Is Ludacris entering politics? The rapper wrote a song about Obama the lyrics of which we present below.<\/p>\n

Even MTV is reffering to the presidential campaign, saying it’s getting ugly and that they are "talking about a new freestyle from Ludacris over Young Buck’s “Get Buck” called “Politics (Obama Is Here),” in which the “Get Back” MC gives props to the freshman Illinois senator while throwing dirt on his rivals and, of course, giving himself a bit of shine as well."<\/p>\n

Here are the lyrics of Ludacris’ Obama Song<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m back on it like I just signed my record deal

\nYeah the best is here, the Bentley Coup paint is dripping wet, it got sex appeal

\nNever should have hated

\nYou never should’ve doubted him

\nWith a slot in the president’s iPod Obama shattered ’em<\/p>\n

Said I handled his biz and I’m one of his favorite rappers

\nWell give Luda a special pardon if I’m ever in the slammer

\nBetter yet put him in office, make me your vice president

\nHillary hated on you, so that bitch is irrelevant<\/p>\n

Jesse talking slick and apologizing for what?

\nIf you said it then you meant it how you want it have a gut!

\nAnd all you other politicians trying to hate on my man,

\nwatch us win a majority vote in every state on my man<\/p>\n

You can’t stop what’s bout to happen, we bout to make history

\nThe first black president is destined and it’s meant to be

\nThe threats ain’t fazing us, the nooses or the jokes

\nSo get off your ass, black people, it’s time to get out and vote!<\/p>\n

Paint the White House black and I’m sure that’s got ’em terrified

\nMcCain don’t belong in any chair unless he’s paralyzed

\nYeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped

\nBall up all of his speeches and I throw ’em like candy wrap

\n’cause what you talking I hear nothing even relevant

\nand you the worst of all 43 presidents<\/p>\n

Get out and vote or the end will be near

\nThe world is ready for change because Obama is here!

\n’cause Obama is here

\nThe world is ready for change because Obama is here!<\/p>\n

It seems that Barack Obama’s campaign has already denounced<\/a> the song and lyrics, however Obama’s website has not yet posted any information about this.<\/p>\n

"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," said 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 the values we hold dear. While Ludacris is a talented individual he should be ashamed of these lyrics."<\/p>\n

BY DEANNA BELLANDI ASSOCIATED PRESS NOV. 29, 2006<\/a>:<\/div>\n

U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, contemplating a run for president, met privately Wednesday with rapper Ludacris to talk about young people.<\/p>\n

”We talked about empowering the youth,” said the artist, whose real name is Chris Bridges.<\/p>\n

Bridges was in town to launch the YouthAIDS ”Kick Me” campaign to raise HIV\/AIDS awareness during a stop at Northwestern University in the Chicago suburb of Evanston.<\/p>\n

The gathering at Obama’s downtown Chicago office was a meeting of two star powers: Obama, who enjoys rock star-like status on the political scene, and Ludacris, who has garnered acclaim for his music and acting.<\/p>\n

Obama declined to comment after their meeting but walked with Bridges to the elevator as he left.<\/p>\n

Bridges said meeting Obama, known for his warm personal style, was like meeting with a relative.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
