  • Mistah FAB is the stereotypical ghetto man who likes obama... says that he likes obama because he is black, but also because of his principals. however, we all know that mistah fab has no idea about anything obama wants for the country. smh

  • Chingo Bling is wild! R.I.P.

  • They should've brough Professor Griff on, he's the only person in hip hop I trust. Most of these dudes are either ignorant or intentionally misleading people.

  • They should give Talib Kweli an longer interview both him and Bun B are the only ones that actually incorperated reasoning behind their thinking.

  • I wonder how many people are actually sitting back and saying to themselves "I wish I could have taken Lupe Fiasco's advice back in 08" lol

  • Although im frm England we all celebrated when obama won but has things really changed in America when most black people voted for him just because he was black isint that the same thing thats been going on for years and also If a white women still cant win Americas vote does this mean Gender is still an Important issue to overcome just as race is

  • well its a good thing hilary clinton won

  • SuperNatural, you dumb mothafucka!!!!!

    "over 50 presidents!"?!!!

  • Check out my Obama beat ! NEW !!! the best on youtube !!!

  • Supernatural is so fucking stupid he is like, "Theres been like what? Over 50 presidents?" There has been 43 what a fuckin retard

    and Mistah FAB's reason is because Obama's black

  • yeah real talk, the best answers goes to talib and chamillionare. Supernat suprised me still for sounding ignorant. Mistah FAB is dumb....and uh Lupe's reason sound more spiritual than logical lol.

  • Dig a tunnel? WTF!?

  • WTF is this????

    They should have brought in Nas and Immortal Technique.

  • They both supported and voted Obama.

  • i thinks its a mistake to tell people all you have to do is VOTE. na, thats not all u have to do, there are thousands of things we can do in our communities to make our communities better n they have people thinkin if they cast a vote they've done their part...Na man nu haven't done your part by voting, there is so many things you can do - Talib Kweli...once again, Preach my brother!!!

  • hillary clinton - i cant c how a civilized person can vote to support the war and it's very hard for me to get behind somebody who did that democrat or republican - Talib Kweli...Preach!!!! check out my video

  • none of these candidates have my vote yet, these candidates have 2 b of the people n not career politicians 2 get my vote n i dont see any that are like that...i like da things dat mike (gravel?) n i always fff-mess this guys name up dinonich divovich dinamich kusinomich (dennis kucinich?), his, this guy, he is very intelligent n says some very powerful things but he's so meek with how he presents himself dat aint nobody listenin so no one knows that he has all this stuff to say-Talib...Preach!!

  • honestly i dont believe in the system like that- Lupe Fiasco...Preach!!!

  • lmao what lupe's been smoking

  • bun b is so real and hood

    and talib should b the fuckin vice president help hoods all across america

    2 me our biggest issue is lowerin these fuckin gas prices and the war in iraq den who becomes president

  • This is an interesting video to see how rappers react to the upcoming election no matter black or white.

  • Paul Wall I cant understand a word ur fucking saying do everyone a favor and stop rapping :P

  • bun b is right we need them to freaking help the people what we want, tax cuts for everybody, end the war, and loads of other shit. as far a i know non of the canditates are the same concept. eighth

  • clearly most hip hop is black, so they will vote for obama like thats a no brainer and when Lupe said Clinton everyone is haiting and tell me how black people always talk about racism when they wouldnt vote for a white person

  • What the hell are you talking about!?! for 60 years blacks have HAD to vote for whites, and this is shit lupe was talking around the start when hillary still had black support.

    but these rappers don't study like that so you have to take what they say from a grain of salt

  • What the hell are you talking about!?!

    for over 50 years black people HAD to vote for whites!! and as intelligent as lupe is i have to wonder when he said that. because even my mom an African American studies major, was contemplating Hilary at the beginning.

    not only that you have to think about the fact that these rappers and everyone else in the industry will usually talk before even taking the time to see what the candidates are about so lupe was just talkin bull, but i bet he straight now

  • I dont get what ur saying my point is that ALL BLACK RAPPERS WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA listen to the first dude " ill vote for obama reason because he is a black MAN!" that is my point, yeah for over 50 years black people HAD to vote for whites because they couldnt get into politics so that is different. IF there were black people in the running everytime every rapper would VOTE for the black CANDIDATE. so what r u saying. black people always talk about racism,but yet they have BET dividing themsleves

  • i can't argue with you on the bet thing, but you're missing my point. You can't blame someone black for getting excited about the first black president. and if a black person was in the running every time with an actual chance of winning then someone would've had to go back in time and erase slavery! now as far as a black person being in the running we've had six others dating back to '72, but you didn't hear bout em because no one not even rappers gave them a fighting chance!

