2. I THINK IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE THE HIP-HOP KOMMUNITY KOME TOGETHER TO DO SOEMTHING THAT'S NOT NEGATIVE.

THINS LIKE THIS ARE LONG OVERDUE.

WILL-I-AM AND DEM FRANSHIZE BOYZ ARE BOTH RESPEKTED IN HIP-HOP.

THE DAY SHOULD KOME WHEN ALL ARTIST USE THE TALENT THAT THE MOST MERCIFUL GAVE THEM TO DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN TALK ABOUT GUNS, DRUGS AND HOES.

MAYBE THIS KAN BE THE BEGINNING OF THE FUTURE OF HIP-HOP, A MORE SENSIBLE WORDING IN MUSIK.

KOMMON SENSE SHOULD SHOW PEOPLE THAT IF YOU RAP ABOUT DEATH, GUNS, DRUGS AND HOES.

YOUR LIFE QUICKLY BEKOMES SURROUNDED BY ELEMENTS OF DEATH, GUNS, DRUGS AND HOES.

MOST OF THESE RAPPERS ARE NOT EVEN FROM THE STREETS, AND HAVE NEVER BEEN TO JAIL OR PRISON, YET SPEAK VERY HIGHLY ABOUT WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNED FROM OTHERS WHO HAVE SEEN THESE EXPERIENCES.

BE WISE ABOUT YOUR CHOICE OF WORDS, AND ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT ALTHOUGH YOU LIVE ON THE EAST KOAST, SOONER OR LATER YOU WILL HAVE A PERFORMANCE OR KONCERT THAT IS ON THE WEST KOAST.

AND BELIEVE ME, WEST KOAST AIN'T TOO FOND OF EAST KOAST BRUTHAS AND SISTAHS WHO KLAIM THE LIFESTYLE OF THE B AND THE C BUT ARE NOT AKTUALLY LIVING THE LIFE ON A DAILY BASIS.

MR. ABOMA IS A TRUE AND LIVING GODSENT THAT SHOULD BE PRAISED FOR HIS VISION AND AMBITION TOWARDS HELPING HIS PEOPLE FURTHER THEMSELVES.

MRS. KLINTON.......

I WAS ALWAYS TOLD THAT IF I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT SOMEONE, NOT TO SAY ANYTHING.

3. I believe what young america has to really consider, is the fact that a new party is needed so that your voices are heard. The democratic party, nor the republican party has your best interest at heart. Whatever you believe in, the repubicans would blow you off immediatetly, whereas the democrats would pretend to be you friend, and blow you off a week later. Take back you country young America.
Go Obama

4. we need more political rappers, more conscious rappers, more educated rappers. You are not only saving rap you are saving a nation. What's going to happen to the next generation of rappers.

5. This may backfire. Last time all these celebs came out supporting Kerry and what happen, Bush a@# still got in there. It's not about popular votes people, it's about the electorial votes, ( do your homework) that's how Bush got in there the last 2 terms. Gore, and Kerry had the most votes and still lost. If you vote for someone because of their race, or because celebs are backing them, then that's really sad. Quit being band-wagon voters and really vote for the person who would really get the job done. No one knew nothing about Obama until he was on the Oprah show. When Bill was president, blacks were malking $5000 more on their jobs. This is a fact. So why blacks are turning their backs on them now. Just yesterday we were saying that he was black, so what's change? Obama mom is white. I hear people saying that it's not about experience, it's about change. Okay, if your house was on fire, would you want someone off the streets to put it out or a firemen? Do your homework on these canidates, don't let the celebs do it for you. Hillary and Obama are two good canidates, but I'm voting for Hilary.

6. Yes, Obama is a vehicle of change and those of us who believe in his potential must stand steadfast in our support.
Just an aside... what's with commentor #2... makes some very good points and seems to be able to articulate him/herself... but can't leave the "life" alone? Are you allergic to using "C's"? Our people have come so far, yet we still have a long ways to go.
To quote commentor #2 "YOUR LIFE QUICKLY BEKOMES SURROUNDED BY ELEMENTS OF DEATH, GUNS, DRUGS AND HOES."
I would add to that...especially when you are a part of a GANG... grow up! Use the "C" in the words and stop substituting with "K"s...in the end none of that foolishness really matters.... use your WISDOM wisely.

And to FOE Real...your point is well taken, however, When BILL Clinton was in office HE did those things, HILLARY is NOT Bill and it is not guaranteed that it will happen again. As for the fact that blacks made $5000 more (where did you get these states from? your old tax statements? LOL), have you ever considered the fact that it was because of the party who was leading government at the time? I agree that we should not vote for a person because of the color of their skin, however, we should not NOT vote for them just to be the opposition either. Your choice is your choice because you feel Clinton is the best (and I respect that) and those who are for Obama think that he is the best.

YOU may not have known about Obama until he was on Oprah, but please don't group us all together--there are many of us that are in tune with what is going on in our government. We all need to do our homework, because in the end whether it's Obama or Hillary on the final ticket, as Democrats we are going to end up supporting either. We have to listen to what both are saying (and while we still may have our preference} we must understand that we still MUST vote for our PARTY regardless! November 6th 2008 vote regardless of who wins: Obama or Clinton! We cannot afford to have another 4 years under Republican government (think of the history: Reagan 8yrs (Drugs in the US maximized--crack epidemic), Bush Sr, 4yrs (8 as Vice President & recession, Gulf WAR--Iran Contra!) Bush Jr, 8 yrs (Iraq War, 9/11, recession). Under Democratic rule there were no Foreign Affairs problems, unemployment was down, people had jobs, money was good.
Sorry for the long babble... just thoughts on my mind... CHANGE is GOOD!
