Luda should know better than that! We want Obama elected and he is not making it any easier when he uses language that is offensive to mainstream. Obama is running for Pres not superintendent for a housing project!

Just stop and think about what you are doing before you do it.

thanks,
Rob

I think Luda call himself doing good and being supported of Obama,
but you can’t bring the rap diss dialog and be vulgar in the lyrics….
I do understand Luda was just trying to do his part in support for Obama
and nothing is ever wrong with that ,” well sort of” ;… …& #8230;&# 8230; 230;..

This has more to do with Ludacris than Senator Obama. If Ludacris truly valued their “supposed” friendship then he would’ve contacted the campaign and gave them a preview of how he planned to support. This was all about Ludacris starting a street murmur and “let the chips fly where they may”.

Our people perish for lack of knowledge. Why would anyone want to turn the Whitehouse black? If we wanted it a particular color than there’d be no reason for the Senator to run on his “all inclusive” platform. All Ludacris did was give ammunition to the racist and the Republicans. I guess McCain can spend his dollars elsewhere now with Ludacris doing the cheesy and detrimental work for him.

I need to send his butt out to the backyard for a switch!!!

Luda was showing support for Obama, but he should know better than to degrade Hillary and others at the same time. Why would Obama back that? This doesn’t seem like Luda because he usually has common sense. Now he may put out a diss song against Obama lol

Yeah, this article doesn’t include the actual lyrics that were offensive to the other presidential candidates… But having seen them myself, I commend Obama for stepping back from this song, not endorsing it, and striving to uphold his call for UNITY and CHANGE….not ‘beef’ and ’slander’. I’m proud of him for that.

DON’T BE GANGING UP ON LUDA WHEN THE TWO CLINTONS WERE GANGING UP ON OBAMA NO ONE HAD NOTHING TO SAY UNTIL IT HIT THE NEWS THE BILL AND HIS WIFE WAS BAD MOUTHING OBAMA, AND NOW THAT MCCAIN IS DOING IT WE DON’T SAY ANYTHING AND THAN WHEN LUDA IS DEFINDING OBAMA, AND TELLING THE TWO CLINTONS, AND MCCAIN OFF, OH NOW PEOPLE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY. MAN PLEASE GROW SOME.

Let me start by saying that Luda is a rapper and that’s what rappers do, they make a diss record! Maybe he didn’t use the right words in expressing himself, however it’s called a freedom of speech! I admit that some of the things that he said was a little bit harsh but white men are saying worst things about Obama then you could even imagine so what’s the difference here? The difference is it makes Obama looks extra bad! But regardless of what Luda said, some of us totally agree with him but don’t have the heart or the guts to say it! So talk bad about Luda all you want, he said what he said and I hope he doesn’t take it back, and for Obama, he still has my vote!

People have the right to say what they please but we’re not supposed to threaten, or slander each other but in the wrap business it’s been known to happen. I like Ludacris and I love the Obama Family. I’m sure Obama knows that Luda doesn’t intend to hurt him politically but of course he can’t embrace such a song, the President is supposed to stand for liberty and justice for all. I pray that Luda didn’t expect to get accolades from Barrack himself and just know that it’s OK to do you. God Bless them both in brother love, stay positive and focused on both their games.

This is just stupid and utterly ridiculous that Ludacris would write such lyrics. He was suppose to be the positive rapper, the ex radio dj who made it big, has the ludacris foundation, gets to present big time artists at the grammys and represent a clean upstanding version of a hip hop rapper. But this crap right here is horrible and shameful for him to write such lyrics and at a time when we need for nothing but positive comments and media coverage for Senator Obama. If you ask me, it gives the impression that Ludacris is secretly a BLACK REPUBLICAN.

GIVE ME A BREAK,,, ,,(LUDA) ???????< br /> HE SUCKS ASS,,,,,,HE JUST WANT’S TO BE IN THE SPOTLIGHT
ONCE AGAIN,,,

Luda is doing the same thing that 2PAC would be doing right now if he were alive. Its time we stand for something or fall for anything. Obama get ready for a ride of you life babe. (IN DA CITY)

Wow …not another speak before you think situation!!!!! I do wish folks will do a little …just a wee bit of thinking …before they speak. I would never hear his lyrics anyway….unless it’s played in a public forum or something and I just happen to be there……. I don’t support this kind of music. Hopefully there are many others that won’t hear it either. Surely he had good intentio ns… ;… but many good intentions only pave the road to diaster. LETS CLEAN IT UP PEOPLE!!!

BenBen u must not got all of luda records and mixtapes, and tracks where he made guest appeances he a stand up kind of guy but his lyrics never been clean cut he raw and real with his lyrics. u 6 or 7 years too late.

I THINK LUDACRIS IS CRAZY WHAT HE DID WAS NOT NICE, THIS IS A CHANCE FOR A CHANGE AND HE IS TRYING TO MESS IT UP. THAT SONE DESERVE TO BE BANNED AND SHOULD NOT GET ANY AIR PLAY EVER.

Well I think luda is smart enough to know better. So here is another twist. Blacks folks have been turning each other for years. That is how we got to this country in part. So slip this thought under your hat. Maybe the rebulicans paid him to make the track knowing the affect it would have. Wouldn’t be the first to we have sold each other out for a dollar.

We must understand that not everyone will voice their opinion the same way. Mr Luda… Is just saying what many of us are saying on this site , As a young Black man who has been frustrated by this system Luda has the power to speak and say what others only wish they can do. Mr Obama has to object to Ludas thoughts because he is on a diffrent playing field. Even if he did agree with most of Ludas words

hey mccain is collecting too old to work ssa
and too disbled to work vet benefits
two pay checks that say i cant’ do it any more
and he’s hoping to be in charge of the whole country. and get a third check says he can.
is nt this example of the exact problem that misuses affirmative action for the disabled ?

also
check out aol poll last choice on the hot seat winning.
http://news.aol.com/political-machine/straw-poll
and by the other poll this IS GOP fans.
yikes.

Good analogy Chuck! After all other Africans sold Africans into slavery!

On the other hand maybe Luda thought he was giving props to Obama, just by doing what he does….entertaining.

The fact remains good or bad…..positive or negative…someone WILL buy it.

I mean come the F*** on!!……Can we get in office 1st before we try to mess it up!! Thats all the white folks need to see and hear us actin a fool so they can say “if we let that N*****” in office this is how there gonna act”? We cant give them that! Come on black people, can we just keep quiet and relax until we get in office then we can put it all out there! Luda should have known better! That was a N***A move fo sho!!! We need to be better then that right now…..we havent got there yet!!! This is the perfect example why “OPRAH” does not support our HIP HOP community! Yea I know most dont care about Oprah, but she is the richest BLACK human bein in the world and she’s not even backing us up!!! And this is the perfect example why! Remember “A STEEL TONGUE CARRIES A WISE HEAD” …& #8230;&# 8230;thi nk about it!

Luda…a rapper. You already have negative critics against you in mainstream America. Like the others have said Obama is running for president of the U.S. Instead of making a song, help him out with campaign money or SPEAKING positive about his in local communities and make sure people are registered to vote, and jusrt being you, you have a somewhat influence on how people may vote.

People this is freedom of speech .Is this the american way?Here in the state we rule a democratic world,and what luda is doing is nothing but FREEDOM OF SPEECH ,or this issue is all about a black person doing a song and a black person runnig for president?

TO MARK GILBERT!!! Hilary’s job and mcaains job was to defeatt obama kuz there goin for the same position. Luda job was to help support obama but he’s actually Hendering him now!!! Ask ya self who did Luda help by making that record!!!! PLUS HELLO!!!!! WE ARE THE MINORITY!!! WE CANT DO WHAT THEY DO BRUH!!! WE ARE STILL LIVING IN A RACIST ECONOMY!! AND THE SAME WAY YOU THINK IS THE SAME WAY LUDA THOUGHT AND LOOK!!! NOT SMART…….YOU NEED TO GROW UP!