  • i ran ou of room so ill just used this to "fine tune" my point. it just so happens that this year the circumstances for this to happen were just right you know with bush and republican fatigue. And when I as a black man found out that another black man with an actual chance of winning was in the running i too was excited. Now I took the time to study his policy and its safe to say that a lot of rappers won't do that. point is I too had that initial excitement. so that must mean this was early on

  • (after early on) so that being said you can't really say for certain what was going through their heads at a time when the news read that the black vote was actually split between obama and hilary (which is why i think lupe said that) now as far as bet goes, it doesn't divide us as americans, it divides US black people from each other but thats another story. black candidates:

    chilsolm '72

    jackson'84-88

    fulani'88-92

    keyes'96-00

    braun'04

    sharpton'04

    obama'08

    rap first came in late 60's

  • u forgot frederick douglas in 1872

  • one more thing, thanks for being cool about responding to my first comment. i shoudn't have said "what the hell" :( it just seemed that you were one of those guys, but you seem pretty cool so yeah thanks!

  • No problem, it was a good discusion...i didnt know about all those other Candidates,. One more thing from me, I like watching BET it has some interesting things but like think if there was a WET like next week people would go nuts.

  • WTF? Fuck this...

    IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE for president!

  • Haha, I see how no one replied to your comment yet. Only you and me understand underground. And Immortal Tech has been on his game on this presidental shit for a long time.

  • Bun B said some real shit right there..

  • LAKERS '08

  • dont agree with anyone but talib. These people think just since you are black you are voting for a democrat. I like ron paul

  • lupe is on some other shit

  • The two whose comments are most true to the spirit of Hip Hop were Bun B and Talib Kweli. Listen to both of their comments carefully, because thats how the whole COUNTRY needs to think, not just hip hop.

  • they should have interviewed nas...and especially immortal technique

  • Everyone wants to vote obama wants change and i agree but most just see things the way they are and want something different. Most who want to vote obama were not old enough to even see things before bush and thats all they know. I liked when bill clinton was in office with 99 cent gallons of gas.

  • Barack or hillary its all good they're both in the same party democrats.. Just as long as its not a republican again..

  • who the hell cares? these guys are idiots. They can barely speak English! Why would you vote for Obama because he's black? Disgusting. (I like Obama but i think there are better reasons to support him)

  • Don't forget Barack is half white, If he had white skin and blonde hair would you still support him?

  • yup

  • nope

  • what bun b, supernatural and talib said was on point

  • paul wall is a fucking piece of shit, why they even have him on here? no one wants to hear what this guy has to say about anything, but definately politics. give us a longer interview with tailb, that guy knows his shit.

  • cuz he is from the hood. the most neglected place in america.

  • I'm agreeing with everything Talib Kweli has to say her. That is one smart, thought-out man.

  • Any of those rappers who said they would vote for Hillary has just lost all Street Cred... Chamillionaire and Lupe fiasco share the same values as a middle aged, middle class white woman. Dat's bad!

  • fuckyou

  • Both are socialist criminals. Words are just that. BLACK PEOPLE......KEEP THE RULES OBEY THE RULES STOP BLAMING EVERYONE. A BLACK PERSON UNQUALIFIED IS AS BAD AS A MONKEY AT THE WHEEL. A POWER HUNGRY WOMAN IS AS BAD AS A RABID DOG.

  • although i do partially agree with you, you need to be careful with the "monkey" analogy. it's been used as racial slang for a long time - think up another one that doesn't coincide with previous slurs.

  • TR, I don't blame everyone - just those who collude with oppression/classism.

    Also, #1  Are you comparing Obama to a "monkey"?

