to say something intelligent and do it articulately…(Beyowulf, Weezy, MJB, Flava Flav et al.)
@IM JUST ME
GIRL, HE RUNNING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, I CANT CATCH UP WITH HIM. HE TOLD ME HE LOVES US BOTH, BUT HIS TIME IS OFF. IF I COULD JUST GET HIM TO SIT DOWN AND RELAX. GIVE ME SOME TIPS GIRL, IM RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS!!(lol)
I dont think saturday night live ( which is obviously farce and comedy) has anything to do with affecting obama one way or the other as on a whole we’ve come to expect that from them….not to mention that they are not owned and run by black people…so they have nothing to do with the conversation…Luda is a black man…obviously ( as seen in the pic of them smiling) has a “RELATIONSHIP” with the man of some sort….and his song is not comedy….it’s one thing and not the other….if we are all running the same race for the same team..why would you trip me?…THAT is what we are all saying…nothing more…Luda is a very public figure and to be honest…the white candidates do the exact same distancing/denouncing act when one of their people eff up and come out of pocket…you sayin Barack cant do what they do?
@SHARPTONS PERM
ONE OTHER THING BEFORE I CHOOSE TO MOVE ALONG, IN REGARDS TO YOUR COMMENT…
Polls are too close for undisciplined retards to monkey it up.
IF YOU WOULD HAVE READ MY COMMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY, THEN YOU WOULD HAVE REALIZED THAT IN SO MANY WORDS I WAS SAYING THE SAME THING. HE SAID IT AT THE WRONG TIME, WITH OBAMA BEING THIS CLOSE. SO BEFORE I LEARN THE SO CALLED “RULES” PERHAPS YOU SHOULD LEARN THE ART OF “COMPREHENSION” BEFORE ADDRESSING ANY OF MY COMMENTS.
THANK YOU
@ SxyQ
Do the appetizer with you as the main course. Run to his hotel in the trenchcoat girl. Something because he is putting a whole lotta foot in his mouth now and I love him and we cannot be representing a foolish man. So i will lure him to the east coast and send you his info….you pounce from there, okay?
BILL O’RILEY WILL HAVE A FIELD DAY WITH THIS ONE…I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH WHAT LUDA SAID IT’S JUST THE TIMING IS WRONG.
@IM JUST ME
OKAY MOMMA, I GOT YOU. IF ALL ELSE FAILS, I’LL BLACKMAIL HIM WITH THESE PHOTOS THAT I HAVE, HE KNOWS WHAT ITS ABOUT!!!(LMAO)

@ meleemel
Thanks…
I traveled to Mexico city and was amazed at how much they love BLACK people. They know our struggle and everything we went through to be where we are today. We just have to continue to educate, protect and nurture our youth.
Most of all we have to re-establish our roots and keep Black Mothers and Fathers at home being role models.
Things we need to bring back:
Prayer in the Home
( This is were everything starts, if I can’t find a Bible within 5 minutes of entering your front door then something wrong )
Attending Church on Sunday
( No explanation needed )
Self Discipline
( We now what we need to do, we just need to do it )
Doing something KIND for someone we don’t know
( It gives your life more purpose and makes your rest so much sweeter )
Telling people we LOVE them
( This is why our young people turn to da dragon, they want to be loved )
Caring for our elderly ( invite them over for a meal or just to talk )
Sticking together ( ask your neighbor if they need anything from the store, cut their gr***** while doing your own )
( the next time it snows in your area, look out our window and see how many people just shovel their own part of the sidewalk )
Family dinners every day of the week.
( I don’t care if you are just eating corn flakes, we gonna be some corn flake eat together people )
Family outtings
( Get on the bus (drive) and go to the park, you don’t need much (a blanket, some water, book, bat and ball, snack )
Reading Stories to Children
( They will love you for it )
I’m sure yal can add a few to the list…
@ YOU *&%#’S TO LAZY TO MAKE UP ISSHH THEY CRAZY, THEY DONT PAINT PICTURES THEY JUST TRACE ME(sxyQblondie)
Hey…. Good Mornink…
@IJM and sxyQblondie,
I willfully offer to “punish” Luda (sexually) when he’s in my neck o’ the woods….
besides…dont be up in here actin like we cant “check” our own people….it’s what we’re supposed to do anyway…dont mean luda banned from being black….or that we dont like the brotha…just an ill advised move on his part to connect Barack with his negative energy at this moment….had the song came out next year we’d all be nodding in agreement..but let the man get in office first….then turn the motha out….priorities people….co orrrrdinate your *****
Barack has no need to defend himself against this bs. Luda is not in his camp, he is not his man. He said he likes his music. I didn’t hear Bush distancing himself from the Dixie Chics when they got in trouble for their thoughts on the war. And he had also said that he was a fan of their music. You know what he did? Ignored it. I know, I know. He already had the presidency, but my point remains. Artists and musicians are entitled to their opinion, and entitled to voice it how they see fit. I ain’t mad at Luda. He stated his opinion. He didn’t do it on Faux News, but in a song. That’s his job.
Alright Aunt viv
It ain’t lunch time yet….
Good morning Just Sayin’,
Preachin’ as usual I see here my brotha…
hey SXYQ.. morning ma… dayum girl, you can’t shake em’ off?… how are you this mornin’?
@AUNT VIV
NOW YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I RELEASE HIM FROM HIS RESPONSIBILITIES AROUND HERE.(LOL)
@JUST SAYIN
GOOD MORNING YOU, I SEE YOU IN HERE SPITTING YOUR JEWELS OF KNOWLEDGE.(SMILE)
Luda didn’t do a damn thing wrong. If I was Obama I wish a nucca would ask me some dumb ***** ***** like they did.
I know you have to be “presidential” in your response but sometimes a good offense is a good defense.
@NEW2THIS
HEY GIRL. I GUESS THEY LOVE ME EVERYDAY, AND EVERYDAY THEY LOVE ME(LMFAO)
This is the sort of ish you get when rappers start believing they are the new leaders of the black race.
@ Re is NOT feeling this J-O-B.
Hey……………..
I love my people but there’s something wrong with us!! We feel an overt need to be “politically correct” on all issues but in reality, we’re extremely hypocritical. There is NOTHING wrong with Ludacris’ song. He’s a rapper and he exercised free speech. Why do we feel the need to justify every action of every black person when no other ethnic group accepts that responsibility? We’re on a continuous mission to appease everyone (with the exception of each other) and we’re always “worried” about someone else perception of our actions. It’s pitiful. White commentators/journalists, televangelists, and rock groups make offensive statements that can be considered degrading but all whites do not accept the responsibility to be accountable for their words and will oftentimes, dismiss it as freedom of expression. Why can’t we?
@ Lady Architect
Thanks…
Obama is running for the US, not the just the hood. On that note, I hear luda and everyone’s freedom of speech but.shhhuuutttuuup,….until he actually wins. its not like a Black prez happens all the time.
people dont realize, when America (THE WHOLE) thinks of luda, they see him as beefing with Oprah about disrespecting women and the guy who got banned for lyrics by pepsi. nothing else.
Lou in the Chi,
I agree with you on the Bush thing, but like you said he already had the office. On top of that he was a white man against gay marriage which to me is the real reason(stupid reason) he was granted a second term. Anyways it’s harder for Barack because he has to win not only black, but white voters too who are still up in the air about things. Public Enemy spoke a lot about politics, but their delivery was crazy which makes them the living legends they are. The did it in a respectful manner speaking facts and opening people’s eyes. Ludacris is just complaining and cursing people out mostly. Not a good way to deliver.
McCains camp is trying to hit him with the dumbest stuff imaginable because they have no other footing in the condemnation. I mean they just compared the man to Brittney and Paris. Said he’s being too presumptious by *****uming he’ll win the presidency. If the worst they have to say is “he’s too popular” or “he’s too presidential” then he needs to keep doing what he’s doing and ignore the bs. Don’t let them pull him in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks for droppin da knowledge on da fam…
I’m gonna remember that one…
Luda just needs to do like Halle, wear a T-shirt to show your support and help people get registered. Hand out some literature in neighborhoods and offer some volunteer buses for people that are too far away from voting areas. That’s a good way to use his stardom for help. He needs to make sure he votes too.
ATTN: ALL BLACK PEOPLE WITH ANY TYPE OF PLATFORM (BIG OR SMALL)
SHUT THE HELL UP UNTIL OBAMA IS ELECTED!!!!!!!
SHUT THE HELL UP–NO IGNORANT SONGS, CRAZY SPEECHS, BELIGERENT PRESS CONFERENCES, OVER HEARD FOOLISHNESS…JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!
KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!!!!
the next person to see Ludacris out the street…just yell at his dumb ***** SHUT THE HELL UP! over and over again…don’t get pounced by his bodygaurds though, lol.

