Amanda Diva "Watch Ya Back Barack" Video

[dunkindeeznutz]

Amanda ROCKS!

Obama SUCKS!

40 MC'S is 1 of my all time favs.

[Tusuegrapotentee]

the goverment in the us is just the same as a caople of yeras before. If you haven't noticed jet democracy doesnt exist any more, what does exist are the big multinationals and CIA.. wich do what they fucking want. Goverment is a guy who has been puted there for there own benefit, and they choose obama to keep every one happy. So obama wont be killed, dont worry

watch The obama decepcion and you'll see

Spain

[wcorowitz]

I think this video has become extremely relevant again because of the bonehead Rep. Paul Broun. Down here in Augusta, GA, he has become an embarrassment.

[jemoederhla]

2pac said it we are not ready for a black president cause a real black president would turn tis system upside down

[miggs80]

Actions speak louder than words. He made alot of beautiful speeches about change within his first term but he has not achieved or pushed for any of it. It was just talk. Quit worshiping him because he looks like us. Martin Luther King, now that was a man that actually made change happen.

[miggs80]

As a black man myself it kills me that other black people voted for Obama just because he's half black. My country's well being is more important than having someone with some black heritage. He is a horrible president. I know he was left with alot but he promised certain things that he's not living up to. My cousins voted for him and they didn't know anything about him. All they said was "he's black." My people, act intelligent and show some class.

[Mana2theLie]

stop this whole black,white shit... if ya listened to martin luther king, you will understand that he was not fightin for a future where everybody just talks about the colour of our new president! of course its great that know adays everybody get the chance to be a political big leader-black,white,yellow,red.­..but why the poeple do not talk about the words and ideas of obama?! if we just hype that he is black, it seems unfurtunality that nobody checked what martin luther king was talkin about.

[jamfree123]

man 40 mcs is a dope trak, then i wached some more of here and wasnt feelin it, and now shees just biteing mia

[koersi]

ya exactly right, i also don't find anything thats as smooth as 40 mc's

its kinda sad, 'cause i was really overwhelmed by that track

[floresd121]

why can't you be on tv

[heat45jc]

amanda diva is on tv all the time. i just seen her music video with saun boothe 'music man' on muchmusic. she was on mos def's poetry show back in '02 too.

[KingDobe]

gtfo racist wimps..

[Earthkillah]

[triggerthesoldier1]

This sister got everything,mad talented and not to mention cute as hell

Props to ya..keep doin ya thing..

[resurself]

[isoulsis]

[resurself]

dang, ok, but ummm, she has, no problem, addressing haters...when necessary.

[hashbrownham]

cool Barack Obama this day did come!

[Suntouch17]

This chick sucks!! i think i saw her on vh1 with her little ass teeth and annoying self

[theloveofmoney]

...lol lil ass teeth? they look normal size teeth to me.

[hashbrownham]

hater is annoying it sucks huh?

[isoulsis]

Lol...youre a hater. thanks for the info hater, i didn't know she was on Vh1! wow dont

ya wish it was you on Vh1!

[etherealdrainx]

you should put these lyrics to a Four Year Strong or Set your goals song... Like Heroes get remembered, or mutiny. And then put it on youtube. That would be amazing

[VictorSlick17]

Whoaa.. you slammin hard hear...daggg!

[tommymammamia]

keep up the good work sista!

[iseeyalive]

is the summer break is it over yet? dang.

[sealthis]

Why oh why do you keep promoting john mccain's

name on this page? just stop it. go to someone's page who support's

old ass, one foot in grave john mccain

[bennystill]

you people see brown skin and vote for him

in for that reason only, America will be one foot in the grave period.

[sealthis]

For your information I am not voting for Barack just because he has Brown Skin!!

Are You voting for mccain beacause he has

White skin??... give me a break, what you people afraid of anyway?? you people, I hate that

[bennystill]

ok,ok, i'm wrong for saying: you people.

i should have said... colored people?

[sealthis]

colored??? what era are you from??

[bennystill]

... :-P

[redtonesis]

love the mixtape foreplay good music, yes!

[mikerobva]

i just dont like the subject. dont talk about obama gettin merked...i aint diggin that. amanda diva check me out on myspace myspace . com slash Physiks

[mikerobva]

not a hater but i dont like this. infact i think it's wack. what's the name of the song that she got the beat from?

[prettynpinkyathink]

the beat is from m.i.a., paper plains,

its stated in the info, be more displeased with fox news display of racism towards Obama

[mikerobva]

yea...that's america for u.