    And #2 Are you saying Black people do not recognise racism/oppression when we see it?

  • See that's the entire problem. Pigs, monkeys, wasps,. Just be people not over sensitive about words. Keep the rules , do what's right WE suffer for our actions.,all of us. If you're black just be someone who happens to be not someone who has to always be recognized as a wooow is me nobody knows da truble I seed.

    White people are simply not smart enough to have "oppressed" an entire race for centuries. Tribalism is the curse of the black race. ?Is Condi or Colin black.don't know, they're free.

  • Yes TR, and as long as wyts animalize us, we will be sensitive about those word. YOU deal with it. Why do you say WE must be the ones to adjust to racism. Slavery didn't just effect Black people - white supremecy is still heavely woven into wyt culture.

  • Again, TR5T, are you saying that all of the Black people in this country that speak to the racism we deal with in this country are lying? Are making it up? That racism is mass hysteria? That every single one of us is mistaken and YOU are right in YOUR opinion of what factors have effected every single Black person in the US?

    Oh what authority do you base your belief? What authority gives you the credence to make a blanket statement like that?

  • Yea an old wrinkled man who said himself "he doesnt know anything about the economy" shouldnt be president. I hate when white folks such as yourself that is so out of touch with black america seem's to think everyone is blming someone else. People stop complaining about nothing along time ago but have never had there issue's address,this is real life people are starving in america,this isnt a movie. Maybe it doesnt effect you and it never will so obviously you see it from one side.Very typical

  • My side ,Detroit 1962 black teachers, 1965-65 factory black coworkers, 1966-68 1st Amoured Div.black D.I.s black NCOs black officers. ,

    Don't give me any "truble I seed" crap. There are black people who have always become something, never starved, always kept the rules. No excuses.

    Doesn't affect me! Who is paying all the welfare, medicaid, housing for those who do not keep the rules. There is oportunity for all, I've seen it. See it!

  • people saying they are gonna vote for him because of what color he is is just stupid. thats the problem. alot of people really don't care to see what hes about. so what he can give some good speeches, so could Hitler. im not comparing the two im just saying. hey im gonna vote for him because hes black and im black.... stupid move. people need to stop seeing people as color and just see them as a damn person. its a 50/50 problem in this world.

  • Only because he's black, black people should vote for him and white people should vote for him because they are too sympathetic.

  • HILLARY CLINTON STRIKES AGAIN CAUGHT TWISTING WORDS

    COPY AND PASTE IN YOUTUBE SEARCH

    AMERICA IS UNDER ATTACK FROM ITS LEADERSHIP.

    THE RULING CLASS WAGED A FRAUD ON 9-11, and

    blamed it on Muslims, claiming these Muslims hate who we

  • Ron paul

  • obama should win but its sad that i highly doubt he will

  • ...but race is not an issue.

  • Most of these guys are voting him just cos Obama is Black? I personally live in England and dont give a shit about the elections over there, so i dont know what they have to say, but whateva these guys sound like theyre only choosing him because he is black. Stupid.

  • Hi, Secretia Collins here from SecretiaTV... I'm voting for Obama because he's black. I just can't see a lesbian as president.

  • What great political insights everyone offers.... too bad no one realizes that either one wants to raise your taxes. Check that shit out for real!

  • omg, not, not raise are taxes, omg, anything but that

    jesus christ, where else is the government gonna get money to fix all the shit geroge bush has done, obvioulys we need to raise taxes, stop only thinking about ur self and think about america

    i'm not even fucking american, i live in canada but shit is so obviously clear

  • Talib should've been the only one in this video; everybody else making a fool out of Hip Hop

  • lol bun b "i got the power to move things", i dont think so haha

  • Who in their right mind would vote for Barack O.? But than again, Who in their right mind would vote for Hillary C.?

  • Who in there right mind would vote for Mccain???

  • k WH OTHE FUCK IS CHINGO BLING? WATT A WIGGER

  • DOUBLE NIGGER

  • F.A.B is only saying it cause hes black,

    your complaing about problems, but yet your only voting for him cause hes half black.

    Cham and 50, they usin they head.