LMAOOOOOOOOOO@ Sarah……

What the hell was he thinking!
@Lady Arc
I so hear you, but…Obama is just playing into stereotypes. Ludacris does not speak for his campaign. He can say what he pleases. I could see if he was at the DNC rapping these lyrics, that would be a problem. But he’s doing what he gets paid to do. I mean if he came out with a four minute long song about taking a crap I don’t thing Obama would feel the need to address it just because he’s stated that he likes his music(well maybe just to say how ‘crappy’ the song is). Ignore him.
Senator Obama is not responsible for every action of every Black in America, and I hope one day HE realizes this. He has had to denounce so many people since he’s been running for the POTUS but why has Senator McCain not performed the same action. It’s simple, you have to display some level of loyalty. Senator McCain didn’t formally denounce Senator Gramm for his comments about Americans being “whiners”. Senator McCain did not denounce Pastor Hagee for his comments or Rod Parsley. Senator McCain really ignores the comments and keep forging ahead with his negative campaigning and that’s what most “white” american respects. Senator Obama should not have even addressed Ludacris comments. It’s a non-issue to him and Senator McCain has repeatedly stated you can’t control all of your supporters actions.
Why do silly ***** negroes like this do things that they have to know will cause trouble for Obama?
Nita, I’m from the South. The point highlighted with the statement is NOT ignorance of southerners. As I went on to say in the blog was the history of our race….. be it from living in the South and really anywhere when you think of it. It seems that some believe some rappers with ignorance, speak for our race and they don’t speak for me with ignorance. There is a way to do everything and especially to get your opinion across in a more tactful way. For those of you, who agree with what Luda had to rap about go ahead and bump this at your cubicle or work station because I’m sure 9 times out of 10 you work for the Man and don’t own your own or even if you have a job to go to with the state of our economy. So, let’s get it done FIRST before running off at the mouth.
@ Just Say!!
HOW ARE YOU 2day?
Well, personally I think everyone has a right to voice their opinions.
If you don’t like it, don’t listen. I don’t understand how one person’s thoughts and opinions can affect everyone like this.
The election is coming up and people are more concerned about what someone said in a song?
@ Just..no doubt fam…each one reach one then teach one…just trying to support what we both seem to stand for….
* shakin my head* yeah they ARE concerned when it could cost us our first shot at a black president…HELLOOOOOOO???
Amen Wyze
keep in mind we are not just talking about random average happenings in the hood…this is a historical tipping point for the entire nation and the world at large…so yeah…lil stuff like that counts for something …cause if he doesn’t make it because of that it would be more than a shame it would be tragedy…
I can act a fool on here sometimes, but that’s just to throw em off da scent… Dis slave bees on da road to be FREE, Debt Free.
Sarah…u r so very right….it’s like when you go to church as a kid…you may not understand why you need to but sit down and shut up till it’s over!!!…..you’ll be richly rewarded for your actions in the end….play the game and dont let the game play you ….
sorry but since when do people vote based on song lyrics? Ludacris got the right 2 rhyme about what ever he wants. Hilary is a *****, Mcain does need 2 sit his old ***** down in a wheel chair. Bush is a *****get. So what? Freedom of speech, this is some dixie chix ***** bull*****. People can say what they want quit hatin
@SxyQ,
I hear ya lady. man, i was DISAPPOINTED last night.. watching Larry King Live.. did ya’ll see the campaigne ad that Mccain put out, comparing Obama to Paris Hilton and Brittany Spears? yeah, that had me *****ed.. that was a low blow.. i am sure that ya’ll been speaking on it, but these posts are too long to read, lol, so i just skim through them
@WyzePro
No, Ludacris and any other person comments won’t COST us our first shot at a Black President. What will cost you if you’re not in the community registering voters and getting people out to vote on election day. Now, that will cost you an election. I work as an Election Official and I volunteer with Senator Obama’s campaign in GA and there are a MULTITUDE of us that’s not registered to vote (in this day and age). Therefore, don’t be naive to think comments by supporters will cost you an entire election. However, if OUR PEOPLE don’t get out and vote, you’ll be surprised by the outcome. The last primary we had in July in GA, Republicans outnumbered Democrat votes overwhelmingly and they did not have any critical battles on the ballot, and they STILL voted…
@ WyzePro(Check me out!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That’s what I’m talkin about…
People DONT vote based on song lyrics …they WONT vote based on silly ***** antics and negative energy/press/attention…so the song aint wrong…it’s just not right….not right now…we dont hate the song or what he’s saying…we’re saying damn chill out for you mess it up for everybody…if you think it’s only about the song you are not looking deep enough at the pic…keep staring…you’ll get it sooner or later…
why is this such a big deal? Luda just stating whats on his mind. The question i have to ask is how did they even hear this mixtape?? Guess we have some Luda fans in the government now lol
but really, the are much much worse things out there such as: the cover of the new yorker mag., fox news claiming the obama and his wife did a “terrorrist pound”, etc. Then Luda comes out with one lil rap verse and everyone wants to bring in kids n ***** COME ON!!!!
I guess u cant b black and say what u want in this country, i hope they dont send luda to jail over a lil rap verse.

Spoken lke a true ignoramus. That move was unprofessional and to release something like that BEFORE the brother is even in office almosts leads me to believe that Republicans has Luda on their payroll. White people’s children bring that garbage into their home and those who are against a black man becoming leader of the world will use it as ammuntion. Free speech? Maybe, just remember that anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of public opinion. Why sway it in THEIR favor?
Now before you type a rebuttal, please ….. think.
Sepiastar..I agree somewhat about the registering….but let’s face it…of the people that ARE registered…and perhaps undecided…this can affect your decision one the Bill O’Reilly’s of the world get done mashing and twisting it into something it’s not….this is what you call a stumbling block…let me explain…as it was once broken down for me….as a church going person..it may not be wrong to go into a bar…you may have to use the bathroom or use the payphone and not in there for the libation ( drinking ) however a “new” church going member may “see” you go into the bar and wonder about your actions and question the doctrines cause they are not yet strong in their belief….first persons innocent action..causes the second person to stumble because they are still very influence-able and as such most people in the “upper” position should take care not to “cause” the wrong impression lest they lost the newbie to confusion ……let’s not be a stumbling block …feel me?

You must be a white woman as well as delusional b/c black people never liked Hillary Clinton. It was always Bill Clinton that we liked. That’s the problem with some people, they feel just b/c we like and supported Bill Clinton, that we should like and support his wife also. They are two totally different people and should be treated as such…..I also wish that music would just be kept out of politics b/c it causes too many unnecessary problems.

_____________________________________________________
If votters would use would Ludacris has to say, someone who has no affliation with the candidate, against Barack then they had no intention of voting for him anyway. This is a ruse. And many Americans are dumb enough to buy into it. Obama’s running a practically flawless campaign and this is the only bs they can use against him. And guess what we’re buying right into it. What does this have to do with the issues. Obama needs to stay focused on the issues and he can’t loose. Playing into this bs just gives McCain people a chance to say “I told you so”. If he were going to reply he should have said, “He’s free to voice his opinions this is America. And that’s the beauty of America, you have dissenting views over everything from the war to the economy to the war on terror. And these are the dissenting views that I have from McCain regarding those issue…” Or something along those lines.
@Mr. Anderson
The bottom line is no one will be swayed by a supporter’s lyrics. I have no problem with Ludacris lyrics and I won’t categorize him as an ignoramus for speaking whatever he chooses. As I stated earlier, what will cost you if you’re not in the community registering voters and getting people out to vote on election day. Now, that will cost you THE election!
i’m on the fence with this
in a way he is just saying what alot of black people think anyway

@mrslaadee FOR YOUR INFORMATION I’M BLACK AND YES BLACK PEOPLE DID LIKE HILLARY ESPECIALLY NEWYORKERS….I’M FROM NEWYORK.
I ain’t a defector I just think obama is gettin played out. Everytime the ***** takes a ***** suddently it’s a huge story. It’s too much pressure for one man 2 bear. Beinga presidential hopeful is stressful enough, then to add the additional scrutiny he’s enduring, it just ain’t right

this was one of the reasons she won NYC in the primaries
You all can say whatever you want about it…I’ll bet Cash Money that Luda feels bad about this now and is trying hard to come up with something to counter the backlash…I know he didn’t want that to happen he was just bein luda….I’d be surprised if he said nothing at all about it cause he strikes me as a thinker and someone that has a elevated mind state….sometimes we can mistakenly trip up a situation in our exhuberance…
Why is a Presidential candidate paying attention to a hip-hop song?
Obama 08…But I understand your opinion thats your M.O. to hate on *****s… you not feelin me?
Fine; it cost you nothin – pay me no mind
@Strong Black Man
You seem to be very adept at stereotypes. Are you insinuating Ludacris is uneducated because he’s a rapper? I would hope you know otherwise!!
Hang in there Obama! I knew stuff like this would happen. I think all black people need to agree and hold our mouths until the man gets in office
AND ALL YOU BLACKS DOWNING HILLARY WILL FEEL STUPID WHEN BARACK PUTS HER AS HIS VP..
I don’t think this will hurt Obama, because so many people are starting to ACKNOWLEDGE the difference between N!ggas and Black people. I believe people outside the Black community only see us in extremes. You have the upstanding families like the Huxtables and the Evans family, but what they see as reality are the people on the news, mugshots printed in newspapers, etc.
We (Blacks) aren’t covered as favorably in the media as whites. Leaf through your local paper one morning and read in the business section. They’ll print a picture of a white businessperson over a black one. But go to the Metro/Crime section, they’ll print a picture of a black mugshot more than a white one. I had to do a study on this in high school and we researched the names appearing in 5 articles from every section. there were several black names mentioned in the Arts and Business sections, but only 1 out of 10 pictures would be a black person. But when we went into the crime section, most of the names were white, but they only printed the black/Latino criminals’ pictures.
I do believe some people see blacks in a positive light, but unfortunately, we’ve let the media/pop culture define us in a negative light. It’s up to us to change how we’re perceived in the media. I had a former cl*****mate from J-school say she never knew there were so many black political pundits/correspondents until this election. What’s sad is many of them have been involved for decades, but could never get a lot of camera time until Obama was nominated.
So while I do agree Ludacris has the freedom of speech, hence allowing him to make this song, let’s get the MSM to focus more on Roland Martin, Donna Brazile, Jamaal Simmons, even the conservative black pundits who may be Republicans. They need to see us on all sides of the political spectrum, not just sum us up through a rap song.
One fish, two fish, red fish…blue fish…
It doesn’t matter if Luda is right. Steve Harvey just sumed it up at the closing of his show. Every week Obama has to address some stupid ***** comments made by celebrity black men. It’s bring negative attention to his campaign. That right wing media is enough to deal with. I can’t believe Luda didn’t have one intelligent person around him to tell him it was a stupid ***** ideal for the song to come out now.
AND THEY SAY BLACK WOMEN DON’T SUPPORT BLACK MEN. OBAMA HAS NOT HAD TO DEAL WITH ONE IGNORANT BLACK WOMAN YET. HELL EVEN REPUBLICAN SHERYL UNDERWOOD IS IN HIS CORNER.
Lol no one cares about Ludacris especially white people…He’s an uneducated rapper in their eyes. A thug, A trouble-maker…This is much to do about nothin

