Hip Hop N' Obama
Right after I was done asking myself when some rappers were going to rap about Obama, Nas released his new track. You wanna hear what it sounds like when you mix Obama and rap(not as miserable as it sounds)? You can listen to a clip as well as a few others that Obama has made an appearance on, at the link:

4. No "scare" quotes
Edited on Thu Jun-12-08 09:27 PM by JoFerret
I am happy to "remove" them.

My "purpose" was actually to try and suggest that "Obama's" skin color was irrelevant.

But - if he is going to be held up/ held down for that then maybe there could be a "trivial" secondary gain music "wise".

7. No "need"
Except that for some it does seem "relevant". And maybe - there might be a plus in that somewhere for some people.

PS I heard a rumor he has a "black" child. I don't know if it is true but it certainly would seem relevant if it were so that's why I mention it. Not to imply anything of course. And if it were to be found out to be true then I would not mind. I am a liberal minded person about such things. But it is probably just a nasty smear and a rumor.

10. No need to be so "shocked" and "awed"
These things happen.

And it's not just music. I am sure you have heard the rumor about John Coltrane?
Not that I would bring that up but if some one were to bring it up then I would be merely responding.

6. Let's add that to the platform!
Why is rap lumped in with r & b when it really has no rhythm?

14. I don't like rap OR crap music
I also don't like tributes to Repukes who didn't deserve fame in the first place. :)