  • F.A.B is only saying it cause hes black,

  • vanjan

  • Omg Lupe Fiasco is fukin sikk wat u talking bwt blad ? hes grrrrrrrreaaat

  • no i still think hes good in all its just i like him rapping more, you didnt get as much of hm just spitting rhymes. and itss more that im dissapointed that hes a hillary fan not an obama

  • fiasco is turning in to a fag. your knew album sucks compared to your old stuff, and now your voting for hillary. go barrack

  • fiasco's last album was fire! what are you talking about.

  • no i still think hes good in all its just i like him rapping more, you didnt get as much of that in his last album

  • Obama has the vote, but I dont know really, I would go with Clinton as well because sometimes Barack comes off as too cool,feel what im saying? He's too perfect and that shit scares me...

    If you love hip hop, really love it, add me as a friend, ghost....

  • We should see a difference with either Clinton or Obama. A vote for either is definitely a vote for something different. It would be a positive sign for America if a black man or a white woman were VOTED into a position of power by a majority of white men. In the past, the majority of white men always made an organized effort to not allow women and blacks to hold positions of extreme power.

  • check my site for lakers game brawl, i was hilarious

  • This election should be interesting

    OBAMBA 08!!!

  • go obama!!

  • YO YO YO viva la Mexico! You know what i'm sayin'? You know what i'm sayin? You know what i'm sayin vote for Mccain!

  • Dude, I fucking laughed. Epic.

  • McCain? Wow...

  • Good video!

  • Any of those rappers who said they would vote for Hillary has just lost all Street Cred... Chamillionaire and Lupe fiasco share the same values as the middle age, middle class white woman. That's bad!

  • Belie dat. Nigga's betta vote 4 tha nigga pres!

  • Obama is black, Not a nigga.

  • Why does the Paul guy talk like a Negro? So what is Obama's platform what does he stand for. These negroes do not have a clue as to what either candidates agenda is. So Bun B what are your issues the fact your women have 5 kids by 5 of you negroes. Bunny B said he could swing the vote in any state Hey negro your Momma is to lazy a black bitch to get out & vote the only thing you are going to swing is like a monkey from a tree.Nigga said over 50 Presidents what an idiot. it not 45 cent its centS

  • Hey Lil' Willy! Sounds like you have some issues with "negros"? Whats all this about us having 5 kids by 5 different fathers? You better turn that attitude of yours around and be nice.

    You know your grand/ great grand children are are going to be brown - you better get to a shrink and get those old racist assumptions out of your head.

    For the sake of your Brown genereations to come. We've got some pretty strong genes so you know there won't be much left of you in generations to come.

  • MIstah fab you lil fucker

  • I have been supporting Obama for quite a while now, and although I really would like for him to win, I hope it isn't only because of his skin color or such things. Same goes for Clinton - I would not want people voting for her just because she's female.

  • Respect to people like Chamillionaire, who'll rather say straight up they have to do more research on the issues rather than just jumping on the bandwagon. I'm probably gonna end up voting for Obama, but I recognize that I still need to do some more homework on that. Respect to Chamillionaire.

  • chamillioniare u suck as well!!

    OBAMA 08!!!!

  • not one intelligent thing said except for talib

  • Fu ck the HIP HOP men! turn ur back on them x et ! they cause they su ck ass men! THEY suc k, HIP HOP S UCKS !!! ROCKERS RULE! what ever u say damb ass... U SUC K 4ever, WE LIVE BEACAUSE WE BELIEVE DAT U SUC K

  • ur right MOST of them r retarded, and MOST of them didn't go to college.

  • Lets try electing a candidate whos not a member of the C.F.R ( council on forign relations) Now you see, you have to look up C.F.R. now.

  • This is retarded "I'm voting because hes black" or "Im voting because shes a woman" they dont know shit about politics. But Bun B and Kweli sound smart as shit on this one.

  • I agree with Luppe Fiasco!!!

  • Wow, rappers are retarded, to bad Im a part of that. Wanna know more just check out my vids :)

  • They Are All Wearing Shades Because They Are Hi

    :)

  • It's great to see the Hip Hop community excercising their rights. Vote smart!

  • what about McCain

  • black people are generally democrat not me though

  • This is pathetic. Stop using the word "audacity" when describing Obama. It's terribad. Bun B and Talib Kewli were the only smart sounding people.