As I stated earlier, what will cost you if you’re not in the community registering voters and getting people out to vote on election day. Now, that will cost you THE election!”
Barack the vote no doubt! But I stand by my contention: if you have a voice that can reach millions, use your power wisely. DO NOT FUEL THE ANTI OBAMA PROPAGANDA MACHINE.

I am so dissapointed in Ludacris for this. He should know that John McCain’s camp is looking for anything and everything to tarnish Barack’s image. This was absolutely unnecessary. I feel that he did this song only to put himself in the spotlight rather than help Barack Obama. Does he have a record coming out or something? I am sure he could have thought of another way to positively contribute to Barack’s campaign.

Luda reminds me of those dudes with shotguns and Batman masks calling themselves “helping” Batman. Batman was *****ed: “I DON’T NEED YOUR HELP!!”
This ties in 2 y I didn’t sign Nas’ petition against Faux News. Faux has freedom of the press the way Ludacris has freedom of speech…regardless of how vile we may think their opinions r.
That being said, I have 2 agree with the person who said that Obama’s supporters may cost him this election quicker than his opponents. This includes everyone from that Pastor from his ex-church, 2 Bernie Mac telling a misogynistic joke at an Obama function, right on over to Luda. The way this country is…the actions of 1 black person IS NOT treated as an isolated incident.
I can c Barack now, listening 2 Luda’s joint an popping Motrin like it was crack.

You see…….. A main….. gotts ta know his limitations… and when nots to be FOOLISH…
Yal turn to Proverbs 10:23, and read wit me. It says-a…. “It is a sport to a FOOL to do mischief; but a man of understanding hath wisdom. (can you hear da crown reading aloud)
Yal ain’t hear me … It says….It is SPORT to a FOOL to do mischief…., Mmmm Hmmmm… Well……… Now I ain’t callin no names but, yal know who I’m talking bout… I’m just gonna say two words, DIRTY DIRTY…
Yal ain’t hear me… Ya see… a fool can’t see beyond their own nose. Just like a fart gotts ta stink, a FOOL gotts ta be FOOLISH… Yal ain’t hear me…

Let’s read on…(crowd reads aloud) , BUT a MAN of UNDERSTANDING hath WISDOM… Dem some powerful word…

I don’t know what yal reading, but when I reads it, it says BARAK… Yal must have dat NIV version, I needs yall ta open up ya KING JAMES VERSION if you want da truth…
It goes on to use the word U N D E R S T A N D I N G…. So the man… must be educated… Last I heard, BARAK is EDUCATED… Have mercy… and he HATH WISDOM… He has WISDOM enough to get away from FOOLS that do MISCHIEF…

I understand your sentiments but the anti-Obama propaganda machine will be in full force REGARDLESS. When does Senator Obama take a stance like Senator McCain and disregard the supporter comments? If anything, what level of principles does this show to Americans, that we’ll denounce any and everyone for your approval. What will you do when you become POTUS and someone that supported you makes disparaging comments? Senator McCain appears nonchalant towards his supporters actions or antics. He doesn’t host press conferences and address every single remark/comment that they make and people respect that. Visit the huffingtonpost.com. The Nation is sending Senator Obama an open letter and asking for signatures concerning their *****umption that he is not standing firm on his principles. I don’t see one posting about Ludacris lyrics…

Lol, I’ve seen Dark Knight and I know EXACTLY what you’re referencing here…good *****ogy.
Okay, I have to admit that Ludacris was a favorite of mine, not so much for his rapping but for his acting and his charitable activities. I had concluded, wrongly perhaps, that there was a bit of wisdom behind the harsh rap lyrics.
But this song is problematic for me. Sure, Luda has freedom of speech, as we all do, but adults we are expected to make wise decisions on how we use that freedom. In this case, Luda did not.
Unfortunately, this action of his behalf diminishes him in my eyes. I’m sure there are others who esteem him more because of what he did.
Nita pointed out in an earlier post the Barack gave Luda a “big up” when he proclaimed in Rolling Stone that Luda was on his iPod. Well, Luda paid him back with a “slap down.”
I wish I had some idea what Luda was thinking when he recorded this song. I’m afraid he was only thinking dollars.
Say it ain’t so.
@Just Saying…
…judging by your speech, I’m going to have to out you out of the closet: Barack Obama, is that you?
Ludacris is a talented/creative rapper…unfortunately his discernment about “what” to say and “how” to say lacks…you can’t be “hood” in everything…he can “roll out” with that.

This makes absolutely no sense. The lyrics are so non-inclusive. In order to support Barack Obama you must be all-inclusive and g rated. This is exactly what racist americans expect from a black president and luda is perpetuating that image. What was Obama to do.. say . Yoooo that’s what’s up my ni#$a? I mean give me a break. Black people are much more intelligent than that.. and there is no way that luda coudl have honestly believed that that song would HELP.. Grow up luda.. u really let me down this time.. he is MUCH too smart for that.

Obama always disowns his followers AFTER they have done something to embar***** him instead of telling them to cool it before the fact. It took him 20 years to hear what his preacher had top say, I’m surprised that he heard Ludacris so early in the game

whoops, got caught trying to edit myself.
@ Lady Architect
“Though the song is true”
I do agree with Luda’s rhyme though”
———————————————–
@ Lou in the Chi
I so hear you, but…Obama is just playing into stereotypes. Ludacris does not speak for his campaign. He can say what he pleases. I could see if he was at the DNC rapping these lyrics, that would be a problem. But he’s doing what he gets paid to do. I mean if he came out with a four minute long song about taking a crap I don’t thing Obama would feel the need to address it Ignore him.
—————————————————
Although Ludacris has every right to say what he feels (Freedom of Speech)I couldn’t disagree more. If you truly believe Hillary Clinton is now irrelevant simply because she “Hated” on Barack you know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about POLITICS. She did exactly what she was supposed to do. Hillary, as the rest of them were, was campaigning to become a nominee for President Of The United States, it wasn’t a *****ing “RAP BEEF”. I’m pretty sure Barack expected it, and he held is own. Haven’t you ever heard the expression, “Alls fair in Love And War And Politics.
To even remotely believe that Ludacris saying “The only chair McCain belongs in is a WHEELCHAIR”, is either true or acceptable, shows that you have yet to mature Mentally/Psychologically, that statement is extremely childish at the least and completely offensive at best.
Do you even no why Barack addressed the issue?. Maybe he was asked to. As far as I’m concerned he did the right thing by distancing himself from the song. He was also right for distancing himself from Reverend Wright.
He is now in a position where EVERYTHING IS FAIR GAME. As unfortunate and uncomfortable as it may be for himself and his constituency his ENTIRE EXISTENCE is going to come into question. As it should. He is now running for what may very well be the most Powerful Position on this Planet. Like I said before I’m pretty sure this is what he expects and is hopefully more than prepared to handle ON HIS OWN.
*****uming he does become President,I truly believe he should take Martin Luther King’s Dream to the HIGHEST LEVEL. His PRESIDENCY should be about INCLUSION and not “Preferential Treatment” and ACCOMPLISH what no other President has ever done, MOVE THIS ENTIRE NATION FORWARD AS A COLLECTIVE WHOLE. Not as it stands today, a FRAGMENTED SOCIETY STILL HOLDING ON TO THE PAST. By OPENLY , HONESTLY and SINCERELY addressing the issues that still PLAGUE American Society today.
This may possibly be the reason he addressed the song. To set an EXAMPLE of what THIS COUNTRY NEEDS TO BE MOVING AWAY FROM INSTEAD OF TOWARDS.
Last but NOT LEAST I TRULY HOPE HE’S ABLE TO SUSTAIN WHAT APPEARS TO BE HIS VISION OF WHERE THIS COUNTRY SHOULD BE HEADED AND NOT COW TOW TO THOSE WITH SHORT SIDED VIEWS OF THIS COUNTRY AND THE WORLD.

Luda should know from the whole PEPSI thing that they would be on his ***** about this! He should have come more insightful and tactful. Whether he thinks so or not he represents for a generation and culture. Luda’s making moves in business and if he wants to get political he has to have a better strategy than the obvious. Looking for shock value while sending a message? Do something *****ody would expect…Obama’s relevence ONLY should have been the topic. Keep the focus on him. State your opinion postive and strong. Luda went out sounding like the typical rapper and the media and politicians are waiting for that…he fed them!