THINK ABOUT IT YO, WIT YO SIMPLE ASS!!!

White people are going to use Kwame’s problems in Detroit against his mother’s bid for another term in Washington! They will use anything against us. Too bad Kwame didn’t think about anything or anyone except opening his fly. The ramifications will have on his mother’s career inWashington will definately be used to oust her of her seat!

If you’re making the kind of money Luda is making then you would assume that he has enough money to be intelligent enough not to do some things. Its this kind of crap that messes it up for everybody. We just can’t win for losing can we?

Really? hard to believe.i heard this news times from many friends playing on a tall dating site ___Tallmingle.com___,i did not believe, i think that they are know nothing but dating and love.
i am wrong.

I don’t reallty care what Luda said in his song cuz that’s all it is…a song for pure entertainment.. it’s not like Obama wrote the lyrics, why did anyone expect to “back” Luda up? With all the confusion about controversy w/ Gov Patrick and Jesse Jackson who even cares about what a rapper has to say? I don’t wanna hear any songs on the radio regarding politics. Although I did hear a song with an ill ass beat by Movado singing about Borak “making a change” and I gotta admit I didn’t listen to the lyrics but the music was fire!!!

This is not a battle, its a war! You win it one battle at a time, no more no less. This is quite a bit more complicated than who can diss who the hardest. Anything too strong and you look callous and malicious to the American public. Obama must always distance himself from anything that could hamper his White House quest, PERIOD!!!! Remember in real life (just like in the entertainment business) people put on a good front regarding how “tough” they really are. This is nothing but tactics and all those utilized by Obama have to be carefully chosen 24-07-365.25 YA HEARD!!!!! He ain’t tryin’ to become the next chief of police, the mayor, the state treasurer (he’s already an Illinois senator) no, no, no, no!!! He is after the PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! !!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! !!! Something no man or woman of color has ever done before. Luda can piggy back on something alot less significant and still get his paper, pleeeeee eeeeeeee eeaaaaaa asssssss ssseee!! ! Don’t f*ck it up man…..

I haven’t heard the song so I can’t say much. I think that sometimes people in a position like Luda want to tell the world how they feel and they don’t care if it offends anyone. I think that he wants those he talks about to be offended by their own actions not so much his words. Like I said I haven’t heard it so I really can’t say, but the one thing we need to remember is that there is a strong need for change all across the board we need to do our best to see those changes not hinder them

Honestly, who cares? It was a song about Luda’s views on the political climate in this country, and Barack is supposed to distance himself from the song. Luda does not need to contact the campaign for clearance to produce a song, are you serious? I’m a huge Obama supporter, and am a fan of Luda, and the fact of the matter is that this is another one of the stories that is negative and shouldn’t have been published by BET. Why are we getting upset with stuff and posting inflaming remarks to others about the way things are going in this country. If you support Barack, vote for him and convince others to vote for him that may be leaning toward McCain, or don’t have any intentions on voting. Never before am I glad and proud that I’m 28 and not a part of that BET culture. This story is asanine and does not help push the message of the Obama campaign. When according to the LA Times, 72% of news stories on the Obama campaign are negative, BET sure the hell adds to it.

Mark Gilbert..I’m not late on Luda, believe I know all about luda, hell his first single was about a females poo-nanny, you rememer the song “that fat rabbit”. However, you cannot deny that Ludacris was so call representing a positive rapper, he was getting all these major endorsements and even about to be inducted into the music hall of fame from what I heard this morning over the local radio station. You saw more of him giving speeches at the Grammys all decked out in a nice suit instead of baggy jeans with his undies showing, hell he even cut those braids off to give a cleaner look. So he did do a 360 to write and rap such crap when its not needed right about now. like my grandma says, Shame on You, Shame Shame Shame!!!

keep rapping LUDA. pretty soon Obama is going to wind up denouncing everybody and anybody who he feels offends white people.
He needs to show the courage and start denouncing people like Ann Couletr, and Chris Matthews and Bill O’Reily.

where can i hear this song at?

While Obama does not endorse the song, and I have not heard the song to date, I bet the lyrics are TRUE!!!! In the race of his life, Obama can not support the song….even if he agree!

I personal understand the message that Ludacris lyrically tried to employ through the minds and perspectives of the voting people. Like everyone acknowledge, a man has the divine and human right to speak his mind. Ludacris being a rapper chose to lyrically depict Obama as a presidential hero instead of a waste of time….George Bush on the other hand being belligerent and supercilious put America in a bind that Ludacris feels that only Obama can perspire us from. Obama has the right to his opinion, but in the eyes of that one rapper Ludacris feels that Obama is a hero.

really now, I find it hard to believe that Luda would make this record and no one knew about it before it reached this point. I find it hard to think that Luda would find the lyrics acceptable… find the lyrics to be so great that Obama and his camp would use it as their victory theme song at thwe convention- is that what Luda thought??? Was he attempting to smoosh Obama to be the White House’s resident DJ or something??? What was Luda thinking. Show your support in a positive way by donating money to the campaign or by spending more time in his own foundations. Leave the politics to the politians and allow Obama to fight the good fight - without speed bumps.

black people are useless i swear- so he made a song- why do you allow media to dictate to you what is news. He raps(freedom of speech) and Obama has nothing to do with it. Maybe im different but people like you clowns on here worried about trivial things like these are who fuel media propaganda- idiots!!

First off most Ni–as in the rap game don’t think about the s–t they say in the first place. If they did then they wouldn’t say half the dumb s–t they say in the first place. Yeah this song is stupid and the GOP and the sly fox media are already on it because why? Luda been in the cross hairs for a minute, still respect to Luda for the attempt, no matter how wack it is cause it is, like Luda. But it won’t matter what Luda or Nas or anyone says if we don’t vote. We see this as something big but big starts at home. Ni–as killing each other over disrespect and they don’t have a clue what respect is. I would love to see Obama win if for anything so my Grandmother can see where this country once was and where its at. With Obama in the white house we have no more empty excuses about not having role models since these fa–et ass rappers are to cool to be what some young kids look up to while they promote that garbage. By the way, when did it become cool to look up to ni–as in jail or put the ghetto up in the sky as a place to get to to get respect and show you made it?

Think before you act̷ 0;… ;… …h mmmmm

Well, what we have in both of these cases~ Obama/Luda and the Kilpatrcicks is a lack of consideration. Ludacris knows that Obama is making history right now, he knows he needs the support of people who love the Clintons as well as Bush supporters and independents who go either way, so why would he jeopordize those possible votes. If Luda had beef with Bil O Reilly off of Fox news the same news organization that attacks Obama, didint he think that they would be listening closely? Obama suppoeted Luda because Luda has given back to the community, etc., so Luda was inconsiderate, a low down dirty bastard or a freaking imbecile/idiot!! You decide!
]The Kilpatrick saga~ well, I am a Detroiter and there are no jobs here. Detroit is isolated and being further isolated because of the nonsense going on. None of the suburbs respect Detroit, most of the local city leaders dont respect Kwame. The city council and the mayor cannot agree on anything. He is now being investigated for shoving a Wayne County sheriff here. I live in Wayne County, Detroit, Michigan so I can honestly say there is no progress going on here. The governor does even know hat to do wiht the situation! So Carolyn, being his mother and a rep for our district should have had a heart to heart with her son a long time ago! In that conversation, she should have explained to him that you only get one family name and with a name should come honor, not reproach! He giving no regard to her, his wife, kids, us , the taxpayers, she should have told him to resign for her and his sake! She is his mother and if he is a sorry -low down person what can you say about mother? The apple doesnt fall far from the tree is a old line that she could have thought about also. The name Kilpatrick use to mean something before Kwame tarnished it.

