LL Cool J Ft. Wyclef Jean - Mr. President [HipHopsHome.com]

[SeasonViolet]

The great republic? my ass...the first thing a republic should do is look after its citizens.

[lastcatamount]

I always come back to this song. This is one of the single most inspirational things I have ever heard and to be honest I would have never expected LL to be the one to create it. It's not just a message to the president, but a message to the american people. It's high time we stop being so selfish and partisan...work for the greater good of all. If anything can remind you of the good that comes out of selflessness it's MLK day. Hurry up America....stop the hatred and banter.

[lastcatamount]

No matter who is in office the same corporations are controlling them. Obama has done OKAY...but he need not any praise. We need to completely reform our election process and the donation abilities of corporations if we want representatives who arent in the back pocket of scumbags like the owners of enron, and all of the banks who fucked us.

[EuLineao]

obama ain't changing shit in the world.. almost the same

[lastcatamount]

@EuLineao its gonna be the same no matter who is in office. As long as the same corporations are around to contribute to campaigns. That's why campaign reform is neccesary.

[anotherD3MISE]

who are those people at 4:26

[Whatyn]

great song a lot of message for the world.

[lastcatamount]

favorite line = "is the pledge of allegience just somethin' ta say? I hope not cos' I LOVE the USA"

[lastcatamount]

I've never really been a big fan of hip-hop, rap, or r&b but ll and wyclef hed a special place in my heart, and I feel this is one of the greatest songs in hip-hop history.

[siloe103]

FINALLY, mainstream(commercial) hip hop with a message to the people, not the same old bling bling bragging, "i got this, you don't" topics, damn i was waiting for the day they would stop talking about bitches, money, killing,strip clubs,$300 bottles of champange

[indycaramel]

For all of you that are wondering what is wrong with Prez Bush. Here is the answer, it is called Bipolar Mental Illness!

[lastcatamount]

You know, with all of the bullshit that he mentions in the video, the saddest bit of information comes right in the beggining. "Approve - 28% Disapprove - 68%"... that means there were 4% (roughly 12 million) didn't give a shit about bush ruining our country.

[tommie233]

look at the new order it is something you need to know this

[indycaramel]

I thik that prez Bush may be mentally ill.

[lastcatamount]

That's most likely a valid thought caramel

[sighedeffects]

I heard a few tracks from this album. I don't understand. Maybe I've been gone too long. Did this southern influence really penetrate the northeast? (this song isn't as country as some of the others on this album) LL could have sat back and let his first few albums cement him as a hip hop legend... now, I don't know . . . and I see a lot of ebonically positive stuff on the interweb about these beats - maybe I should just switch to European and African music entirely.

[anotherD3MISE]

wtf r urambling abtin ur last few sentences?

[chrisdcverbal]

fuck bush he can suck a  meat

[mpk09]

man dis song da shit. i wonder why he didnt make an actual real video with him and wyclef?

[lastcatamount]

this is the real video and the dude playing the guitar is wyclef so you got ll and wyclef in the video so there you go

[mpk09]

i know that..but this is more like a documentary slideshow kind of thing. not a video with them 2 rapping and singing.

[indycaramel]

I think that Prez Bush is the devil!!!Great song.

[JOJOWNz]

i though dis song was gunna be dumb..but its pretty good

[cuteprincess225]

i like it

[gayaznboii]

rather than the beats. I like the lyrics since it seems he researched before he made the lyrics before really making a song out of it. And it seems he got all the points of our Economy and our standards. Like about the market. War. Health. Military. Terrorist and he is talking about all presidents not just bush.

[lastcatamount]

researched? he didn't reseach shit, he's just a concerned american who's actually been paying attention to the larger things that are going on with our nation, hes speaking from his heart and no research was involved...he knows whats going on...does that make him less gangster because he actually cares about our nation?

[sighedeffects]

It makes him a bourgeoisie. He quotes the US Constitution to validate his argument. This document also states that blacks are 3/5 human. But, loving America makes him "more gangster" - since gangsters have been propping up the United States for a century... from the Rockefellers to the Kennedys . . .

[mancunianforlife]

LL is Old Skool and when he puts out tracks like this, he really represents G.O.A.T.