University of Missouri is very competitive, and I felt the professors were too uptight, but I’m sure that’s why they were one of the top ranked J-schools in the country.
talk about crabs in a barrel? a big SHAME ON YOU for each of you trash talking pillow stash.
Um, Luda is just saying what everyone is thinking. And its called freedom of speech. geeze
Man Luda…that was a low blow. Obama has a point. I like how he spoke against it though. He said that Ludacris is talented but uses poor choices of words. At least he’s not condemning Luda but just his lyrics.
Um, Luda is just saying what everyone is thinking. And its called freedom of speech. geeze, another thing to take our minds off of whats really going on. Seriously.

Syke! Okay, if anyone asks, you’re officially my bossip spouse.
PLEASE PEOPLE, Luda said some ***** that a lot of folks think about the whole situation, so stop frontin. The problem with this is how some dumb ***** people would link to Obama and said that Obama had something to do with it, or this that if Obama became president he would paint the White House Black or something. It’s more on other people’s ignorance than Luda’s expression He said what he meant, most of it is on point.
By the way did you know a BLACK WOMAN was running for president AND I believe she would make a far better president that Barack. We need real change and you’ll see when I tell you Barack ain’t no different. Remember that.
Damn Luda, “whatchu hadda go an do dat fuh, huh”!!!LOL!
LMAO @ one lion calling obama a house *****
oh snap RE…I was just about to ask your ring size…guess it’s back to the pond for me….( all I got was a rock!!)
LMAO. I knew as soon as I heard it and there was the usual Obama backlash that Bossip would weigh in on it. Fact is, some of Obama’s supporters are just gonna make it hard on him to win the damn thing. Hate to use the “it is what it is” cliche but I think it applies here. Republicans are loving this kind of ish.

The difference with Mccain’s supporters is that when they gaffe in public, they r treated as “individuals”. Mccain, there4 doesn’t have 2 address these “individual” idiots. When an Obama supporter gaffes… especially a black 1, we r all considered as a monolith and in cahoots with each other, whether right or wrong. Barack has an added problem because earlier, he gave props 2 Ludacris 4 being talented. Now if he doesn’t speak against what Luda said, then he is seen, rightly or wrongly, as co-signing. In short, Mccain has white privelege – Obama does not.

Perhaps your definition of “social commentator” and “teacher” is too narrow.
Everyone who is saying, “Luda is just saying what everyone is thinking, and the whole freedom of speech thing; no! Ludacris should think more like a professional and less like a typical rapper. Just because you have the RIGHT to say ignorant ***** on a record, in a magazine, in an interview, etc., does not neccessarily mean you should. Know when things are better left unsaid, regardless of whether or not thats what you think in your head. Ludacris put Obama in an awkward position that I’m sure he didn’t want to have to address, and he also compromised his campaign and what Obama stands for, not even considering this man has a wife and 2 daughters, and he calls another female a “*****”? Come on now Luda, you’re smarter than this…

Luda always has written song with derogatory lyics againt women and these chicken head girls love him… not to mention he’s gay u guys know that right? I think that why a lot of these guys bad mouth women so much because they hate them probably from long stem hate they have toward their mothers.
there was once a time when Obama would’ve Killed for ludacris to spit some ***** like this in a rhyme, just so he could get the press. Now he’s 2 hollywood? Fame done blown this *****s dome up. Obama bring back something for the hood *****!
Good Morning All,
I have a few comments about this whole ordeal…..
we have to remember that this is all an opinion. We may not like it but we essentially cannot govern over everyones mouth to stop them from voicing their opinion. Its unfortunate that an anchor on FOX news did not get this much heat for calling him (Obama) Osama or the fact that it was stated that the fist pound that Obama and his wife do are some sort terroristic gesture or that on the front of the “New Yorker” there was a cartoon character of Obama with a turban on…… I understand that alot of ppl are offended from the remarks in song that Luda has made but lets keep in mind that this is happening on both sides. I am not condoning his opinion( and I use that term strongly) but he has a right to state it. Alot of the comments are harsh to the other parties, but whether we like it these things are going to happen..
“there was once a time when Obama would’ve Killed for ludacris to spit some ***** like this in a rhyme, just so he could get the press. Now he’s 2 hollywood? Fame done blown this *****s dome up. Obama bring back something for the hood *****!”

If ive said it once, I’ll say it a thousand times!
Barack stay away from these sh*tty a*s deep south rappers!
First TI wants to jump on the Barack bandwagon and the n*gga’s a convicted gun felon, Now ludagris releases this stupid a*s rap song insulting white rivals and Barack has to go on TV and distance himself…………..
This is the type of sh*t that FOX news loves to report and since they have the highest ratings its broadcast into damn near every white household in America.
Barack wont lose the election, these damn ignorant deep south “Bama, Yessuh masta” rappers are gonna hand the sh*t to McCain!
Like I said, build a wall around the deep south just until the election is over.
Yeah ludacris shouldn’t have put that out there but to be honest he’s just speaking his mind and I agree Hilary was a b$%ch when she was still in the running but I have to ask why does what luda say effect obama just because luda raps about something he’s speaking for himself not for Obama so I don’t think it should affect him at all….
Anyway w*****up Z how you doing?
STRONG BLACK MAN
Apparently bossip doesn’t want me to send you a message so I will post in the Jennifer Hudson thread…
Furthermore, Obama is not disputing his talents, only his ability to keep his mouth shut when what he is rapping about doesn’t have anything to do with what he’s about.
The difference is. we expect white folks to try to tarnish his image..We don’t need our OWN people being idiots.
Watch 2 weeks before the election they are going to film the most ignorant nappiest mississippians and ask them
“what does Obama winning mean to you”
They will say something completely crazy, like “Ah man my *****s will get parole for that triple murder he did back in 1988″
As black people we must keep things IN-HOUSE. The problem is we have no Home and the “Home” we trying to build gets decorated with the tacky uneducated and uninformed. Not to mention “The Hate”…lol thats why you do your own thing.
http://www.pillowstash.com
I’m willing to bet that most black people who are upset about Ludacris, are upset not because his words were utterly reprehisible, but because they feel it may hurt Obama. Which is sad. I wonder if there would have been such a strong reaction from Black folk, if Obama were white? Hmmmmmmmm.
It is stuff like this that make a lot of the “old schoolers” nervous about p*****ing the baton. In the world of Hip Hop, where calling a woman a b*tch is “normal”, is not reality in the rest of the world. If you can’t stay concious of what “world” you are in, the rest of the world will not take you seriously. The same thing is true for NAS. NAS was standing in front of the FOX Network World Headquarters, surrounded by the mainstream media, addressing a serious topic, and his pants were sagging below his butt and he couldn’t get through his statement without using profanity. The next day Fox took him to task and made him irrelevant to the viewers of FOX News.
The old saying is when in Rome, do as the Romans do. If you want to get your message out or you want the world to hear you, sometimes you have to “leave the hood” and meet the audience where they are. In MOST OF THE WORLD, sagging is not normal. Calling women b*tches is not normal. Calling each other n*gga in front of the world, is not normal. And not being able to complete a sentence without using profanity, is not normal.
If anything, this all just re-inforces the negative stereotypes about Hip Hop and rappers, and ultimately reflects negatively on black people.
By the way, as each day goes on I am finding myself less and less likely to vote for Obama. This crazy allegiance to that man is SCARING the hell out of me. Like I said before, the only reason black folk are so upset with Luda is because they feel it may hurt Obama. When the real reason should be because his lyrics were so disrespectful.
I think those who think Obama is going to win based upon black folk voting for him, is living in a dreamworld. It’s the independent voters and the Hillary supporters, many of whom like myself, are still bitter. And actions like a nationally known supporter of Obama, calling her a b*tch, is not going to win many over to Obama’s side. Someone here said, Obama supporters are going to be the reason behind him not getting elected, and I totally agree.
If obama loses I’ll be disgusted, but it’ll be all y’all black *****es that talked all this obama *****, then when the election came got blunted and said ***** it. Be real 80% of y’all *****s ain’t never voted and ain’t registered.
Hello everyone!
Sometimes you need a ***** in the house to help the *****s in the field…..
As far as I’m concern these rappers have been making the blk community look bad for over 22 yrs with that gangsta crap. We blk ppl love ppl like Obama and Oprah and I would like to see more blks in the limelight and bury the nigg__rs. We all aren’t ignorant hoodrats or drug dealers it’s time for blk to shine and leave nigs behind. We are being stereotype because of the images out there and yes it dumb put many ppl believe what they see on tv and we dont need them repping us anymore enough is enough… Obama 08.
damn you people are harsh

You know Obama got it in his MP3 bangin’ it…like..

Seems like Luda is riding Obama’s coat tails on this track. I dont see how this is any different than the whole swiftboat thing of 2004.
at least Nas’ “Black President” didnt attack any canidates and actually expressed why he supported obama. Ludas song is just name droppin for album sales
Mcain is always goin nothin but *****in negative, so who cares? that paris n brittney *****, implying that obama is a muslim, and therefore a terrorist. Mcain is a *****get I woulda dissed his *****ty ***** harder. His wife is hooked on O.C’s and *****in xanax. Pure *****in *****get
Man, I just don’t care
Perhaps your definition of “social commentator” and “teacher” is too narrow.
________________________________________________
U may b right, but my idea of rapper(s) as social commentator(s) r people like: Public Enemy (back when Flav had some semblance of a conscience), Talib Kweli, Common, Tribe, Digable Planets, KRS-1, etc. NOT some rapper who can’t move past the same tired ciches…
But again, u might b right.
Ive spoken to my progressive educated friends, we’ve decided that if Obama loses in Novenber, The east/west/south pacific black people are gonna start a civil war with deep south n*ggas, The first to go will be every record company in MISS, ARK, GA, FLA and ALA, we saved Alabama for last because we wanna torture them *****’s!
After we’ve captured every ignorant a*s deep south rapper and his CEO, we’re gonna have the first slave auction in 153 years right here in Honolulu, the Gov. aint gonna care, we’re barely even considered one of the 50 states, besides by the time they find out most of these n*ggas will have been sold.
So take this as a warning, the next nursery rhyme sayin’ mush mouth, knucle draggin’ deep south rapper that threatens Barack’s destiny? You’ll have a price to pay!