That was very ignorant for Luda to do …. he jus made us look bad..y cldnt he make a rap that wasnt disrepectful but uplifting for Obama and his supporters. He just gave verification for Mccain’s new dumb ad’s he made about Obama. I am dissapointed. He made Oprah say…”See what I told yall!”. That really was bad timing with those new ad’s that Mccain has out with Obama with Brittney Spears and Paris Hilton.

I wish that at some point our race would understand the consequences to our actions. I sat our actions becauce no matter what one person does or says it is some how linked to everyone. If you wish to HELP someone consult them prior to acting. Even though Obama did not say any of the things on the track. We all know he was surley going to be blamed in some part for it……..

BYRO—-SHUT UP…i heard about the song that Luda did from the White ladies on the View…so these “lil trivial things” do matter!!!

I find it insulting that Obama has to answer to every little thing that comes out of every black persons mouth caught on tape. Ludacris is Ludacris and nobody should have expected anything less from him. I am a huge fan of, and respect both of these intellegent, strong, success men. I only hope that they don’t allow this media hype pit them against each other. Rememeber united we stand, divided we fall.

Luda, Obama I love you both!!!!!
Keep up the good work.

BTW- I bet Obama bump that Luda in his IPOD but of course he can’t admit that to the world.

You know when the true is been told about White America we have to bite our tongue or dance around the facts. America has not change, I love Obama and i think he will our president. I still love Ludacris for been real to the game forever. As African-American lets stop been scare when we speak the true. President Obama will have much more false true to come before and after the election. Vote Obama 2009. And both of these gentleman are my Hero.

lea
cause is people like you, THE VIEW” lol i could care less what they have to say. But sad to say you do.

I THINK LUDA ATTEMPTED TO REACH THE MASSES OF BOTH SIDES. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT FINE LINE THAT DIVIDES THOSE SIDES WAS A LITTLE UNDERMEASURED BY LUDA. OBAMA HAS RAN A FLAWLESS CAMPAIGNE AND IS NOT ABOUT TO SEE IT BLEMISHED BY ANY MEANS. THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TRIP HIM UP FROM A TO Z SINCE THE REALIZATION OF HIM BEING THE NEXT PRESIDENT BEGAN. HE HAS FAR TOO MUCH TO LOSE. WE HAVE FAR TOO MUCH TO LOSE. WE CAN NOT TAKE ANY CHANCES ON ANY FOUL PLAY EVEN IN THE MOST SUTTLE WELL MEANING FORMS. LUDA, ITS A NEW DAY FOR THE AFRICAN AMERICANS. BUT THAT DONT MEAN HIPHOP HAS TO CHANGE ITS BRUTAL TRUTHFUL ASPECT TO IT. LETS GET MORE CLEVER WITH IT. A HIPHOP RECORD REGARDING OBAMA IS NOT ONE OF THE SAME AS THE USUAL 5 MINUTE 1 TAKERS. WE GOT TO GO MATHEMATICLY WIDE ON THIS ONE!!! LACED WITH THOROUGH UNCOMPROMISING INTELLECT AND SPRINKLE IT WITH A DASH OF THAT CLEVERNESS THAT ONE CAN ONLY GET FROM THE HIPHOP PLATFORM. FEEL ME?

GROWN MANS GAME IS THE NEW ALBUM, GET IT UP!!!

ALL LUDA IZ TRYING TO DO IZ HELP

HTTP://W WW.MYSPA CE.COM/V ALIKAAAR

thats real talk sir. the realest i read here today. Its a matter of knowing what were up against not attacking something because of the propaganda machines. LEA!!

man luda was speaking his mind about what he thought was right man nun of yall should be hatin on luda for what he said because the things he said were right about them bush is handicapped because he put us through some of this stuff america is going through as one of my favorite songs say hihater

I understand Ludacris is trying to show support for Barack Obama but releasing an offensive track about Obama’s rivals will only hurt his chances of becoming our first black president. Ludacris needs to show support only by going out to vote for Obama. These are fragile times and all of Obama’s supporters have to be very careful.

I LOVE LUDA BUT THERE IS A TIME AND A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING, AND THIS WAS NEITHER. OBAMA PRIDES HIMSELF ON TAKING THE HIGH ROAD AND BEING THE BETTER MAN, HE DOESNT WANT TO SUPPORT A “DISS” RECORD, I KNOW HE DIDNT MEAN ANY HARM AND HE TOLD THE TRUTH, ITS JUST THAT IT DOESNT HELP HIM̷ 0;… ;… …& #8230;&# 8230; 230;

aaaahhhh whatever…HIP HOP IS OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH! GET OVER IT! It is sad that Obama has to answer for every little thing. Stop hating America!! Luda is just stating how he feels… he didn’t say he was trying to help Obama’s campaign!! Get over it people! Stop Naggin’!!!

Luda, you have been a young man whom I thought had great potential; that somewhere in life you would do something significiant to change the rap industry. Your are getting older and it is time to wise up. Let your spirit lead you. You have been called for great things, don’t let it pass you by. What belongs to Obama belongs to Obama and what belongs to Ludacris belongs to Ludacris. You “figadillme”.

LOOK. PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE WHAT THEY WANT. BUT YOU CAN BELIEVE THIS AS SURE AS DEATH AND TAXES. SENATOR OBAMA KNOWS WHERE WE COME FROM AS A PEOPLE. HE IS FULLY AWARE OF THE STRUGGLES IN WICH ARE LACED IN THE FABRIC OF OUR LINEAGE OF AFRICAN AMERICANS. DONT THINK FOR A SECOND HE DOSENT. IF YOU BEGIN TO UTTER THE UNWARRANTED THOUGHT OF SUCH, REMEMBER HOW INDEPTH YOUR INTELLECT MUST HAVE TO BE TO SET ASIDE WHAT YOU KNOW THEY HAVE DENIED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THEIR TREACHEROUS BEHAVIOR, NO MATTER HOW BLATANT THE FACTS ARE PLAIN TO SEE, CONQUER EVERY CAUCASIAN CANDADITE IN THE DARKNESS OF THEIR DESPARATE ATTEMPTS FUELED BY …….”WE CANT HAVE A $~*#$$ IN THE WHITE HOUSE APPROACHES”, ……IN THEIR ARENA ON THIER TOPICS AND IDEAS, WHILE BOBBING AND WEAVING THE DISGUSTING TACTICS OF TRAPPERY AND FOUL PLAY THEY HURL EVERSO-RELENTLESSLY AND STILL KEEP COOL. AND NOT LOSE YOUR STROLL AS A BLACKMAN IN AMERICA. CHECK OBAMA OUT AND YOU WILL SEE HE LITERALLY STILL KEEPS HIS STRIDE THAT RESEMBLES OUR FATHERS,UNCLES AND GRANDFATHERS WHEN THEY USED TO BE IN A GOOD MOOD WHILE WALKING TO THE STORE. THIS MAN IS WHAT WE NEED TO REFERENCE TO WHEN THE FLASH OF GETTING HUNG, BEAT, DRUGG DOWN THE STREET BEHIND VEHICLES AND SPAT ON JUST FOR TRYING TO GAIN 1 TENTH OF THE INTELLECT HE HAS NOT ONLY ACHEIVED BUT DISPLAYED IN SUCH A BEASTFUL BATTLE TO BRING US WHERE WE AS A COUNTRY DESERVE TO BE. REAL TALK THOUGH.

JEZZY NEEDS TO GET HIS MIND RIGHT. SUPPORTING MC CAIN?

COME ON JEEZY!!!!

what was Luda thinking?

