This is fucking lame. He waits until Bush's LAST YEAR in office to say something. I'm sorry, but Obama '08 is just Vote or Die 2004 reincarnated. The last two presidential elections were way too close to call but all of a sudden people believe in the voting system and the country in general. Other rappers in the past who have publicly said they don't vote all of a sudden have faith in the system. If that's not some bandwagon shit, I don't know what is. Obama is a part of that system, after all.
One more thing:
"As long as there's drugs to be sold, I ain't waitin' for the system to plug up these holes." - Jay-Z on "Hell Yeah (Remix" by Dead Prez
That is all.
I love all these lame-asses coming out of the woodwork now that Bush's term is coming closer and closer to his final term.
Where were you assholes during his peak? Hiding behind your cowardice like every other celebrity who was afraid of getting marred for being some sort of political "traitor". It's funny that a small group of musicians did it while he was at his peak of his presidency, and they swallowed what they started.
Now everyones jumping on the "fuck bush!" bandwagon as this current administrations time is coming to a halt. These celebrities will receed back to their holes once the US gets a new president or find some new trendy "VOTE OR DIE!" situation to peddle their inane bullshit.
Real fucking brave guys.
Why do ya'll even care? I mean you're getting all worked up over nothing. This is his opinion and he's free to express it....really, get a life its not that serious.
Does this moron have any idea that Bush isnt running this year?
he recites a verse from blue magic..which referances bush(vagina) to Bush president...so thats how the crowd knew to say FUCK BUSH..but!!let the media show it..and its a wrap....personally i would say the same thing if i had a platform to express it on..FUCK BUSH..THATS HOW I FEEL ABOUT HIM...FUCK ALL REPUBLICANS.....YOU JUST WANT THE RICH TO STAY RICHER & THE POOR TO STAY POOR...
Barack's an ASSHOLE.
i just now watched obama on the news, he was putting people that had any kind of a problem with alians jumpin the boarder ,,,,,DOWN,,,,YOU JUST LOST MY VOTE AND EVERY ONE I CAN TELL THIS STATEMENT TO .... YOU JUST FUCKED UP,,,IM NOT TO HIP ON A WOMAN FOR PREZ,,,,BUT I HOPE HILLARY KICKS YOUR ASS.YOUR STATEMENT RELLY.......RELLY PISSES ME OFF ,YA I GUESS IM ONE OF THEM,,,,AN AMERICAN....
ALL OF U SHOULD KNOW THAT WE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALS AND THEREFORE REQUIRE A NEED TO HAVE FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION:) SO LET PEOPLE AIR THEIR VIEWS WITHOUT BEING INSULTED...by the way...OBAMA TO WIN!!!
Fuck ALL DEMOCRATS MASED! AND FUCK YOU!
Fuck you Jat-Z, you heard DMX he is not a fucking nigga like you, so stop bitching so that Beyonce will be safe from getting fuck with a white guy...or muslims
fuck Jay-z and Obama
he doesn't know anything about politics he should just keep his mouth shut.