@velvetj
You know in some ways I agree with you and in some ways I don’t. Unfortunately you are right that the song by Luda will reflect poorly on Obama, Rap, and blacks (in that order). The question is “should it?” I think we both agree that it should not.
I’m sure most people are fully aware of the phrase “Don’t kill the messenger.” If people were to only adhere to people based on appearance there would have been no Ghandi and thus no Martin Luther King. What about Che Guevera, Malcolm X (who was criticized for his goatee), Mother Theresa etc.
I’m a realist as well as an idealist. I understand that people are human and will pay attention to someone’s appearance/speech/etc. But, I still realize that the message is the important thing, not where it comes from or “how it looks”…

I BET 90% of the black ppl don’t know….not only do I bet, I GUARANTEE!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with Obama. It’s VERY hard for me to accept these rap lyrics. I love our people and I love their talent, but I feel they can use the same beats and rap about something positive. Why do the lyrics have to be nasty, degrading and disrespectful? I think “ARE WE CRAZY” talking about ourselves, like that. But rap music is promoted by the country. And I feel, personally, as yet another way to hold us down, keep us back and in our place – lowest on the totem pole. You know when our own men start disrespecting us – then the whole world will CONTINUE to disrespect our women and our race as a whole – sooner or later. Even if Obama doesn’t become President – but I think he will – he is speaking something that Black men should take heed. He didn’t talk about your Mommy in a disrespecting way – he said protect and love your Mommy, as well as your kids and your family. What’s wrong with that? That’s what we as black people, in this country in particular, are lacking from years of oppression. Like I always say – EDUCATE your own Black children. People can take that in any way they want and run with it. I taught my Son to respect his ancestors and elders, recognize AND KNOW where you came from and you’ll always know where you are going. And most of all KEEP it POSITIVE and I’m happy to say, as a young man who is a GREAT father to his daughter, he DOES.
Wheres my friend SMDH? i have a surprise for her!

@ Justine,
Have you lost your f*ckin’ mind? Im voting for Barack because he’s the only one who will pull the troops out of Iraq, he’s the only one who will tax these major profits that the oil companies are making right now (look at today’s news, exxon just made the most money they’ve ever made in one quarter period) I travel and you’d be surprised how many people hate the US right now, Barack will try and bring the luster back to this nation, people are starving right now and Bush doesnt give a sh*t, McCain says we could be in Iraq for another 100 years!
Justine he’s a democrate I dont care what he does it better than a war loving republician. I don’t care if Mrs. Clinton won Dem is what I vote for no matter what color they are. And he we bring chance to the way the world looks at America what will Mccain do. um keep the rich richer and the poor down.
either you’re the one sellin the dope or you’re the one buyin it
VelvetJ…..I agree with you. We are our worst enemies. We think that cursing and demeaning Black woman is the norm or cool. It shows nothing except that we have no pride and very little cl*****. It saddens me that Blacks under 35 have very little sense of what those who fought for equality stood for. They ask for respect and the right to be heard yet they say nothing of any worth. Nas, Luacris and other militant ignorant gangsta rappers, along with thier supporters…..get real and get some sense.
The world consists of more than the foolishness they want to be heard. If you want to improve education, get your children and the other children you see hanging in the street to school. Attend the PTA meetings and become involved in the school activities. You want to stop crime, stop looking the other way when Pookie brings home $200 tennis shoes you didn’t buy or friends that you know he shouldn’t be hanging with. When 12 year old Shayla leaves home dressed like the hood-rat hooker ***** her little behind back in the house and take those clothes off her and put her in something respectable. Don’t fall in line with the foolishness Luda and his cronies spew because they are the reason the Black youth are as lost as they are now.

There are going to be 4 times as many whites (read republicans) voting against him for that very reason as well!!
If I was a known republican i would pull a Niccolò Machiavelli and fake my own death to reemerge as ANYTHING ELSE. I claim allegiance to Al-Quida than the republicans. They have been more successful in harming America.
Obama should only say one thing in his speech and that should rap it up “I’M NOT A REPUBLICAN!!”
You cant even guarantee that sh*t!
If Barrack was in the streets he would get no love…But Luda is “that *****”
Our whole existence since 1965 has been a *****ing joke. We have let FILTH and yes your FAMILY MEMBERS CAN BE FILTH! We have let FILTH, bamboozle and swindle us…Rappers are idiots..If you ever hear them in interviews they always say ”

@ 6amhogetout
Ok Ok thats good to hear. I agree with you…I saw a mccain commercial saying that barack wants to bring more taxes and use more forgein oil….but the most important is that we can bring the troops home eventually..Im glad you’ve been doing your homework
I’ll say one thing about this whole Obama craze, it has definitely brought the fair weatherness out of most of you *****s. All of sudden, some of you are now decrying rap music; Prior to that, you’re preaching the evils of the Clintons; That you never trusted or liked Jesse Jackson, and true to form, some of the thug worshippin’ sistas are still pledging their carnal allegeance to Ludacris after releasing another one of his stupid limericks with a beat…And then you wonder why the truly enlightened feels that you *****s are not ready for prime time.
It was only a matter of time until a molato ruled the world. I’m glad 2 see the black community is so supportive.
Barack Obama a gr***** root movement that is not going to stop until it reaches the presidency ! And by the way ….. Being open to setting a time table to get the troops out, asking black fathers to step up, taxing the rich too as well as the middle cl*****, has made it clear he wants to do somethings about health coverage for all ….. yep this is one black person that knows what Barack wants to not only do for us ! BUT THE COUNTRY !
Im sorry….but I hear ppl alll the time say I dont care what he does I just want a black man as our President…it really *****es me off and makes us look reeeally bad…I just wish everyone not just the select few would really look into what Obama can do..
If you not making money online in 2020, your an idiot..go back to school and get a degree in a computer specialization

let me guess you’re into techno music and molly cyrus. *****get ***** *****. Rappers r the top of food chain. Matter of fact who is Obama to be speaking on Luda? Luda’s been hot for damn near 10 years, Obama is just starting up his 15 minutes, stay in your lane obams, you don’t want it with established *****s. Don’t bite the *****in hand that feeds you obama.
@ILLUMINATITHEPRINCE.. I have good credit and drive a 07 Trailblazer(not a bid deal but its mine) and all my bills are always paid on time, get your own crap before u talk about what ur woman got and she’s dumb as hell if she has all that and is with a man who can’t even speak in sentences.( she might be a stripper or hooker so who knows how she got it) Materialthings are just that save ur money and acquire wealth stop talk about what someone got who probably lives check to check. I never stand up for white ppl and I wish our community to come together as one and get the nigs in jail were they belong and keep blk men with their children and raise them but far too many brothas ( not all u guys because a lot of ur are good men) don’t want that they’ll rather do 5-10yrs for selling drugs and tearing down their own community, or dream their going to be the next big rapper/producer because they’re to lazy to read a few books.

If someone said that about your mother what would you feel? Do you care about women at all? You are obviously not religous in any way because anyone with a conscious or a soul would approve of any woman (Black/White/Chinese, etc) being called out of her name. You are disgrace to the human race.
We disrespect people for no reason. What has that woman done to you? I bet you call any woman out of their nmae if they P*** you off don’t you? You probably curse your mamma if she messes with you too bad. What would you do if you heard someone on the street refer to your mother or sister or any female you care and respect (if there is one) as a b**** or a w****?