Luda U R Right about every single word in this track
U Got My Full Support

byro:

F U C K YOU!!! AND YOUR WEBSITE

Thanks kinda crazy he would do that but emotions run high and can get in the way. Anyways the good stuff’s here…..

http://www.myspace.com/sofreshproductions

hello, i am responding about the statements that were made in his song , i am not understanding why nlack people always have something to say we have came a long way in this life. i just hope that this does not affect sen,obama’s campain.

although, that wasnt helpful to obama’s campain Ludacris had a point I dont care the track had alot said, i think that if obama gets elected which I want someone will hurt him in some kind of way whether its verbally, or physically he might get assainted . If Ludacris hadn’t made that track most of the people wouldn’t have heard whats good.

by the way, i support obama all the way along with ludacris They got my Full support, and if obama gets elected this might just lead us to another world war or maybe even segregation again. or this might just change the war

By the way, Im supporting obama all the way along with Ludacris but Obama being elected might just lead us to another World war or segregation, Obama might just make history and change the world. He should think about the consequences to the first black male president

By the way, Im supporting obama all the way along with Ludacris but Obama being elected might just lead us to another World war or segregation, Obama might just make history and change the world. He should think about the consequences to the first black male president

I’m not going to beat up on Luda, the government ordered us the right of
freedom of speech&# 8230; 230;rapp ers do it……..blacks do it…….whites do it……all
races of people do it……..we all have our own PERSONAL opinions and
Luda has his. I agree to everything he says……and I’m still going to vote
for Obama……no, he didn’t mean any harm to hurt anyone…….just to be
aware of the situation that’s happening 4 REALR 30;̷ 0;.belie ve me, you, things
are being said about Obama that would make you want to start a riot…..
you just don’t hear themR 30;̷ 0;… ;.at the end of the day…..YES 4 Obama……..
YES for Luda

Luda is very intelligent but on this particular move he didn’t think too much of the consequences… Stop playing in the hands of the haters….it’s time for Luda to grow up and spit some rhymes on something that will prove to be productive. Freedom of speech yeah …I see that but in my opinion it wasn’t a smart move….Obama faces enough negative vibes, news, comments, you name it as it is….sometimes intentions that were meant to be good are not always received as such!

Luda made the song to support Obama the way he knows how. Props to Luda for the support. But, just because Obama has gotten to this point, the game in politics is hasn’t changed. So whatever ‘we’ do or say is going to be taken misconstrued and used as ammunition against the campaign. Everyone is watching. I love Luda and Obama, but, because we’re under so much scrutiny we need to watch our backs - as usual.

Have u guys noticed that on every comment page there is someone talking about this tallmingle.com dating site and they know nothing about dating or love?!!!!! Dang i am so tired of reading that…. I thought this was BET’s website, and i see that everytime it never fails!!!!!

that song iz crazzzi..enough said….

THE SONG WAS DIVISIVE , THE LYRICAL CONTENT WEAK. LUDA HAS REALLY DISAPPOINTED ME. WHITE PEOPLE ALREADY ERRONEOUSLY THINK THAT WE WANT TO DO TO THEM WHAT THEY DID TO US. WHEN YOU SPIT LYRICS THAT SOUND LIKE HATRED ALL IT DOES IS REINFORCE THOSE THOUGHTS. AMERICA IS ABOUT COMING TOGETHER NOW, WE CAN ‘T TOLERATE IGNORANCE NO MATTER WHAT RACE. LUDA DIDN’T THINK ABOUT THE COMMON BLACK MAN WHO IN THIS ERA OF SYSTEMIC INEQUITIES HARDLY HAS A CHANCE. OBAMA MIGHT BE ABLE TO BALANCE THINGS BUT NOW HE IS THAT MUCH FURTHER FROM BRINGING MORE LOVE AND PEACE TO A SITUATION THAT HAS SO MANY COMPLEXITIES. I KNOW SOME OF US ARE ANGRY AND HURT THAT WE HAVE BEEN MARGINALIZED. OUR CULTURE SOMETIMES CARICATURIZED BUT NOW IS THE TIME TO REMEMBER THE WORDS OF AUDRE LORDE “WE CAN’T TEAR DOWN THE MASTERS HOUSE WITH THE MASTERS TOOLS” IN OTHERWISE WE CAN’T BE HATEFUL, IGNORANT, BIASED AGAINST OTHERS, WE OF ALL PEOPLE KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO BE CALLED NAMES, SPIT ON, KILLED, HUNG, LEFT OUT OF THE JOB HUNT, THE HOUSE BUY. IT IS TIME THAT WE SHOW PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY IN OUR EFFORTS TO PROMOTE EQUITY FOR ALL PEOPLE NOT JUST BLACK PEOPLE. AND THAT MEANS THINKING ABOUT THE WORDS WE SPEAK, WORDS OF HATRED ARE NOT OK TOWARDS ANYBODY! LUDA, I BEG YOU PLEASE, GET A COLLEGE DEGREE AND YOUR RAP LYRICS WILL EVOLVE EXPONENTIALLY.

Now we can’t be so hard on Luda. Kanye West brought it out !st when he made the track “George Bush Don’t Like Black People”.Nobody had anything to say then.Luda is glad a there is a change trying to be made.He shouldn’t hv said those things abt Sen. Clinton bcs i wld actually prefer her to be president due to she is the 1st lady president.But we shouldn’t down talk Luda for his well being.

What do you people want??? First it’s the rappers are to hardcore, they do not like the lyrics. Now it’s they are trying to stay away from this one or that one at least they are doing something postive and making the public look at politics.

Luda my boy but that wasn’t a smart or supportive move. They stay on Obama a** and publicize every small/big thing that has sumthin’ to do w/him so Luda should have thought that one out.

Luda is just like a lot of Rapper vulgar and nasty they change when they have kids and they get old enough to listen to there junk.

It is nice for Luda to want to show his support. Lets think for a minute. I wonder if he could have made the song without the profanity. It is nothing wrong with dissing the other side, but lets show them that we can be dignified. After all the brother is running for president. Lets show some class and respect for that office that we want him in.

I am glad that this has sparked so much passion out of people, but let’s remember a couple of things first…
1. ALL rappers do NOT write “diss” raps. There are too many clean rappers out there that have held up the banner for years, so you can generalize and put all rappers in one category.
2. Senator Obama has been running an extremely DIGNIFIED campaign and if we TRULY want to support him, then we will follow his lead… Luda should be able to write a rap to support Obama, but in a POSITIVE manner. If a singer/songwriter wants to write a song to support, do it in a POSITIVE manner. We have to show the rest of the world that Presidential Hopeful Barack Obama is all about POSITIVE change…and he can inspire a world to be POSITIVE with him… Follow Senator Obama’s lead….don’t get sucked into old school politics…it’s not do what they do time… it’s time for change.

I do hope that Luda will write another rap and show everyone that he can do more than disrespect and get his point across in a positive way…

It seems as though it is getting worse and worse with OTHER people making it hard for Obama. If he were to actually make a mistake himself he doesnt have room for error becasue everyone else has already kept him on the hot seat. He has been defending himself from what others have said and done since he has become a presidential hopeful. Give the man a chance to make his own mistakes, stop making them for him.

I agree with both sides of all arguements, except the ignorant ones. I have not heard nor read the lyrics however, as black people we know that we are all grouped together as one. What one does or says then the world thinks we all agree cause were black. Now with Obama and Luda have a friendship it appears, even though it is not true, that Obama supports the song and its lyrical content. Remember Obama and the Pastor from DC. GUILT BY ASSOCIATION PEOPLE….!!!!! Think before we speak.

Who cares what all u hypocrits think!!!! Go Luda 4 saying pretty much what all of us are saying behind closed doors! As much as Obama and Michelle got slandered for every little thing that they do! For all the times we got overlooked in very serious racist attacks against us! For all the Sean Bells that got treated as nothing!!! Thank you Luda!!! As a rapper as a U.S citizen You used your freedom of speech just as freely as these white folks have every since Obama began the race!! We are not inferior!!! Go Luda!!! Obama 08′ I know he’s secretly smiling at this one too!!!

