  9. Evil says:

    They still support Obama.
    Jay Z,Nas,Havoc,Kendrick,Snoop Dogg and many more all have voted Obama.
    Have not seen 1 rapper who said he will vote for Mitt.
    Black rappers support Obama cos he`s black.FACT

  10. Your mother's "friend" says:

    Could Obama have done better ? maybe but the truth is the problems this country faces go back for decades so expecting one man to solve them all in 4 years is just ridiculous, even Romney said he’ll need 8 years. Sure a lot of people are disappointed, but a lot of those people are clueless about the real problems this country faces. All in all i think Obama is on the right track, Healthcare reform, climate change, clean energy, Gay rights the Bailouts/stimulus are all areas i agree with him

  11. ROZAYS LEFT TIT says:

    oh hes black he must be the new saviour of the world smh

  17. weak says:

  18. Peekay says:

    Stick to campaigning for MMG

  19. Ghost says:

    stick to posting Willow Smith music videos instead of attempting critical analysis

  20. Hip-Hop Fiend says:

    The question isn’t if the hip-hop community is supporting Obama, the question is Obama supporting the hip-hop community?

  21. Your mother's "friend" says:

    Ron Paul ?? lol the same Ron Paul whose son endorsed Romney ? lol/smh, my vote doesn’t count ? & yet Republicans are spending millions & passing all kinds of voter registration laws to keep me & people like me from voting, i’ll let you tell it tho

  22. ZoomZoomDad-Otis says:

    lol@”Stick to campaigning for MMG”…MMG has alot of scandals going on (Gunplay getting the BEATING of his life and his chain taken, Gunplay committing a robbery on videotape , Gangs have an issue with MMG, Albums not expectation).

  23. ZoomZoomDad-Otis says:

    meeting*

  24. the brain trust says:

    You goddamn right the hip hop community has abandoned him! We naively thought he would be different.

    Instead, he has only sought to represent his corporate overlords. In terms of civil liberties, he’s worse than Bush. He’s also done nothing to combat African American unemployment.

    People need to stop saying ‘oh, he tried. But the Republicans were mean to him’. FALSE! He agrees with the Republicans on almost every issue. He’s already promised to gut welfare and reduce corporate taxes i.e. the rich get richer, the poor get poorer.

    Republicans & Democrats are a 2 headed monster. Vote for a 3rd party & put an end to corporate tyranny.

  25. Unknown says:

    This nigga Elliott said the economy is getting better. LMAOOO

  26. Lulu says:

    Be honest with u I’m voting for Obama just because I feel more comfortable voting for a ball player and a Classy young dude. Not because I’m black! I’ll vote for Tom cruise or Jim carrey if they ran for the highest office too.

  27. ..Julian.. says:

    Oh god they still got this at the top lol

  28. WestCoast says:

    Fuck obama fuck america
    obama = bush = clinton ====================washinton = puppet

  29. FIND DICH SCHEiSSE says:

    Obama got my vote, I don’t Romney at all.

    OH, lately 50 cent has been acting like a headless chicken. He doesn’t what to do and where to go…Phony yayo can still rap, and Lloyd has the most annoying sounding voice (kinda like Mylie Cyrus). The so-called G-Unit is a dead and buried.

    Rick Ross, Maybach

  30. On the Right says:

    I would love to see a hip hop artist or rapper endorse Obama for his policies or success, instead of his skin color of party.

  31. NovaKaine says:

    obama had his run he made no impact at all

  32. Ridalen says:

    Y’all are so ignorant it’s hilarious

  33. hotbox says:

    Obama = the lesser of 2 evils

  34. Robama says:

  37. ironic says:

  38. DA REALIST! says:

    hahaha at the dick riding done by all the so called hip hop community! its a fucking disgrace! SAME FOR YOU MODS! DICK riding obama this nigga passes the paper bag test like a motherfucker and think he is for the black people, the black struggle! He isnt, Toppling governments in Africa sending them in to riots and allowing out troops *mostly made up of blacks and latinos and the poor* to die in-vane! OBAMA doesnt give a shit about black people or the troops! but you house niggas better do what MASSA says you dont want your site, or food stamps taken away Psh!

  39. PAPI MORENITO says:

    IT TAKES A NATION OF MILLIONS TO HOLD RICK ROSS AND MMG BACK. JUST ASK FILTHY SCENT AND THE MONKEY UNIT.

  40. Gary Johnson says:

    Rap music is too violent and vulgar to have a place in politics, its just the truth…with that being said…TRAPGOD 2016

  41. Danny says:

    Damn u love to say Jay Z

  42. That Guy says:

    @Your mother’s “friend”

    “In 2000 Al gore got 92% of the black vote, in 04 Kerry got 90% of the black vote & clinton got 86% so please miss me with that voting because he’s black nonsense.”

    All of those candidates were white. Black people vote. If both candidates are white, then yes, black people will vote for a white candidate because, there only are white candidates.

    Let’s not discuss politics on a hip-hop forum because the majority of people don’t know a single thing about it, which is why we elect unqualified presidents. The blind follow the blind.

  43. HK says:

    A lot of misinformed folks commenting in this thread.

  44. Criticalthinker says:

    It is amazing how dependent the black community is on handouts, that’s why they vote democrat no matter what color the candidate is…

  45. k1ng petey says:

    i wish i had enough chips to pay him not to do these vlogs.
