B-Rock in the Hip Hop World
What’s the Hip Hop factor for young voters?
by Senior Political Reporter Pamela Gentry
Posted Oct. 21, 2007 – The hip-hop world has granted its rhythm and rhyme to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. The Illinois senator has graced the cover of hip hop’s Vibe magazine, and he’s earned mentions in chart-topping songs by such artists as Common and Ludacris.
Obama is “B-Rock.” …
… And the beat goes on.
The latest hip-hop ode to the presidential contender comes from rapper Rem Stelle. His online video touts Obama as the man for the job, and encouraging listeners to make it happen.
“My people we fail from lack of wisdom/My people in jail it brings division/Division is clearer let’s seize the moment/The world is ours and someday we”ll know it,” he raps.
The song is titled “Young Barack Obama,” and it gives a brief bio on Obama, all set to a slow rhythmic beat. The refrain: “Get your guard up/ I’m ready to start up/I’m a young Barack Obama.”
Obama has welcomed the interest and support of the artists. His Web site has the “Hip Hop for Obama Blog.” Users can log on and share their views about his candidacy, and check out where he stands on issues they care about.
The artists have given Obama a gift. It would be much tougher for Obama to register blips on the “Blackness meter” if hip-hoppers weren’t giving him the high five.
Obama has been critical of the some rappers and hip-hop music in the past, but it looks like it hasn’t discouraged artists from giving him some dap.
The video’s message on brightcove.com, isn’t “free style,” but it offers some free advice: “You better get out to the polls this time baby.”

My brothers and sisters please don’t get sucked into obamas’ blackness and cast your votes in his favor for that reason…I know, I know, but still;
where does he stand on issiues directly affecting
black america? How will he be any different than any other president claiming to have our best interest at heart? We need someone in office who is not afraid to confront the truth! F%&k issiues….The truth is white america has to be held accountable for reparations to black america. This issiue needs to be resolved once and for all. Then we (black america) can move toward constructing our own health care, educational, and lending institutions. If Obama is not addressing this specific issiue…He’s no different from the rest. They all talk good politics….and they live up to the talk. My brothers and sisters, we don’t need good talk; we need action perposed and designed to turn into the reality of equality for black america! We are
the only group owed and not paid and still taxed. If Obama is the man for the job that means he’s the man who can make it happen for blacks…….If he is not willing to stand up to congress and the house of reps on our behalf…SORRY!……He Ain’t The Man……….
