    i read an artical about the bloodline of obama…he had alot of white leaders from his bloodline like george washington and i cant really remember others…i dont know…obama as president?? a black man as president?? i mean not too long ago african americans were not even allowed to vote let along run for office..think about it, white america being represented by a african american president?….how you think they would feel about that?…..if you ask me..and this is my honest opinion..
    i think obama was grown to be president….im sure since young they was grooming him to be a politiion..i mean thats the only way i can see him being president…think about it…the united states is ”the most powerful nation in the world” and givin how racism still lives today…why would they elect him as president…..and when i say they i mean the ”people that run this govt” if you believe that our vote counts your bugging…..too much money..and too much shit going on to leave it to the public to choose a president

    … its not that i think he’s a garbage MC, cause he USED to be real nice with it … its that its obvious that his greater enrergies are consumed by his acting exploits … being a cutting edge MC is a 24/7 job (c) Wayne & Pac … emcees who expanded into acting, as career fields, either fell off as rappers, or disappeared completely …

    Will Smith
    ice Cube
    LL
    latifah

    u peole are S.T.U.P.I.D. (that means fukin idiots). Mos Def for me (i sed me motherfuckas) is the G.O.A.T. for real. the dude is just pure passion. he’ll come at u homever his heart feels to. whether it be rap, singing, acting, talking, shouting at yo ass or anything else. it doesnt seem like a lot of u would understand (2X) . Black On Both Sides is HEAVY. he’s declined in quality because for man thats a carrers worth of heavenlyness, also he is affected by the envirnonment so u see why he hasnt followed it up.
    and be coo rewing is not out yet, watch part 3 of the interview, it says JANUARY (thats the first moth of the cracker calender foools)

    Mos Def > anyone else that does everything that he does

    But unfortunately that is true about American politics.

    Dennis Kucinich has the best policies IMHO for the Average Joe American (of any race), but he is an ugly [||] short midget so many shallow Americans write him off immediately. SMH