I agree with Luda, for once a rapper has stood up for something other then cars, money, and ho’s. Good for you Luda you remind me of rappers from other countries who actually rap about politics and what’s happening in their world. I’m proud of you Luda for standing up for what you believe in. PLEASE KEEP IT COMING, shake up these people in America with the truth. I think Obama had to denounce Luda, just like he has to denounce everything else, because he has to win everyone’s vote. So he has to cater to everyone in America. Did anyone peep how Obama is treating black people like he don’t want to shake their hands or talk directly about black issues?

LUDA WHAT HAPPEN? I THINK LUDA GOT CAUGHT UP IN THE MOMENT AND JUST LOST IT, HE DIDN’T REALIZE MOSTLY EVERYTHING HE WAS SAYING. OH MY GOD, LUDA U MUST HAVE BEEN HI, I MEAN REALLY HIGH.

I like the song because rap music do what it does. But personally, I think Luda should have drop the song when Obama becomes President first. I say let the man get in the White House before we bring out all the hard core real deal songs. It’s gonna be plenty more because this is American and this is how it’s done. People turn to music and say what ever that’s on their mind. That is what it is…
Y’all know y’all like that song so stop hatin. But on the real, we need to get Obama in office first. We go hard now and laugh later….
Go vote!!

OK ENOUGH IS ENOUGH IM SICK AND TIRED OF EVERYTIME SOMEONE EXPRESS THEIR FEELINGS ABOUT THESE POLITICAL JERKS OBAMA HAS TO “DISTANCE” HIMSELF FROM THEM. THEY CAN EXPRESS THEMSELVES HOW THEY WANT I KNOW HE’S NOT DISTANCING HISSELF FROM THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS!? POLITICS ARE SO DIRTY THEY MAKE PEOPLE NOT WANT TO VOTE AND OBAMA KEEPS TRYING TO PLEASE THESE POLITICAL JERKS HE’S GONNA LOSE A LOT OF SUPPORTERS!

well said JaiMeke.. (up until the Oprah part-she be trippin) but Luda shldv waited to put it all out there like that.. why couldn’t he wait til late Nov or Dec? he could not have thought that what he was saying would help Obama’s political stance in anyway

I am somewhat surprised by what many are saying here. Let me get this right, basically no one can say anything negative about McCain or Clinton, even if it is true, because it will hurt Obama??? Listen and know this if you know nothing else about this election: Anyone that gives the excuse of what SOMEONE else has said as a reason not to vote for Obama; was not voting for him anyway!! Wake up people. Many people will NEVER admit publicly they won’t vote for a Black man, or half Black man in this case, but when it comes time to be all alone in that poll booth, their sense of supremacy will spring up. Ludacris can say whatever he wants, about whoever he wants, in the manner he wants. PERIOD!!! Ludacris is not on Obama’s payroll or the Republicans. So, what he says is his and his alone. Why does he even dignify this idiocy with a reply?? I don’t hear calls for Clinton and McCain to denounce/distance themselves from the myriad of ignorant comments made by white folks, famous and the not so famous. It is the same old story: when a Black person says something distasteful to white America, they go find a negro to denounce him. Wake up!!!!

NADIA:

YOU JUST IGNORANT!!!

I AGREE TOTALLY WITH J-WILL… IT’S LUDAS OPINION, BLACK PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VOCAL ABOUT THE DISPARITY AND DIVERSIVE UNEQUAL TREATMENT WE HAVE RECEIVED FROM WHITE SOCIETY.. SO NOW ONE HAS TO BE SILENT UNTIL THE RULING OR ELECTION IS OVER TO SEE IF OBAMA WINS? WHAT’S GONA HAPPEN IS GONA HAPPEN, IF PEOPLE WANTS TO ELECT HIM THEY WILL, IF THE ELECTION IS THRWARTED GOD FORBID LIKE ANOTHER FLORIDA THEN WE KNOW NOTHING NEGATIVE SAID AGAINST THE CLINTONS, BUSH MATTERED ANYWAY… WIN OR LOSE THIS WILL ALWAYS BE A HISTORIC MOMENT IN OUR HISTORY BOOKS… FREEDOM OF SPEECH THATS ALL IT IS PEOPLE FREEDOM OF SPEECH… OBAMA HOPEFULLY IN 2008….

I THINK THAT WHAT LUDA DID WAS DPLORABLE ., DISRESPECTFUL, AND DOWN RIGHT PRIMTIVE. HE HAD NO RIGHT TO COME OUT OF HIS MOUTH . I THINK THAT HE OWNS THEM ALL IN A HUGE APOLOGY FOR IT ALL.

PEOPLE WAKE UP.OBAMA IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT .HE HAS TO DISTANCE HIMSELF.FROM LUDA. THIS IS POLITIC.

Just like Bernie Mac, Luda could have done better than that. This is serious stuff not for play play!!!

As an emcee I am sick of these rappers giving us all a bad name. Nowadays I’m ashamed to even admit to a lot of people that I rap! We can be more dignified and creative about this!

Ok lets be serious luda isnt the only person to take shots at them he was just sayin what everyone is scared to say and how in the hell did children come to play kids hear and see way worst stuff than that everyday if obama want to be mad at anybody it should be the media cus they take shots at him whenever they can.All im sayin is that obama has to understand all the people that are go0ing to vote for hime are not white and yes they live in the ghetto. If is race is so secure y worrie about a what a man name chistopher bridges says?

personally i respect Luda 4 the song. thats what music is 4. its an art that u can express urself and if he can’t express himself the whats the point in havin such an art as music. don’t get me wrong, i can understand the negative in the song but i also respect Luda 4 speaking his mind and giving us his opinion….

I have to say… I can be pretty conservative on many things…However, even though I can see why Obama and his campaign must distance themselves from this piece from Luda, It is a good rap song. It would be offensive to those he was talking about; however, as far as rap songs go…this is one of the better ones. Luda is going to do what Luda do—he’s not Will Smith.

It will be interesting to see how the media chops this up though. Of all the absolutely vile rap songs out there calling brothers the “N” word the sisters the “H” word etc. Let’s see how this one is rated…

senator obama offers a brighter hope for a better tomorrow. and i think we are a generation that wants change for america so we can lead the world with the example counter to what “john mccain more of the same” can offer. obama is runnung for president of america not just black america, we have to hold the commentary so that he will have a shot at attaining the presidency so in politics you have to distance yourself from that which make one look petty
i still support obama and luda

Even if Obama wanted to he could not support the song. Luda your help is needed but in a different way not like that. We need Obama for President and this is the very thing that could STOP him. PLEASE rappers your help is welcomed but don’t use disrespectful lyrics to make your statements. You have a right to your opinion just don’t put Obama in it. I’m sure even if he can’t thank you he appreciates the gesture. LUDA YOU AINT NOTHING NICE YOU GO BOY LOL you said what a lot of us feel.

This is an ego trip by Ludacris. It has nothing to do with Sen. Obama or anyone else. The GOP idiots have nothing good to say about themselves, nor any plans to propose, so they go negative on Se. Obama.
Ludaucris shows that the GOP doesn’t have a monopoly on idiots.

Have yall stopped doing your job since Obama’s run has started? Then why should Luda. OBAMA SHOULD HAVE NEVER STARTED APOLOGIZING IN THE FIRST PLACE! Now he has to apologize for any and everything. This is Obama’s own fault! When you tuck your tale the first time, you might as well keep it there. He should have never apologized for Rev. Wright! Man, I like a good conspiracy theory myself, but republicans paid Luda to make the song? You n!@@@’s is crazy. I like Obama, but men aren’t suppose to tuck their tale when the truth is being told. Yall should be mad at Obama, not Luda. Yall attack Luda for making uplifting truthful music. But how many of yall probably bought your kids “superman that hoe”

Thank you Mita!!! And who are you again?