Ludacris is ,apparently, a bigot and Vile . He called Hillary a B#TCH , wished John McCain to become permantely sick , and wants obama to call the white house the black house
@ tracie
2 b real wit chu my moms ran off years ago. N I don’t really give a ***** if I called hillary a *****. She’s only on because she took bills ***** for 30 years. If she wasn’t a package deal with Bill *****ody would give a ***** about her. She’s *****in 4 votes.
It’s wonderful to see we can engage in some level of political exchange but how many of you are volunteering to *****ist Senator Obama’s campaign and HAVE YOU DONATED to the campaign?
Now, we truly understand everyone wants to take part in this historical, revolutionary election. However, all rappers “please” do not mess this up, at the same time do not allow your white record producers and executives to allow you to mess this up for Obama.
Records such as the Gospel song “Never would have made it” indiscretionaly speaks about Obama and all our ancestors that have pave the way for us as people to be where we are today, is an example of uplifting lyrics.
Can we please wait until he actually makes it in the “White House” to make rap songs like the one Ludacris made.
Vote OBama Vote Obama Vote Obama,,,,,,,,,,YES WE CAN!
@ tracie
truth is my mom ran out years ago. You wanna call her a ***** that’s on u. I don’t really care, hillary is only on because she took bills ***** for 30 years. People only want her because she would have bill there to help, it’s the closest they can come to voting for bill clinton again.
@ILLUMINATITHEPRINCE.. I’ve heard that before and I think it really does teach ppl a lot of about life and gives helps u with math but my point selling crap to ur own ppl is why I hate drugs dealers I understand why they do, and it’s they’re parents fault imo, and yes I know if you/they don’t sell it to them another man would. It’s a good thing u got out of the life and was smart enough to ivest but look at the harm u did maybe it doesn’t matter to u because u got material things out of it but I hope you teach ur children to do much more with their lifes.
its sickening b/c every single black person (thats registered and knows how to vote) will vote for Barak. NOT for what he really stands for but simply b/c he’s black….black people kill me…supporting someone just b/c he’s half black….ASK YOURSELF WHAT WILL OBAMA DO FOR YOU? I BET 90% of the black ppl don’t know….not only do I bet, I GUARANTEE!!!!!!!!!!!
*****************************************************
What will McCain do for us or how do you suppose we vote for?..If Barack was white and looked like Brad Pitt and had the same accolades receiving 90% of our vote no one would question the black vote..Most black people are voting PARTY more than race, and *****uming that 90% of black people are uninformed and just voting for race, sad..Some are voting for race and that’s completely their right to do so just as some McCain supporters are doing the same thing so what’s your point.

my true Love.I have found my match on this site, ————uniformedcupid.com———- It was an instant connection for women seeking
handsome and charming rich men.Good luck to all who are looking for true and real love, I am blessed.
Obama is a tool for the New World Order to minimize the threat of rebellion and chaos. Don’t forget the elections are FAKE competition. He’s already dumbed down America so that when the dollar dissolves and becomes the Amero, he’s already a trusted leader with the poor and “educated”. Then he will begin the North American Union(Canada/Mexico/US). He’ll shut down Africa for the African Union because he’s half Kenyan. He’s shut Europe down. He’s p*****ed the international tests and you dummies are worried about Ludacris. How about worrying what you’re gonna do about that Chip you’re gonna REQUEST and BEG them to put in your damn foreheads.
and wants obama to call the white house the black house

@ more 2u
no I agree with most of what you’re saying. I don’t think it was good what i did. I saw peoples lives destroyed and a lot of people close to me suffer. People get killed and *****ody including the police care because it’s drug related. I don’t think the dope game is a good thing at all. But you gotta c it from the dboys perspective, It’s too hard for them 2 survive with the nepatism that the corprate world is built on and most of them could never go 2 college and p*****. So I mean it’s that or starve, I think hustlin is better than suffering.

Stop the non-sense..It has nothing to do with the internet..*****s can’t rap!
Can some of you please stop with the “Please don’t say anything until he’s elected” statements. Blacks are not monolithic, one-dimensional individuals. Ludacris and any other rapper/entertainer can make any statements they choose – FREE SPEECH.
Such as I stated earlier, if you want Senator Obama to win, donate and volunteer in the campaign. Stop sitting on the sidelines watching the festivities!
So frustrating. Shut the HELL UP Ludacris… Ludacris like he even knows how to spell president. These buffoons are going to ruin it. The Republican base is depressed but dumb sh*t like this will get them motivated real fast. What would even make you think “I should boast about Obama like I did something” he talking bout pardons and everything SHUT UP! Damn! Stupid ***** people…

Curious…there are soooo many denouncing Luda’s lyrics in here yet there seems to be a select group of ‘educated’ blacks who think that we all agree with what he says. Thus all the black bashing by these same black folks. It seems rather retarded to blame Black women AGAIN for the words of two grown up Black men, but yet somehow the ‘educated’ have found a way to do it.
The educated may need to seek psychological help for their apparent deep seeded hatred for Black women based on their own trifling BLACK mother….
@velvetj
You know in some ways I agree with you and in some ways I don’t. Unfortunately you are right that the song by Luda will reflect poorly on Obama, Rap, and blacks (in that order). The question is “should it?” I think we both agree that it should not.
I’m sure most people are fully aware of the phrase “Don’t kill the messenger.” If people were to only adhere to people based on appearance there would have been no Ghandi and thus no Martin Luther King. What about Che Guevera, Malcolm X (who was criticized for his goatee), Mother Theresa etc.
I’m a realist as well as an idealist. I understand that people are human and will pay attention to someone’s appearance/speech/etc. But, I still realize that the message is the important thing, not where it comes from or “how it looks”…
_____________________________________________________
@ Man, I just don’t care,
You are absolutely right, I agree with you that Ludacris’ actions should not reflect on Obama, Rap, and Black people, but I have noticed that the older I get the less idealistic I am and the more realistic I’ve become. And the REALITY of the situation is, it will indeed reflect on all three whether it should or not. In fact, Fox News has already been making sure it reflects because they have been having a field day with this Ludacris situation.
Regarding the appearance element, I understand what you are saying completely, however I stand by my belief in that showing up at a press conference to discuss THAT particular issue on a world stage, and you are sagging and using profanity? Naw bruh. If Obama showed up at the Democratic National Convention, sagging and using profanity, shouldn’t the only thing that matters be his words and his message? Of course. But the REALITY is if he wants the nation to take him seriously, he had better not show up sagging or using profanity to get his message out.
I suppose I’m also approaching it from a personal standpoint as well, because if I’m speaking to someone and they begin to yell at me or disrespect me, I tune them out. Even on this website, if someone responds to one of my posts and they call me out of my name, I INSTANTLY stop reading. I feel the same holds true for many of those who can’t seem to know when certain things are appropriate. I don’t believe people take them seriously when dealing with certain issues.

Obama is sooooo smart that he wants us to inflate our tires and get our tune-ups so we don’t have to drill gas. That’s fine until he shot off his mouth and said that it would save as much gas as drilling.
I thought that Bush is stupid until I heard Obama speak. Obama is from Havard and he sounds this stupid. What makes you think that I listen to a last-decade rapper?

Nothing wrong with being a realist, but if we forget our ideals than how “real” are we as individuals?
Real Talk. I think what ludacris did was good just for the simple fact that its the truth. Alot of people coming down on Luda but he said what millions of people were afraid to say. I wouldnt have said hillary is a b*tch but everyone knows she has some B*tch*****ness in her. Hillary’s whole campaign was about trying to ruin barack and change how people perceived him. I think what luda said was real and true. Thats whats wrong with america now they dont want to hear the truth or if they do they want it watered down. BIG UPS TO LUDA

Black pride really isn’t easy to come by in America. Glad I had TWO parents who maintained their childrens’ pride in Black people. I pity those who don’t know anything about that. Life must suck for you!
This is very surprising to me. I cant believe Ludacris would do this because he doesn’t seem like the type. That is not cool.

Thriller sold all of those albums in the 80’s when the American population was around 250million people. America alone has 350 million people now and they still don’t have an album that’s close to it.
Sales are down. Do any sort of research and it will confirm this.
So I guess according to what most are saying all drug dealers, thieves, murderers, cheaters, and addicts shouldn’t wear Obama ‘08 shirts. They shouldn’t show that they have an inherent right as well, regardless of their situation, to have a free voice, especially if their black. Listen, I wouldn’t be surprised if Luda freestyled that song as he recorded. Regardless of anybody thinking its wrong, there are far more lyrics on songs that say much worse about our own people, and we’re not in uproar. I think most of us are just surprised that this came from Luda, cuz that’s typically not his style, but so be it. It is what it is. And I don’t buy for one ‘cotton pickin’ minute that Obama listens to Luda, let alone have him on his ipod. That was a ploy people. I support Obama 100% and would love to see him win this thing, but to have to continuously disembark yourself from others for their words or actions is not right. Jeremiah Wright, Ludacris, and others that have spoken against the travesties of this country so far, I beleive are the only ones really speaking the truth. And just because the majority of this country (the same majority that was pro-slavery, pro-segregation, and anti-affirmative action) don’t want to hear the truth, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t speak it.

@ unemployed I hope your handle is not your true situation first of all. But to say Obama sounds stupid? I’ve heard the man speak more than once and he is far from dumb. He is in a hard position and trying to play the middle. He cant come off as to black and cant come off as to white. He is the first black man to be in this postion, so he has no past point of reference to really go by. One drop of black blood in your body in America makes you black in this country and you will be treated as such. Bush is stupid, a liar, and corrupt as *****. He lied about the whole Iraq thing and Mccain is nothing but a old ***** Bush clone. The truly stupid ones are the folk who voted for Bush twice, and the ones who would consider voting for his old ***** wrinkly clone Mccain. The Mccain who was against MLK birthDAY being celebrated as a holiday. The Mccain who would do away with Affirmative Action. The Mccain who dumped his old wife to hook up with a younger richer chick. The Mccain who p*****es his self off as a military expert because he was a POW. to you I say WAKE THE ***** UP!!!