[prettynpinkyathink]

yea, but dude, Nas did something relating to that issue.

we have the power to stop them...fox news

[mikerobva]

nas did something but thats not going to stop anything alone. besides it's not only fox. BET perpetuates ignorance right along with all of your local radio stations. they just promote lust...greed ... hate. the record labels really have the power, in those venues. you think about the money they spend to promote a song or an artist. when they play the song over and over and over again it can become programmed and acted out u know. just my humble opinion

[prettynpinkyathink]

true, Nas Alone wont stop anything,

good point

[anti2cute]

girlfriend, you have nerve, imean have you listen to your shit lately??! it's garbage!

don't come here tryin diss a sista with

positive vibes

[iseeyalive]

look whos talkin' your rap/rhythm is wack!

[iseeyalive]

hhhhhello, hello, earth to star ship?

i'm bored

[bennystill]

go read a book by John McCain.

wins in '08 kid

[iseeyalive]

hhhhellooo i'm not that bored.

Go Barack Obama '08! i can't wait to vote

i have 3 more years too go

[bennystill]

[iseeyalive]

duh you are,

look whos talkin' yourrrre the one whoooos

eccentric!

dumb advice you give.

[prettynpinkyathink]

@ iseeyalive!! hey Natalie long time no talk to.

Hahaa who you telling off!! lol

xoxoxo

[iseeyalive]

Hi my friendm hahaha i was so bored

[iseeyalive]

is the summer break almost over yet?

[Eriewatts]

I'm diggin this more then M.I.A's,.

i never thought i would say this

american vs english accent

1. i can understand Amanda Diva's diction better

[melisashotsout]

i'm sorry about the 50 cent statement really.

[melisashotsout]

yeah man no death wish.

[melisashotsout]

OMG... No, i don't want to think about it in that dreadful way.

...thats what 50 cent said in so many words ugh!

[imamandadiva]

how clear could i have made this video??? the point is that THE POWERS THAT BE keep joking about it like it is NOT serious but IT IS. and we need not PRETEND and instead be even MORE WATCHFUL. it is NOTHING like what 50 cent said.

[melisashotsout]

God!!... are you mad at me? i'm not joking

about my feeling.

...i guess, i just don't wanta to think another

black leader being murdered is all.

[imamandadiva]

it is very frustrating when you make a POSITIVE message and people misconstrue into something so completely adverse.  DEATH WISH?! that is an insult. your feeling are your own. but the fact is there is nothing progressive about Obama's supporters ignoring the threat and his enemies/detractors joking about his death!When did ignoring reality ever come out good? I am not mad at you but when you don't listen to my words then make false judgments about my intent I take great offense.

[melisashotsout]

...i feel really bad Amanda. can you please

erase my comment about the death wish,

i did'nt mean to cause problems.

[melisashotsout]

... if youre not mad, why didnt you erase

what i ask and i ask humbly.

i guess thats your pay back

[imamandadiva]

huh? I am just seeing these messages. Thank you for apology. I appreciate it.

[favor83]

wow she chewed your ass off! you can't mess

with...

The Diva in her

[melisashotsout]

Hey! Dude!

she didn't chew anything, explained

her video, all of us women can be divas.

[favor83]

'alltheywannadois...murk the homie'

I hope i got it right

[nonewhitegreg]

...this video got me thinking

[nonewhitegreg]

No Hate, just real talk, this song lyrics are

good, but overall it has no heart at all

it seems too rushed, need more emotion and heart

[prettynpinkyathink]

no heart?? the song is a memento, how do u measure?... i'm just sayin'

[nonewhitegreg]

mmmm...point made, crystal clear.

[prettynpinkyathink]

thats wussup! ;)

[freshfromsofia]

hell yeah ..i just hope that s### (somebody kills Obama) never ever happend

[prettynpinkyathink]

of course not, I agree... i'm just sayin it's real

[jayvideo2]

oh lordy you stirring up the controvery spoon

with some real shit goin' on.

Goood Ma!

[eeeitsme]

under ur influences? U don't have

Queen Latifah's name, ummmm,

new skools good, hail to the Diva

[liteskinbro]

[eeeitsme]

[imamandadiva]

pahahahahaha...they got you too huh? Mccain can't even use email. Funny too how the ONLY time this century since WWII that we were attacked on US soil was during Bush's run. McCain is following his steps, so that CAN'T bode well now can it.

[bennystill]

hardy Hahaha... on the email punch line.

looking at your t-shirt, the fact is, your only trying to get your people to vote for him only because he's black..

NObmama.

You Can't hold McCain responsible for what

G.W. Bush did.

[isoulsis]

what... benneystill, voting mccain in office for what reason?

...20 more years of WaR!?

[bennystill]

hey a new urban person.

