USA President Barack Obama Opinion On Hip-Hop & Rap 2008

hip hop artists talking about how they want to get money is the kind of spirit that drove america to greatness. the problem is how they preach they should do it.

we gt a dumb president doesnt even know shit about hip hop.
Yes it wasnt a bad message for someone who doesnt know anything bout it, when rappers were talking real shit back in the days especially 2pac, public enemy; some of us where listening back in the days but the presidents n the people who have power were not. So he shud be attacking those in power that do not allow real hip hop to be played on tv.
Hes listening to Jay z n kanye west not even chuck d of public enemy. Da dumbest leader

@gregory5626

yup thats it. hes like twenty times better than the "bushes" just because of his attitude.

real hip hop culture contains a attitude which is quite idealistic and hopeful.

i was already expecting a "yo word up man!" after the interview....

greetings from germany

cuz metal sucks huge balls its for weird people who worship satan its all about hip hop and rock

Al Sharpton's views on Hip-Hop and gansta rap with these degrading lyrics being sold to our young people is more straight up than Obama's answer. Sharpton slams these record companies for that kind of corruption.

that wasnt a bad message.. to bad he doesnt know much about the underground.. cause if he did im certain he woulda just said.. hip hoppers just need to focus on underground music lmao

hay all you have to do is sell your soul to the devil right it dont sound like much RIGHT just look at bob dylens facer and you tell me he was young when that went down but we all get old and jay z will be the same way eminem finding that out now it dosent pay to sell your soul and it sure dosent pay to follow this ass hole neather

Look, real hip hop is not what you think it is. What you hear these days is just a bunch of untalented rappers who think theyre good and who are only rapping about girls, money and cars.........thats not what hip hop is about.

no shit he likes hip hop and he got some big ass lips

I reckon Obama would be down with de la soul and tribe called quest and...blackstar.