Life is never ever good for a Black person who is sorry they were born black. No matter how many times you tell yourself and others that…it is sad. Look at Michael Jackson. Yah he is soooo happy. lmao
OKAY FOLKS, LET LOOK AT IT LIKE THIS:
How many people have you heard of coming out, since Obama became the presumptive nominee, saying racist/sexist/violent things about Hillary and McCain? Not many.
BUT: let’s flip the script and talk about occurances since Obama won the nomination: SEVERAL! From him being called BOY in open meetings, people PURPOSELY mixing up his name to call him OSAMA instead of OBAMA, the senator from SC/NC putting on his website (official website paid for by the state) a t-shirt picture comparing him to Osama Bin Laden.
So much has been to Obama by people on purpose, yet the MSM will glaze over that, so O’Reilly knew what he had to do to make sure EVERYONE knew about Ludacris’ song. Let’s start hardballing the people who come down on Obama for the wrong reasons. I have no problem with anyone saying he lacks experience, has questionable ties to “unsavory” characters, etc. But he gets attacked because of his birth name and race all the time. Why don’t we play that up instead of just letting “media” like Bill O’Reilly and Faux have all the fun?
Luda,
I truely understand what you were getting at. ***** everyone that is taking it out of context. If ppl look at ya past songs it is a lyrically humorous song. Keeping it real Obama probably truely likes the song, but politically he has to play the game. We all know that. Luda made that song for young Black ppl that has never voted and getting into the political process. Im 25 and the last time I voted was for John Kerry dumb *****. Luda is right BLACK PPL HAS TO get off they ***** and make sure they vote. If we don’t vote and McCain wins that’ll be on us. But Luda next time no freestylin. Site down and write your lyrics out thoughtfully. Bcuz we know how the media will spin this artistic work to be a negative thing for Obama. We Black ppl, Black rappers, Black actors, Black Athletes have to be caculative about what we put in the media as to not harm this Man’s chance at history. We gotta rally behind him as a whole!!!! He can be a new image for our youth to aspire to be like instead of just a rapper, actor, athlete. I wantta hear lil kids say I wantta be President, a Supreme Court Judge, Secretary of state, etc. But every hater stop hating on Luda. We all know its one man’s artistic Point Of View (I feel the same way too, lmao). Stop reading too much in too it. Luda just said what many ppl are thinking.
“Life is never ever good for a Black person who is sorry they were born black. No matter how many times you tell yourself and others that…it is sad. Look at Michael Jackson. Yah he is soooo happy. lmao”

McSame is going to have a new economic plan:
“Forced Job Training”
All unemployed people and those receiving welfare and Government subsidies will now have to enroll in a new program. This program will help *****imilate these Americans to the workforce by helping them acquire vital job skills. Employers also need to enroll and will be able to select individuals best suited to help their companies. The labor provided will give the people enrolled valuable experience and a networking system. There will be no compensation but the people that enroll and are selected will receive free room and board. Those not selected will be shot.
Whatsyoursismine you are correct. Bill O’Reillly is just running scared because NOW that the reports have come out about all the talking points coming from the white house to CNN(not to mention the looming threat of a Black Democrat who has s*****bed FAUX NEWS coming into presidential power) he has to do everything in his power to downplay unneccesary attacks on Obama while highlighting attacks on McCain and Bush. He knows what is coming and he knows no matter how this thing turns out, his programming days are numbered. Look at how they destroyed Rush Limbaugh. O’Reilly is next.
@Realwoman:
Were you serious about your statement about black people not being happy they were born black?
SMH…some things you just dont respond to man, no matter how ludacris it is, lol
and he’s an idiot anyway, this is coming from a dude that raps on i’m so hood remix “I’m so hood that Ludacris should have been on the original version” wtf??? WHO says that…remixes are always supposed to be hotter, ho sit..
now this dumb shyte about to be a focus ppl will leach wasted energy in protest of this stupid shyte..He got way more heavier blows coming than this…this some bull..and we aint even ready..damn shame..
Someone should go out and google songs with Hillary Clinton or McCain in the lyrics. I guarantee you some alternative/punk artist has probably made something worse.
I’m really tired of this. Just think you guys, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to view the similarities. Ludacris, now why in the hell would he come out with this rap at the height of Obama’s campaign. He needs our positive, “shout your damn mouth and behave” support until he clinches this thing. Here you have Ludacris coming out with yet again controversy a la Jessie Jackson with this whack ***** controversial rap which only causes Obama to get away from his campaign and real issues to address this yet again more garbage. This is just a waste of good quality time he could be challenging McCain on the issues, if you haven’t noticed, the polls are close yall. What was Luda thinking? or was he caring or thinking as all. But, of course, the corporate executives, who run and control Luda felt this was the perfect time to put out this rap for controversy and distraction of Obama’s campaign. Luda didn’t help Obama one bit. That is what is going on in a nut shell. Luda was manipulated and didn’t even realize it. Shame on him!!! Now you know he could have put out this rap after the election. It apparently was beyond his control, because it is a bad time for this rap record to come out. I am so tired of once again those self serving, inconsiderate and corporate controlled Negroes. I will stop, and I hope you all will do the same, buying any type of rap or music including Ludacris’s rant, that is detrimental to Obama’s campaign until this campaign is over.

okkk, A whole lotta songs out there..AND noooobuddy cares…like we should do with this one, lets get to november and the real agenda…f*ck a luda lyric..
Damn 400+, well it least we’re talking about something
JMO-I overstand what Ludacris was doing, but we have to understand that we cannot resort to the same type tactics that White America has used
His statements will somehow be used against Obama and his march towards Penn Ave. Luda is too large of a figure in the music industry to put this song out there. White America will use this as ammo to attack Obama. We have to be more skillfull in our battles
@Realwoman:
Were you serious about your statement about black people not being happy they were born black?

Yes I am very serious. There are certain Blacks who just aren’t happy being Black. If SBM is truly Black he is one of them. Michael Jackson is another. I really do pity these people because IMO Black people are beautiful, strong, intelligent, kind, spiritual, blunt and damn sexy amongst other positive things.

The police are racist, they beat me down with a *****in nylon sack over my head and schackled me while they called me a n*gger, so Ya I ain’t feelin em. You don’t love being black. You love thinking you’re better than black people. You’re fake, and you’re a homo, everything about you is a falicy and a disgrace.
@ Realwoman
*How the hell did a post about Luda’s controversial lyrics turn into a blatant attack on Black women?*
SMGDH but I guess that I should not be suprised. You are right on point with your posts. Keep em coming sista.
lol yeh cops tend to be racist against drug dealers…Cry me a river clown…Man up
I don’t know how many rappers have said ***** bush. And they never laid it at the feet of the democratic party. But since Obama’s black I guess that means he had something to do with it? they’re prolly from the same projects? this is retarded.
@ strong black
I was never caught with drugs. They’re more racist against black BMW Drivers. If u were caking even a tenth as much as u front u’d know what I’m talking about and you’d hate the cops as much as I do, cause you’d get type cast right along with me. But the cops don’t target homos who pretend to be ballin while they sit in their mamas basement on her computer trying to hawk ***** pillow cases that *****ody wants or cares about. You’re a lame. Spray your noodles all over your *****in stash pillow.
@real
lol keep that fake hair in..I love being black first and foremost..I suggest we’d be better off leaving the ni____ of our community at home
_____________________________________________________
Yep *****ume that because I am a Black woman my hair must be fake. lol…and keep telling people what? You LOVE being Black when everything about Black people bothers you. Yah okay.
READ IT AND WEEP:
I LOVE BLACK PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOVE FOR SELF AND FOR THEIR BROTHERS AND SISTERS. The rest of you I will pray will never procreate and p***** this self hate onto anymore innocent children.
TRS, their hate has only succeeded in making us stronger since we are probably the only race of females on this earth that have been through so much. It is to the point where many of us thrive off of their hate of us. Now THAT is turning a negative into a positive. Stay ahead of them sister….
@ SBM
ok, smh @ you, how u a strong black BUSINESS man but tear down and belittle your PPL while u supposed to be puttin them on to prosperity??? You could of came in the posts on some making connects shyte if you about that money, a business man charms, instead you box’n out your ppl, and thats why we cant respect supporting blck business cuz you resort arrogance and its a turn off..black dollar and brain is worth something u using yours right? too busy tryn to stake claim on how we cant “get like you” when we should be helping each other, u couldve got opinions on your stuff that could help, cuz r u sure ppl want books, cell phones, keys and bottled water stuffed in a pillow? I dont want that shyt under my head unless i’m sure of the insulation and does it make it heavy? Is there a handle? Is it waterproof? I mean we could of pow wow’d with you and u could’ve walked out here maybe richer, ahead of the market and with some connects and friends.. or atleast some input to ponder.. this is your public opinion right here,
no wonder illuminate came at you like that cuz you put that man on defense of his *****, tearing down another black man cuz he aint moving the way you moving??? thats dead wrong SBM and disspointing.. UNITY is the word..You seem like a good dude too, come back from the darkside please…come on home suga..
“It is to the point where many of us thrive off of their hate of us. Now THAT is turning a negative into a positive.”
AMEN SISTA. AMEN!!!! Lately it seems like *SOME brothas on this site sit around and wait to pounce on a chance to vilify Black women. It’s disgusting and SAD that we have to deal with this from *SOME of our own men.
@ Wyze
Okay, so this is our chance at having the first black president elected. Are we gonna waste our time focusing on what someone said? True enough it wasn’t the best thing to do, but nonetheless we need to be more focused on AIDS, education, poverty, etc. We are spending too much time focusing on the negative and not the positive. And if I can remember correctly there is this thing called freedom of speech. With that being said, Luda voiced his opinion and it’s a big controversy? Why? No one has a straight answer for why…
Barack having a chance at being the first black president is irrelevant to what Luda did. If Barack is on top, then that’s where he’ll end up.
@Whodatsaid
lol you late on how this *****in contest began, so stop talkin
2nd. my team handles all the kinks of my products so relax boo and i never wanted to promote my business on this site, because in our community ain’t ***** but raggety ***** hatas..I kept it quiet cause I don’t need this promotion..lol 4 store distribution and they all selling well. I never mentioned it until the *****ing contest began and like I said “I never stop competing”…
“It is to the point where many of us thrive off of their hate of us. Now THAT is turning a negative into a positive.”

