Dissin' is a part of life in the rap game, the hood life, da street ... whatever you wan to call it. He is speaking somone's language and might have even interested him/her to learn more about the beef. Personally, I think it is in poor taste. He has his rights though. I do agree with what was already said in that Obama should not have to apologize for all the black folks that do something dumb to support him. Of course he has to make clear that he does not endorse that message and move on. You know, Luda is speaking to those that listen to that type of music and speak the type of language on a regular.

My thing is everytime anyone says something positive about Obama he has to watch his arse because people take it out of context and he has to ostrize himself from them.

Hmmmmm perhaps that's what they (the other side) wants...something to think about!

So for those old enough to vote...he got the point across. Luda felt he was helping out! For those with his mentality who might not otherwise get out and vote, so be it! We still have freedom of speech! It's time for change and if this song gets a few more voters to the polls to make the change happen, so be it! If you don't like the channel, change. If you don't like the music, change. If you don't like the book, don't read it, change. If you don't like how our country is being governed, CHANGE is in the vote!