  • at least snoop wasn't interviewed!

  • check my site for lakers brawl, i was HILARIOUS

  • I hope Obama gets to be President.

  • i appreciate all these young people getting involved and listening to the person who will best fit you needs our communities need new leadership and noney which one do you really think will advocate for the people in need

  • The only one who came CLOSE to saying something intelligent was Talib... The rest - evidence of the ignorance and TV 'education.' AND the reason HipHop isnt HipHop anymore. When are we going to snap out of it?? Listen to these cats.. Sad..

  • i feel you man, Talib is the truth

  • Bunch of biased retards, you dont even know wHo Mike Gravel is! look him up man! FUCK OBAMA! FUCK HILLARY! and Fuck you retards for voting for the lesser of two evils, the lesser is still evil!

  • UNCLE LUKE...PLEASE BELIEVE IT!!!

    This nigga is the truth....he has been fighting for his rights for years.

    Very active in the community.

  • Damn, yall, look at all dis gansta niggas!

    Down wit dat yall!

    Clowns.

  • Lupe is for Hilary? Come on Lupe...I feel ya on not believing in the system. But how can you believe in her?

    Woman will have their president and it won't be someone as corrupt as Clinton...unless it's Chelsea.

  • I love the whole rap game. That shit's in my heart, even in death. It's a part of my soul.

    And as far as voting goes, I ain't voting.

    I SEE YOUNG BUCK!!!!! SWEET!

  • go Obama!!! McCain sucks

  • only idiots and idiot rappers will vote hilary..

    the world would of been a better place if al gore hadnt been cheated out of his presidential status.. obama also has a lot of great ideas and rlly has his mind right.. fingers crossed for him.

  • haha...you got a lotta thumbs down for that shit rampart, lol...in fact, imma add one more right about now...

  • And Bun B's comment rang too true

  • haha, "Never had dinner with the President!" lol

    But good reporting right here, showed many sides...

    And Kweli was talkin about Dennis Kucinich...definitely WAS the best candidate, before he dropped out, cuz no one paid attanetion to him...

  • Lol, as a black man, that was extremely embarrassing. Lupe, Chamillionaire, Kweli(even tho i dont like him as a rapper) and Bun B seemed like the only ones with brains. even though i didnt support fiascos decision. and who the HELL let paul wall in here?! that is the MOST ignorant nigga on earth...and hes white.

    *claps* that deserves an honor

  • scratch what i said, i skipped the part where he said 'i can swing the voting in any state"

    so, bun b is an idiot as well.

    and god i hate banner and paul walls voice...

  • As a Mexican man, I am wondering who the hell Chingo Bling is o_O

  • Hahahaahaha, dude looked like a straight idiot.

  • Talib Kweli spoke the real thing

  • The only real racism is the class racism.The rich against the poor

    you can vote a black guy or a woman but you cant vote a poor...doesnt that say somethin to you?

  • One of the things that impressed me about Edwards is that he was the only candidate that kept focused on poverty.

    Peace

  • only kwali has a bit of a sense man!fuck both hillary and obama,fuck both democrats and republicans.Capitalism isnt made for the poor,period.

  • WORD

  • lol, Bun B thinks he can swing the vote!

  • lupe fiasco and bun b are clinically retarded. bun b if you really think you can swing a voting bloc( and yes people when describing a group of people as voters its spelled bloc) then why aren't you running? also cham gave the ONLY and i can't stress this enough ONLY intelligent response wow! nothings going to change unless people get EDUCATED!!!

  • bun is a retard.....i dont agree with who he wants but i do like the reason as to why he likes clinton.

  • Chamillionaire and Talib Kweli were the smartest ones up there. The rest we're on too much of the "because he's black" or "because she's a woman" garbage.

    Obama is the best candidate hands down, forget black and white or red and blue.

  • Talib, Lupe, Chamillionaire speakin the truth....

  • the only guys who knew what they were talking about were the real rappers.

    Lupe Fiasco, Talib Kweli, and Chamillionaire

  • kweli and lupe are the best artists, and lupe kwleli and cham said the most intelligent things