LUDACRIS - Why do we as Black people continue to stoop so low as always put our foot into our mouths? What happened to positive words to encourage, edify and uplift others? STOP showing how ignorant and stupid you are Ludacris? You owe Obama, Hilary and McCain an apology!!!

REP. Kilpatrick’s Son - What does her son have to do with her campaign? Why should that reflect on her?

First, i’d like to say to Luda. Keep doing you. All these negative opinions of the people on here are wack. This song has nothing to do with helping or hurting Obama’s chances of getting into office. I’m still voting for him. Secondly, Luda isn’t the Devil, but Politics are. McCain, Clinton , and the media will do anything to cast a negative light on Obama’s campaine. Even if it means taking a song written by someone not in politics to discredit him.
Obama wouldn’t back it up, even if he agreed because of what he’s trying to do. And that’s become the 1st Black President. So, if you thinks that this song hurts Obama, then you must be Republican.

I’m responding to a couple of comments on here. One of them is from someone who mentioned how “..white people don’t distance themselves from other white people…” I, ofcourse, don’t know all ‘white people’ but from what I’ve seen/heard in “real life” and in the media… some whites WILL distance themselves from other whites for various reasons. Race is deffinitely a reason. Let’s be honest, white people can not get away with racism as well as other ethnicities. They’re were plenty of people “distancing” themselves from Michael Richards after he made his insane comment, as well as using the “N” word during his standup. etc.
The other comment was from someone who said “whites can say whatever they want and blacks can’t…” or something to that effect. That simply isn’t true. Not only do they have to distance themselves from other racist whites (I’m basing this opinion from my Own experiences) but they have to be CAREFUL with what they say. What white person can get away with saying whatever they want?? What crack head believes this sh!#?? I’m a multi-ethnic woman (filipino, native american, european) and even I have to be careful. Again this is based on my Personal experiences, but unless I’m black, I can’t ever say whatever pops into my mind. I have to be VERY careful, if I don’t want to get fired, or get my @$$ beat. I have these coworkers and they happen to be black, and they get away with saying the most hateful stuff.. “I hate white people” “Which *side* are you on… white or black??” and it’s uncomfortable to say the least. And it’s not like I go around saying prejudiced things…. I don’t agree or disagree with them because I wouldn’t get away with it. I’d get fired. They, on other other hand, say the same sh!# every day and the boss doesn’t say Boo… I, ofcourse, have to be neutral. I don’t expect Anyone to understand what I’ve experienced, but I experienced these things none the less.

Y’all funny,u know what,the truth hurts.If u hurt by what luda said,lick up ya spit.Obama,been tellin’ y’all the truth too.Get up and stand up united,4 together ‘yes we can’.Which ever way it’s all but the truth,and,the truth will set y’all free.
If anything,don’t hate the players,hate the game.
Let’s help put Obama in dah house y’all,one country,one people,one love,one peace.Holla!!!

I appreciate Luda trying to make a contribution for change but I feel it is not the appropriate time to wave a victory flag or even make a respectable approach in a very critical time for us as a race of people. We are trying to get whats ours thru a Godsend by the name of Obama. Its been a long time coming for us so lets not perpetuate the stereotypes of the ignorants and racists. Lets rise above waddling in the garbage with “them” and lets focus on the big picture.

I am even more proud of Barack for taking the high road and not to get caught up in the hype of things because this affects him even greater in representing “us” in the white house, a chance for ignorant white america to see that we can do more than rap, play sports, and steal… Do your thing, Bruh!!

With comments like that, is why the other races call Blacks Dum that was a BAD rap buy one BLACK man he should put his self in a hole and never come out.

That’s all I have been hearing from white folks for the pass two day Luda. I don’t understand. Obama don’t need you help. You guys are hurting him. Wait until he’s president. You know every time a black celebrity say something white folks is going t believe it. I am still hearing Chris Rock said we are not ready for a black president from white folks!!! White folks don’t want Obama to be black. He has to reject and denounce always every black person. They want to white wash him. Come Luda. You could have waited or made the song without using Obama. You know how Fix Noise is. Double standard and then you put curse words and dissed Hillary when Obama is trying to get her supporters to vote for him. Your timing is off, man.

I am still hearing Chris Rock said we are not ready for a black president from white folks!!! White folks don’t want Obama to be black or want a black president. He has to reject and denounce almost every black person. They want to white wash him. Come on Luda. I love your music butyYou could have waited or made the song without using Obama. You know how Fix Noise is. Double standard and then you put curse words and dissed Hillary when Obama is trying to get her supporters to vote for him. Your timing is off, man.

Well freedom of speech is in the constitution. But where trying to unify the races not divide and conquer. Although racism is still alive they just be concealing it. Like my man Kanye West say. All I can say is that everyone needs to Repent and trust God and if it is Obama’s turn in the whitehouse nobody can stop that. Cause on or money it says In God we trust and I trust in Jesus…….

Ok maybe Luda, Jesse, etc. didn’t get the memo…….
Here are the rules black people as it relates to this campaign. We are being watched no matter who it is…even if you are the average joe, you can easily get lumped as an obama surrogat e…

Rule #1 Shut the F-up. Keep your comments to yourself. Keep your freestyles to yourself. In other words shut the F-up. Not hard to do is it?

Rule #2 Shut the F-up and vote. Get every dam body in your family and on your block out to the polls. Take the day off, drive people to the polls and freestyle that way.

See simple two rules, easy to follow…..

Ok Hillary was talking about Obama!, not to defend Hillary but she had to do what she had to do to TRY and win, BUT look at her ass now for talking that %#?? about him!!!. That don’t mean luda should star talking %#?? he ani’t siiting at the table with them. I see what luda was trying to do but his concept was all wrong. How is that helping Obama???. Everyone talking negative is going ruin it for Obama. Let the man get in office first and what every you want to say about these people say it where it can help them not, not cuz that’s how you feel,get out there and vote and help try to make thing better is your actions to how you feel!!!

Hey all of us know what they I mean Luda come on get over it We as the black people have to stop. The people that are not going to vote for Obama we can not change their minds they are pitaful cause for real if we get Mccain I have no idea what or where this Nation will end up. Some things you can just say whatever this one leave it alone. We need to stick together with Obama or we will be in trouble

Luda ? How could you . But you know

Luda just didn’t really think, bottom line. He should pay attention to the fact that Obama is going out his way to stay away from a smear campaign. No one is going to get him out there like that. I don’t think Luda actually believed this would get Obama’s support as much as he was just practicing his right to free speech. He has a right to his own opinion however he expresses it.I just think he should have left Obama out of it. Not to be demeaning to you Jay, but your comments suggest that you aren’t so bright. I’m not saying that you are unintelligent, but you just don’t come off as being that well rounded. I’m going to vote based on my feelings towards my chosen candidate based on my views and values, but that has nothing to do with the fact that people can be swayed and brainwashed to believe things the way someone else wants them to be. The last four years proved that. I believe that GWB’s first term was a result of some funny business. But his second term was all about dumbA$$ Americans of all races, creeds, backrounds, and cultures allowing themselves to be turned against John Kerry bucause too much about him wasn’t ‘Politically Correct’ enough for them. Very small simple issues such as him (Kerry) saying he supports a woman deciding for themselves whats right for their body. Because he didn’t say that same sex marriage was a disgrace and an abomination. He said he didn’t support abortions or same sex marriages but at the same time people have to be allowed to make their own decisions about their lives. Then Bush came along with his gay hatred and appealing to the holy rollers and poisoned the minds of Americans. Never mind all the positive things that could have resulted from Kerry being elected, he’s wrong for America because he believes in the one principle this country supposedly thrives on. FREEDOM OVER YOUR OWN LIFE!! So the wrong words can be twisted and turned to benifit the wrong people when someone isn’t careful. That’s just how it is. Luda should have thought this over a bit. But I will always be a Ludacris fan. AND I MOST DEFINITELY Support Barack Obama.

Hey luda keep up the good work….FTW !!!!! I hope all U hater get it ….

