OBAMA REJECTS ENDORSEMENT SONG FROM LUDACRIS

Presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama has rejected an endorsement song from Ludacris, in which the Atlanta MC criticizes rivals Hillary Clinton and John McCain. The song “Politics: Obama Is Here” contains  bars on Obama’s success, but turns extremely derogatory when Obama’s rivals are addressed. Ludacris references the bitter Democratic primary battle by stating “Hillary hated on you/So that b**ch is irrelevant.” Regarding Republican nominee John McCain, the rapper rhymes: “McCain don’t belong in ANY chair unless he’s paralyzed/ Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped/ Ball up all of his speeches and I throw ‘em like candy wrap.” “As Barack Obama has said many, many times in the past, rap lyrics today too often perpetuate misogyny, materialism, and degrading images that he doesn’t want his daughters or any children exposed to,” explained spokesman Bill Burton. “This song is not only outrageously offensive to Senator Clinton, Reverend Jackson, Senator McCain, and President Bush, it is offensive to all of us who are trying to raise our children with values we hold dear. While Ludacris is a talented individual he should be ashamed of these lyrics.”

GIVE WYCLEF A BREAK, JACOB

Rapper/producer Wyclef Jean, allegedly owes Jacob The Jeweler money.

He is apparently being sued by the New York jeweler, who claims the rap star owes his company money.

Jacob & Co. alleges Jean has not paid for over $300,000 worth of watches and jewelry.

The company’s founder, Jacob “The Jeweler” Arabov was jailed in June by a Detroit judge for lying to investigators about a drug ring.

Jean, also a member of the legendary group The Fugees, has not commented on the legal action.

Maybe Jacob should give Wyclef a break. Jean has more important obligations like his foundation Yele Haiti, which provides his homeland with food, education, healthcare and other Haitian “privileges.”