[hoopsgirlpacers]

fuk bush and mccain Obama 4 eva

[mnjr22]

fuck obama and fuck everyone who likes him. what is the world coming to? i thought our country had some since until they elected this iraqi mother fucker. he dont even beleive in go you idiots what r yall thinkin? well see how happy you all are when he takes away our guns and the only ones who have guns are the ones commiting the crimes

[seafoampheonix]

Go Obama! He will make a great president! Nice song!

[bigfred94]

shut the hell up man...dont jinx his success.....

[fsvsdv3vasdvsdvasdv]

WACK

[superbenterprises]

Great song and concept. I believe that both Nas and Cool J's songs both fit their parts... This is a time to pull together, not to further compete.

[sirmeera]

This is a deep song L,I LIKE IT.

[electroxpopxfiz]

OBAMA!!!

[DEMGRINDKING]

[edwy118]

[pattichucka]

This song says it all -I love it. I love LL Cool J - met him in a small dumpy bar in Manhattan 3 years ago - he sat with myself and friends and bought drinks with us - he was so nice.

[shoes1922]

who seen the "if i was president" off chapelles show, by wyclef?

[1badkid1]

sammy7888 u chat the most shit i have every heard

[sammy7888]

And as for the people believing in government conspiracy and governmental scare tactics ... come on ! They have way to much going on to do

such things and even if they do/did ...... better safe then sorry !! And all governments all over the world are freaky and corrupt in one way or another, and the same goes for

every high ranking politician in the whole wide world... politicians only think about themselves they are very egocentrical.

[pattichucka]

Good for you Sammy. . .

[sammy7888]

and you certainly do not need 5-8 cars ... and spending 100000and 100000000 $ of dollars on pointless bling !!

Put your money where your mouth is !!! (follow bill gates example).

And if you feel as strongly about politics as you claim you do ...... Do something about it .... anything !! make yourself heard!

Don't just complain and expect others to do the hard work for you!

[sammy7888]

I do not understand why all famous people feel the need do such things as this ??

And they sing the middle east hates us whats the reason ..... hmmm (the middle east has hated europe/the west for a looooooong time and i think we all know why i will just not spell it out because it's quite obvious and they will always hate us more or less no matter what we do)

Donate 70% of your money to the people that need it ... really need it .... because you don't really need 3 or 5 houses....

[sammy7888]

Nothing to worry about !! haha (watch the world news and you will see there is very very much to be worried about !!)

It's a good song and beat and all that but its kind of a ridiculous lyric and "message" to it.But they are at least "complaining" and showing the both sides have a responsibility and need to hear some truths.

[BobeyLeo]

Wow, LL Cool J is a fucking idiot. He doesn't know the half of anything when it comes to politics. It's obvious due to him making this song. If only everybody knew about real secret society corruption. "9/11, why weren't we really prepared?" lol @ You, "I watch CNN", ah ah ah, LL is a perfect product of governmental scare tactics. The last thing we have to worry about is terrorist.

[stillthekid333]

I really suprised you're able to use a keyboard.

[BobeyLeo]

I'm not surprised that you can't use a keyboard seeing that you've incorrectly spelled your first word that only consist of 2 letters, retard.

[stillthekid333]

Wow! You successfully pointed out a typographical error. congratulations. Would you like a cookie?

Tool.

[BobeyLeo]

I can't believe you actually responded after making yoursef look so stupid. ..and by the way you have 2 more typos in the last one.

[stillthekid333]

your clearly one of the dumbest people walking. Please kill yourSELF. Try graduating from the 1st grade before attempting to be a copy editor on youtube.

[BobeyLeo]

Still can't believe you're responding...

[stillthekid333]

I think making jackholes look foolish on the internet is fun. Can you believe that?

I called you out on the ridiculous content of your initial post and you responded like an idiot. Then you reponded again like a bigger idiot commiting the same offense you charged me with and now to save face you "still can't believe I'm responding"

[BobeyLeo]

Yeah, I still can't believe you're responding, so I'm probably going to continue saying that because nothing you've said so far justifies otherwise.

[ShadowGhost776]

this is damn Youtube no one cares how you spell it dumbass

[BobeyLeo]

lol @ You

[ShadowGhost776]

i lol @ you

[BobeyLeo]

Oh, you too, so I "lol @ You" and then you lol @ Me, oh, that's original.