The one thing that everyone needs to remember is that Obama is white also. So when you (Luda) offend or try to degrade whites, just be reminded that you are also degrading Obama’s own mother. WTH is up with that?! I am a white female and republican but Obama is the only democratic candidate who has ever made me think of voting democrat and that is b/c he just comes off as pure, good values, and a damn good man to me. Luda, you haven’t ruined that for me but may have for other white republicans out there thinking the same way I am. Do you really want this man in office or do you want record sales more? I’m thinking it’s all about statis and sales w/you. Sorry you feel that way about us. Why go there if not about publicity? Yes times have changed….have you Luda? Don’t be a dumbass!

IT DON’T MATTER HISTORY IS IN THE MAKING AND I’M GLAD I’M GONNA BE HERE TO WITNESS IT.THANK LUDA FOR SPEAKING UP CAUSE ALL THE HATERS WOULD NOT HAVE DONE IT AND GO OBAMA

i understand luda is showing his support but although we all hate to admit it. rap is really not popular on the level he got himself into. because rap has a certain reputation, it may be a problem that he did this.

I THINK LUDA SHOULD SAY SORRY TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE HE SAID OFFENSIVE WORDS TO, JUST FOR THE SAKE OF PEACE.HE CAN SAY WHAT EVER HE LIKES AFTER THE ELECTION BUT NOT NOW…….BECAUSE RAPPER ARE WELL KNOWN FOR THEIR OFFENSIVE WORDS.

##@@ all of them let the man make his music, when it don’t sell then the idiot will stop. ENOUGH SAID!!!!!!!!!

I understand that Luda has a message…

But a point can be made without being offensiv e…

We all have to understand that delivery is key. Now we all got offended when Bill Cosby commenced to telling us about ourselves right? Because of the way he said what he said. This is the same thing but the other way around. Black people are not the only race on the planet. You can’t talk that blackspeak to people who are not. You have to communicate in a way that THEY will understand. In my opinion, all controversy aside… I like the song. It is raw, that’s for sure, but it has no place in the political arena. He made some points in the song about voting, something that many black people do not do. He’s got a head on his shoulders and I hate to say it but beyond the young set hip hop the rap part of it does not translate very well. This is the biggest problem. We have to understand we are different because we make ourselves different and other races think of us as different. They said that stuff about rock/acid rock but those are white boys, they seem to get away with that satanic crap that they put out but the thing is you don’t hear all of that negatism about that.

Hip hop is loud in ya face music, everyone does not receive that, they can boldly straightup cold turn the music off when that hard sinister beat creeps in and you want the message heard but it gets lost in the presentation. Telling other people(races) to grow up isn’t the message. The growth must come from the messenger.

I think we have all for gotten Freedom of speech! s we all know other politics are using it freely, the majority of African Americans aren’t aware of what’s going on, and rap and music is a way to be heard about how important it is to vote if we want a change. His lyrics were his opinion and NoT OBAMA’S if we can noticed that then we can focus on Bigger issues in the world instead of Lyrics artist make. We have to be stong if we want an Obama Nation! We have to stick together no matter what, even if you find the song offensive some one else who is into politics get’s the point and it paint’s a picture for them.

It’s time for a Change!

I dont know what the problem is. I think the song is funny. Luda was just expressing his self. So leave him alone.

first.. the previous commentator obviously didnt pay attention to anything he said.. this song did not reflect anything ghetto in the slightest the song was actually pretty good the only thing that i dont think he shouldve done was call Hilary a B…. although alot a people might agree.. but most of what he said was on point.. I pretty sure if you take a poll of the oldest american to the midage americans George Bush will end up in the bottom two for best presidents…But as much as i love an Obama supporter.. mainstream rappers should stay away from endorsements because unfortunately allthough this shouldnt be much of a surprise but rappers endorsements of Obama makes white people very nervous for some reason and in the grand scheme of things those of them that are wavering will give that vote to mccain just because they know he’s white.. where as situations like this leave them guessing as to “how ‘Black’ is Obama?, “How down of a brother is “, when these questions are far from the issue at hand.

It’s nothing wrong with freedom of speech but in this day and age we have to be mindful of how our freedom of speech effects others, especially our very own candidate who is trying to stay free from negativity while running for president. It’s like this… white folks are going to think what they want to think about us regardless of LUDA’s song. Remember white people did not like us because of the color of our skin!… so what we say and what we do will not change the way many white people think about us anyway. We have to change because we can be and want to do better not because we are trying to change how others feel or think about us. Obama is going to have it rough from the white folks once he is elected pres…lets not make it even harder for me. Please people and even more importantly.. Remember to vote.

Let’s not make it harder for Obama.

Correcti on… ;.*Let&# 8217;s not make it harder for Obama!

the only thing i have to say is “I dont care what he says about Obama. He is a black man running for president. And frankly I believe everyone should look at how all this happened. In the first place how did a ex-republician become candid for running as a democratic candidate. I thought black people was beyond wanting a black president and just want a change for the better. I dont like McCain. But i do trust Hillary to a certain point. I’m a black struggling single mom. And something just aint right. Why all of a sudden we finally get what us black people wanted and thats a black man running for president. Again us blacks let the white man give us his choice. And thats how i feel, And the only reason white people is for change its because that are tired of war producing republician. the white people want their kids to come home too. Thats the only reason why we getting what we want because the white man is tired of the white man but at the same time half white Halt black that may have been the only reason why he got in there. I’m sorry we always given in and accepting what the white man allows us to do . i’m sorry i dont trust it. i wanted it but not so much now. I hope we get what we wanted.

Just leave luda alone and let him do his thing!! Thumbs up to luda.

Talk about sabotage…Luda its called commons sense…why on earth couldn’t he make a postive song something that would represent Obama in the right way…maybe he doesn’t watch FOX news among other stations and see how every little thing Obama does or that is associated with him in any little way is used against him to show “America” why Obama shouldn’t be president. I mean every news outlet is taking this song and running with it. If Luda was really an Obama supporter he would have thought twice before putting that song out.

Luda has the right to say what he wants. He is just supporting what Obama is doing. Not trying to hurt his campaign. If you really take notice he is getting the support of he Hip hop community. They have money poor peolple don’t. I think it is a great accomplishment for him to write a whole song about it. When Emenim did it when Bush was runnning for office its the same outcry for the Lower class people. Even the middle class are feeling the effects. That also means Upper class is feeling it to. We all support what Obama stands for and his beliefs. That the bottom line to his message.

We all have a time in our lives where we have what you call “Quality Moments” . Ludacris messed his up. Sure he’ll keep making music and certain folks will lkeep buying it but he had the opportunity to do something positive in history and his immaturity lead the way.

Luda Why!!!!!!! would you say such mess. You know we need Obama so why make it harder then it already is. Stop acting like white folks saying stupid things, you know we cant get away with anything, and we should always want to look better then them. Some one said it right ,he Luda should have checked with Obama camp to see if those words was ok to say, ask do you think this is going to help him or hert him. Lets get POSITIVE my people.

Luda come on dogg!! I know u are smarter then that ,this is the real world u messing with not some diss track.I think Obama can handle him self dont make it look like a stage full of only blacks,that can become a problem.

I really don’t know what Ludacris’ intent was but I do know that he did not help Obama at all. I hear that Obama gave Ludacris a complimlent by
calling him a great talentso maybe he thought he was helping him by dissing his detractors.So please, my people stop and think before you act. This incident is only assuring the other side that they should do all they can to keep us in our, so called, place. What we all need to do is talk to our non-voting sisters and brothers and get them to register and vote for Obama. This is the only thing that can truly get him elected, You can bet that the other side is working on getting out the vote for their candidate and watching everything we do and say to find a way to pin it on Obama and squash him.