JMcCain '08 and

maybe,

HClinton '12

[Thyscarface]

very nice track....my request to the diva is: can u put atleast 4 songs that w'll make 1 wanna dance they ass off on yo next album??

[adellman]

video is first class true

[imamandadiva]

ya'll don't forget to come to my new MONTHLY LIVE SHOW at SOB'S on JULY 31ST!!! Support a sista!!!!

[eurydice75]

Good ass points here

[boss1mama]

The video story speaks the true state of mind

of what some really think about Barack Obama

[luvangel330]

Peep the New Yorker Cover.... when it the newest one comes out.

[imamandadiva]

whoaaaaaa SEE WHAT I MEAN!!!!!?!??!?!?! AND FOLKS GOT THE NERVE TO BE MAD AT WHAT I'M SAYIN! THE FOUL PEOPLE ARE DOIN ALL THE TALKING! WE NEED TO RESPOND TO THEIR BOLDNESS!

[eurydice75]

When saw that, i was like thats the Biggest

Insult, the cover: "New Yoker" they really

trying to stop history in the making of the first Black President

[adellman]

Yeah! @ eurydice75 it is insulting,

they trying to play it off,

as sarcasm.

peeps are so afraid, cuz they Know Barack is

change in many ways *hint*

[eurydice75]

Yeah adellman, it's ridiculous!!

we need to protest New Yoker, no buy, no more turning the other

cheek, those days are dead and gone.

we need to stand-up for whats right! protect

are Man Barack Obama!

[earthform]

a lil over-kill, the New Yoker,

poke fun at alot of people, not just Barack.

[eurydice75]

over-kill?? you can't be serious,

... whats so funny about the pic?!

[earthform]

is she implying "whites" are out to kill Barack? i'm not shocked with america's history

of black leaders. but i wonder what Barack

would think after seeing the video would he

a. approve

b. disapprove

c. not care

e. all the above

[imamandadiva]

No. With Jesse Jackson's recent comments it is easy to see that there are many in high places of all colors that want to "neuter" so to speak, Barack's movement and we the people cannot let that happen as it has in the past. The point of the song is as simple as that.

[hollyhoodjoe123]

Someone did a flattering op-piece about you @ hiphopdx(dot)com...

Did you read it?

[imamandadiva]

yea man. he laced me!

[earthform]

You're a good sport Amanda Diva, the way you handle people on the big web,

I really appreciate your input on my comment thxs.

Jesse Jackson i believe, has evny for Barack

[earthform]

"Envy" was meant excuse my dyslexia

[caly4life]

...str8 real talk, this chick got courage !

[point2me]

Yeah! it's bout time somebody's finally speakin/rappin about the truth

on this topic unfolding

[imdarnran]

Fly!

i would like to hear you sing "I shot the Sheriff-but i swear it was self defense"

[mayasfriend]

thats amazing,

cheers for Barack Obama for '08!

[beautifulprincessM]

[eurydice75]

[imamandadiva]

yayy!!! glad you likey:)

[1hiphopdontstop]

question? which artist, in any form

do you have great respect for in their works

of all times.??

Stevie Wonder is to me.

[medottie]

Bob Marley was/is to me ;)

[redtonesis]

tight azz lyrics! mind blowin

[to2much]

Damn!

i luv Windows over Harlem,

but word...whew! tHiS oNe is a hIt!

[varystop]

Wow... u speakin real stuff!

[iseeyalive]

Cool video wow going strong with it for Barack

in'08, i have three more years to go before i can vote, can't now :(

[aaronbrown80]

funny how people judge people but

can't

take it, when other people judge them,

hint @ george

[kkaybaltimore]

OMG I really like this :) :) :)

[1tlcneed]

I like it, deep...

[reddtoneass]

Nice video Amanda, but @ 2:38, Lyn-Don

should've pause that shot much longer than

a 1 sec, that shot is a part big part of the whole definition of the video.

[georgebushnot]

did'nt know you was so brave, this video on foxS newS, you a lil soldier afterall goin'

hard, i thought you was soft, like cottonballs

[imamandadiva]

Thank you i guess. It's funny how folks hide behind fake names but i have songs about gentrification in harlem, fake ass emcees, and do a weekly show exposing truth but people have the nerve to say they thought i was "soft." Unbelievable.

[georgebushnot]

ouch! your welcome i quess.

hey, i respect what you do, i'm just sayin i can tell you did'nt grow up in the hood

[imamandadiva]

Eh, I just take offense to that. Being from the hood doesn't make you thorough. Malcolm, Martin, nor Angela were from the hood, and they're some of the braves soldiers ever.