making it hard for Yung Berg, Reggie Bush and Ice T to make their money and enjoy their life. SMH….
@ Whodat
trud dat whodat
this *****get ***** ***** could be using this site to get more biz but instead he’s just gaining enemies. I’m a business major and I’ve been self employed (not just illegally) for the past 4 years. I can tell you right now that this cat doesn’t know a *****in thing, and he lies about all his *****. The concept is decent, but not original. There are cheaper alternatives to his *****. e.g store.lotionspotionsvibes.com/23475.html
and secondly his product is a sex toy dominated market, He’s talking about stashing valuables in there. People lock their valuables. He’s just an arrogant punk who acts like he’s big time but he’s a *****in rookie, focused on one might I add *****ty product that he markets to the completely wrong people in the completely wrong way
@ILLUMINATITHEPRINCE
ok i really had to laugh at the vitalago part…LOL.
Ludracris’ “rap” is ludicrous.
It’s OK have a political stance, but the sexism and misogyny (which Hillary and many women in power talk about) have NO place in the political arena.
Senator Clinton has done more during her time in government to help black people (whites, hispanics, asian, for that matter, too) than Ludracris ever will. Why exactly is Hillary a *****? I would love to know specific examples of what she’s said or done that cl*****ify as ‘*****y’.
Whether it’s a black rapper or white country music star spreading hate through their music, it’s ALL WRONG and it’s NOT OK.
As a black man, I am appalled. Kudos to Senator Obama for denouncing this absurdity.
@real
who are you?
I like the song, but it was a poor choice of words and at the wrong time. BLACK PEOPLE who support OBAMA need to sit down and spectate of they cannot find more creative ways to endorse him. This kind of attack, while I’m sure it was heartfelt, just puts BARRACK in the awkward position of condemning LUDA then of course causing some of the more reactionary Blacks to yell “SELLOUT”. Which Obama is not. He is a politician, first and foremost.
I also agree with Obama about the lyrical content of HIP HOP these days. I was watching SWEET TEE ‘On the Smooth Tip’ and SLICK RICK ‘Hey Young World’ and it was good, clean and sexy (I love me some Sweet Tee and her dancers in that video) fun without one BLEEP or ***** in either song. BLACK MEN who instruct or glamorize coping out and selling out by DRUG DEALING and degrading our most precious resource ‘THE BLACK WOMAN’ are idiots and should be treated like or worst than the common PIMP, CHILD MOLESTER or SNITCH. They are no better and in the end, all promote the destruction of OUR PEOPLE and OUR CULTURE.
Again…
DRUG DEALER = Government agent.
PIMP = Rapist or Pedophile.
CRACK RAPPER = Government Informant.
DISRESPECTFUL BLACK MAN = Woman Beater.
What’s the difference?
@prince
lol why you mad son? Get out of that pine tree dominated region and relocate somewhere nice. Lol colder than a mother*****a up there I bet
o i forgot putting his ***** in non chain stores that no ones ever heard of, all in one place. Who’s your team your momma and your auntie? o and
@ mr. anderson I never fully got back at chu on that ludacris can rhyme about what he wants *****. Ludacris can say what he wants when he wants about who he wants, and if people don’t vote for a candidate based on a ludacris lyric, then they are retarded. it’s that simple. They are foolish and don’t have any concept of what they are taking part in.
Luda’s over 30! GROW THE ***** UP! WHY WOULD YOU BE SO STUPID? THERE IS A TIME AND A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING! DON’T YOU KNOW THAT YOU SOUND IGNORANT!? I LIKED YO AZZ AT ONE POINT. I’M DOWN FOR THE ATL ALL THE WAY, BUT THIS DUMB AZZ ***** IS WRONG IN SO MANY WAYS! MIXING POLITICS WITH YOUR IGNORANT RANTS!? PERSONALLY THE HIP HOP GANGSTER ***** IS GETTING OLD. WE ARE IN A RECESSION , AND THE HELL IF I’M GOING TO SPEND MY MONEY ON CRAP LIKE THIS! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!I UNDERSTAND AND RELATE TO HIP HOP BUT WITH THE IGNORANCE OF JESSIE JACKSON, THE FOUL MOUTH CRAZINESS THAT CAME FROM COMEDIAN BERNIE MAC WHEN HE ALLOWED HIM TO INTRODUCE HIM…..AND NOW THIS! POOR MAN HAS TO DEFEND HIMSELF AGAINST ONE THING AFTER THE NEXT! ARE THERE ANY INTELLIGENT, COMMON SENSED BLACK FOLK THAT CAN SEPERATE THE CORRECT AND INCORRECT TIME FOR CERTAIN DIALOUGE. THIS FOOLISHNESS IS SO INAPPROPRIATE FOR THIS CRUCIAL TIME IN HIS CAMPAIGN. HE HAS NOT WON IT YET! WHY NOT PUT OUT SOMETHING POSITIVE LIKE BIG BOI DID WITH THE HOOK WITH MARY J. I DON’T UNDERSTAND HIM. HIS MAMA SHOULD’VE STOPPED HIM.ONE DAY LUDA TRIES TO PLAY IT UP LIKE HE IS POSITIVE,(THE SONG HE DID WITH MARY J BLIGE FOR THE RUN AWAY KIDS…) THEN HE PULLS THIS DUMB *****! I’LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER LUDA CD AGAIN! NOR WILL I BUY ANYTHING FROM DISTURBING DA PEACE!
@ SBM
I first starting buying properties in British Columbia, it’s pretty nice there, mountains huge trees walking distance to the pacific ocean. But I don’t mind the cold, so I moved back east where I’m from. If I wanted to I could move to the warmth but I choose not to, the cold doesn’t bother me really.
@ Man I don’t care
Did anyone vilify the Black men on this post? I have yet to see it. You attempt to play coy with sly comments about rappers and your glaring sarcasm is obvious. You know what realwoman and I were referring to….SMH

there was once a time when Obama would’ve Killed for ludacris to spit some ***** like this in a rhyme, just so he could get the press. Now he’s 2 hollywood? Fame done blown this *****s dome up. Obama bring back something for the hood *****!
———-
ILLUMINATITHEPRINCE
Neither Obama or any other intellignetBlack person would or should allow anyone to degrade women, elderly or other races. Haven’t we learned anything from segregation….? Oh I forgot, many of the young Blacks of today wouldn’t know their history if it bit them in the a**. Maybe that’s problem for the ignorance.
I don’t wanna have 2 send one of my *****s down, they’d get lost on the *****in grey hound and they *****in *****’d bring the ***** back smellin like weed and cigarettes, if they didn’t end up gettin locked before they p***** montana
You can’t be “disrespected” by a rap song. That’s just ludacriss to think so.
Man I just don’t care…I knew there was something about you….now you confirmed it. Thanks.
Anywho, I think it would be wise to steer clear of these negative Blacks trying to *****imilate into white society by being disgusted with their own race. There actually are plenty of Black organizations geared toward uplifting other Blacks who have given up. I am part of one and suggest that those of you who are interested in that look for these types of organizations in your communities. If one doesn’t exist start it up.
The one I am a part of really encourages Black owned businesses and us frequenting those businesses through networking. They also do periodic do*****entary screenings, volunteer work, charity drives, educational seminars and much more benefitting those in some of our forgotten communities. I truly believe that surrounding yourself with positive NON SELF-HATING individuals will always cause you to succeed in ANY community. I am glad I don’t have to look to another race for pride. Aren’t you?
@ tracie
u right, 2 many *****s don’t really care about females n *****. Obama is right in what he’s sayin but i don’t think he’s appreciative enough of luda for what he was trying to do, I don’t think luda was tryin to hurt his campaign. It’s like when u give a kid a pack and he comes back a bit short you don’t gotta kill the ***** for tryin, just work with the ***** and draw the potential out of him.
@ Man I dont Care
I guess you haven’t been reading through these posts, particularly the ones that RealWoman was responding to because it is quite obvious who was engaging in the vilifying. In addition, it is not a laughing matter so kill the LOL because I’m not feeling it.
NO, I don’t know…so humor me. What exactly were you referring to? To me, it appeared as if you were being facetious in response to my comment, especially when you consider your comment about rappers, which had NOTHING to do with the subject at hand.
@realwoman
I bet you did “know there was something about me”
by all means put them into words LOL
@ Realwoman
What is the name of this organization? I am VERY interested in establishing something like this in my community. Can you provide any additional info?
@Prince
lol my boy runs that show. But thats where I cop from..
On the Porsche tip, man they hard to come by unless you in Miami and I have no connects down there with whips. Only thing coming through is a ‘Boxter” and we all know that ain’t a “Porsche”
As for your *****s, lol man you can’t be smoking in the whip..park that *****, post up and enjoy the traffic for 5 minutes.
@trs
“I guess you haven’t been reading through these posts, particularly the ones that RealWoman was responding to because it is quite obvious who was engaging in the vilifying. In addition, it is not a laughing matter so kill the LOL because I’m not feeling it.”
Well I don’t have anything to do with what you feeling. If it’s so “obvious” about this villification some poster were doing… just point em out.
“NO, I don’t know…so humor me. What exactly were you referring to? To me, it appeared as if you were being facetious in response to my comment, especially when you consider your comment about rappers, which had NOTHING to do with the subject at hand.”
The rapper comment was facetious, but only to point out the sword you and real woman keep swinging cuts both ways…
I guess all the “I hate myself” and the like are on the way LOL
@ SBM