McCain is practically hanging himself. Republicans don’t like him they just don’t want Obama. And the only thing that is hurting Obama is dumb ass black folks trying to get in his spot light. Barak is NOT for any race of people he just want to try a new thing. I understand Black people have something to say but MUST learn to express yourself more intelligently if you expect to be taken seriously. Not all black are from the streets and those who escape the streets escape through knowledge; without selling their soul or the soul of their brothers and sisters.

Ludacris churns out the garbage.
I don’t care for Obama either.
I lose more respect for Obama each time that he disassociates with his friends when they get contoversial.
I’m not a fan of the radical Rev. Jeremiah Wright either, but he shouldn’t have been thrown under the bus after the years that he and the Obama family have been acquanted.
Now it seems that it’s politically expedient for Obama to distance himself from Ludacris.
There is an obvious distance between politic ambitions and personal loyalty.

luda is trying to show his Estimation, but He went little bit to far when He mention to pain white house to black. i don’t think that this was Appropriate
thing to say.

Some of these posters are correct in their assessment. To white people this track Luda made is just another reason to not vote for Obama. They will vote for McCain even if they don’t agree with him. Just don’t let a black in office at all costs. I disagree with Renee the single mom who wanted Hillary for president. Apparently America is NOT ready for a woman president she had her supporters but it wasn’t enough. Everyone is tired of how the country has been run that’s a given. Obama is the first person speaking differently. But he has a narrow line to walk. I am proud of him because of who he is and I don’t care that he is biracial. When you look at him you see that he is black. It is inspiring considering the state of black men today. You think white people just let him in? What about some of them believing in what he says? There is no way that there are enough blacks in this country to get an elected official in office just based on one race. He will have to appeal to others also. And those stupid people trying to hold him back with lame excuses that he is muslim… why did that become an issue? 911. Jeremiah Wright a brilliant man who tells it like it is but they don’t like his delivery either. This is another excuse to not vote for him. Who’s the other ex terrorist dude? He was doing his dirt when Obama was kid for goodness sake! Now Luda, and Renee says she can’t support him because white people said it is alright now. How long do we have to wait? You take the chance when it is presented. If it is a chance for you to turn it into some good then that IS good. Ain’t no use pining over Hillary she’s gone. I was going to go for her but once Obama threw his hat in I was there.

i feel that obama do not have to agree with the song. but we as a people need to stop letting people dictate what we say”so call america has this great freedom of speech ‘ either he is going to win or not we cant keep letting white people dictate what we do /*/*/we as blasck always denouncing each other because of what the whit man think . im 37yrsold never seen a white person denounce any one its alway us.go ahead luda do your thing remeber we are in this so call great country america */*remeber we have freedom of speech “thats what they say lol

I find it unacceptable for a whole race of people to have to walk on egg shells simply because Sen Obama is running for president….I hope that Senator Obama does win and become president. Yes, I will vote for him. But guess what.???….he will never be able to bring about the lasting change in the way that has been broadcasted unless he stops running from race and as another person on this forum stated “tucking his tale” every time someone not of color shows disapproval toward someone of color… ……African Americans have been a discriminated and often oppressed people in this country for a very long time….in a way that no other ethnic group has…. (although a close runner up however wd be Jews) Thus, when someone such as a Barak Obama, Tiger Woods, Oprah Winfrey are able to push through the gates, then guess what??? A lot of us express pride and nationalism…. I see nothing wrong with that…. You have to have heroes and hope. Most African Americans are still not apart of the middle class and upper class.. The masses need those heroes and a little bit of nationalism (w/o hatred, of course). Now, perhaps some will say the timing is off for Luda to make his comments and that he did not help Obama….Who is to say that Luda’s comments will not inspire or reach out to a whole new group of youthful people of color that could not be reached by others…. A lot of people still dont vote and have never voted. This is despite a march in Selma and voting rights act. I have a cousin who is well over 30 who has never voted in her life, despite others encouraging her. I can see a difft outreach mechanism such as used by Luda working for her in ways that the other efforts have not….. just m 1/2 cents.

I’m having a problem with pastors, rappers, etc. being belittle because of their opinions. Just because we have Obama running for president, why all of sudden black people must watch what we say. White people say what they want to say about racism and they say it negatively; all they have to say is they are sorry and all is forgiven. I’ve always had a problem with white folks saying they are sorry after making statements about racism; why make the statements in the first place?

A good leader must be like God; no respecter of person.

Rapper don’t know the impact they can have on such. I really feel that Luda was trying to help and went about it.. maybe a little too expressive. Obama hadn’t always said the right things too, when it come to the black community.
It’s time to stop being shady and start raising some awareness!

idk wut the hell goin on but ik that song was TIGHT! HAHAHAHA!. but nah on a serious note, luda shudnt have done it like that, he wasnt right 4 dat…but AFTER elections when Obama dun already won, he shudda ripped somethin like dis on em! lol

Frances Brown….speak the truth and shame the devil. We are such docile people we still don’t believe we are free. When Kanye West said what he said after the Katrina “Bush don’t care about black people” black folk were afraid like we were going to be rounded up and shipped somewhere. In “Beef” rappers are always calling one another out and no one has ever said one word, because it makes money, so why now? And do we really think what anyone says has any power to stop Obama from getting elected, If it is Gods will no man can stop it. The bible was not lying with the written words “My people perish for lack of knowledge”. Luda must have been telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth or they wouldn’t have cared, go Luda, because speaking out brutha could cost you and no one will be there for you, same way no one was there for Arsenio Hall, not even the one he spoke up for. Will we ever wake up?

I, personally like Ludacris, however; I, too, must ask, “What were you thinking”? We are trying to put Senator Obama in the White House, and Black people cannot do it alone.Hiliary still has her supporters, I, for one, would prefer that her supporters vote for Obama rather than McCain, and some people are not going to consider this ,”a song by Ludacris, supporting Obama. It might be considered, “a song by Ludacris disrespecting Hiliary and McCain while supporting Obama.” Ludacris is a very intelligent man, but I don’t understand, “What were you thinking”? We have to stay focused if we want this to become a reality. Blessings.

Ludacris seems to have lost his marbles but then most of these rap artistes are so dumb and illiterate that they are only capable of communicating at a certain level and to a certain class and that’s the difference education makes.

Regardless of what Luda had said in his song…. It should’nt have anything to do with Obama, He (OBAMA) didnt say it nor did he make Luda say it. So if they was to knock Obama for what someone else had said thats because they wanted to do that anyway. Now take a break an think about that… Its like he say she say on the street u cant always put at fought the person that they are pointing the fingure at, RIGHT!!! Cuz most of the time it not he/she fought or it all could be madeup

I think the song it was hillarious and I love Luda for saying all the things that everyone has been thinking. How many times have Jay Leno and all the other nightshow host made fun of bush and McCaine, and they are on T.V., it’s crazy to talk down about what luda said, he just spoke his feelings and the feelings of alot of other people. The only way I think this could hurt Obama is if it starts to intimidate some white people and they start thinking that putting a black man in power will give black people too much power, and their are people already thinking that. Do ya thang boo, I love you and GO Obama!!

MikeyD…….You have no idea what you are talking about. Luda is extremely intelligent and nowhere near being dumb or illiterate. And there are quite a few very educatedrappers out there do your research before you open your mouth sir. If your going to talk down about Luda talk bad about Jay Leno and all those talk show host that make fun of and talk bad about political figures all the time. One more thing, it doesn’t take a formal education to be smart, especially with the World Wide Net just a click away, it takes initiative.

whatever happen 2 freedom of speech does it not apply 2 luda?

I can understand Barack thinking better of supporting Luda’s ideal lyrics and this is a serious time to tighten up, but we weren’t really expecting Ludacris to come out with a marry ole’ political jingle now were we? This is Ludacris’s
style and while we can’t applaud his content in support of Barack Obama, we should still show love for his effort.

All he doing is supporting Barack Obama aint nothing the matter with that!!!!