[georgebushnot]

did i insert my foot in my mouth again,? on my real talk here.

ok Ms. Diva, you're right, being from the hood, doesn't make you thorough

Ay, sorry i miss judge you,

i'm surprised and i'm sure your peers were to, i thought you were conservative

not a liberal.

hope we still cool here?,

i'm subscriber to a real soldiers pg.

i have respects, for all peeps you've list

[1tlcneed]

yo i know you not talkin to me,

but after reading the comments, your real talk is, inserting your foot in your mouth,

you're too judgemental.

real talk, and it makes you sound lame,

not sincere

[georgebushnot]

...ouch and another ouch! not lame just laid back person with real talk everyone judge people,

at least i'm being honest about it.

[1tlcneed]

lol... haah you sound like a conservative...lame, and it's not your name either

[georgebushnot]

thats a slap! in my face.

I'm not a conservative

[1tlcneed]

... hmm, whatever, u could've fooled me george

[imamandadiva]

i accept your apology. i find almost impossible to understand how with the content i've put out anyone could think me conservative. reality is yes, everyone pre-judges people, but the smart ones keep that to themselves until they've seen enough evidence to support their final ruling. saves a lot energy and youtube battles! ;)

[georgebushnot]

okay i feel ya.

i'ma say this one particular subject and after that i'm done talkin, I have no beef with any of your fans,

but Ms. Diva, some your fans need to be tame some are a lil overdetermined especially when not being spoken too, in the first place it's disrespectful when i'm not addressing them

[imamandadiva]

1: the comments do not always come up in order so it is hard to tell who they are referring to.

2: my fans are people not animals they need not be "tamed."

[georgebushnot]

hmm, Ms. Diva, you don't know the half of it.

at first i was'nt going to say anything about, i'ma blast them, referring to:

1tclneed "sona"

e-mail me reduplicating the same stuff said here & calling me a "closet conservative"

it's redundant, can you ask her, to stop

e-mailing me

it's all over and done.

[georgebushnot]

i meant 1tlcneed...what a joke her is

[iseeyalive]

@ georgebushnot: blast this! you are a bitch ass conservative with, no balls!!

and my name is "Jona" get it right!

[georgebushnot]

@ iseeyalive u and 1tlcneed got your blast on,

so stop with the insults lil girls

[aaronbrown80]

I'm not backing Baracks cuz he's black, i'm

backing him for change for better breaks for the people, mainly the people in the middle, middle class amerians suffer trying to support their fam, i'm forced working 3 jobs and it kills my family life with my kids

[georgebushnot]

3 jobs why? what just to buy your kids more stuff:

ipods,mp3s,cell phones, etc. spoiled

[aaronbrown80]

man, shut the fuck up! you don't know me or my family, your dumb lame ass comment of yours, like your name

[georgebushnot]

... u madd man ouch! that truths hurts

[imamandadiva]

Dope. There are many reasons I back Barack. One of which is that for a change, he's a BROTHA FOR CHANGE :)

[aaronbrown80]

Word Up!

[anti2cute]

Barack's voice is so powerful nice touch.

[rise2fly]

Amanda's is startin something Good here!

Shouts out! saw you in Estelle video,

texting ur homes "Ur man's no good 4 u"

thats a real homie 4 ya lol.

[to2much]

you know, my thoughts are: what was Hillary's

point?? anyway, if anything happens bad to Barack...check hillary out first.

[taprapper]

daps! Amanda... you gotta be, one of the worlds classiest! female mc's of all times

[resurself]

so true in your lyrics "fact is, there always a lil bit of truth in a joke

[1hiphopdontstop]

You said it right. going out with a bAnG!

you're a rebel with a cause no doubt,

good lookin-out for Barack...

some haters will never, get it.

[cherrycut]

keep on pushin'! you sure? you an 80's baby

you so old school style :) good

[favor83]

tight ass remix! i must cop!

[favor83]

my bad. tight ass song!

[willensix]

ummmm that was interesting

[meluv79]

I Luv the Lyrics ringin hard n' ur ears

[DaGlowingElement]

Haha thats that good ish! - Already commented on part 2 of ep.23 - but another Big Up doesnt hurt!

I like the fact that your very focused on severe socio-economic subjects, that effect black people, and really and truly, everyone together. Have u been approached by any labels or management since the release of "Life Experience", cause your music is real. :D

[SalimMayweather]

video is cool ..... Amanda is lyrical

[theloveofmoney]

ayo? the african brotha, was'nt

he the one niggas sportin a *Pink* cell phone in one of your earlier video?

[imamandadiva]

yea thats the homie, Sheed. my brother from another mother
