Barack is a Rock Star(and politician)

I do not agree with Obama’s campaign making this song relevant by responding to it. The song in itself is not a good listen and Luda’s rhymes are more funny than offensive. It would be a big waste of time trying to get mainstream rappers to become politically correct, not in the sense of supporting the right candidate, but rather in the sense of the way they describe people. Here’s the story.

Oh what another mixtape has wrought.

A song — really a two-minute verse — that Atlanta’s DJ Drama just started playing this past weekend on his syndicated Gangsta Grillz radio show, by Wednesday afternoon had drawn the attention of the presumed Democratic nominee for president, Barack Obama.

Why? Well the song is titled “Politics (Obama Is Here)”.

But the really inflammatory thing is that the rapper who did it — Atlanta’s Grammy-winning Ludacris — attacks Sen. Hilary Clinton, presumptive Republican nominee John McCain and Pres. George Bush. (Not to mention, Ludacris and Obama have been publicly supportive of each other).
