This might have been posted already...cant be bothered to check all the threads.To me this unbelievable and amusing :smt017 How the hell can you not know who barack obama is? He must have been high! DMX was recently interviewed by XXL Magazine and reveals he’s not up on his political game: XXL: Are you following the presidential race? DMX: Not at all. XXL: You’re not? You know there’s a Black guy running, Barack Obama and then there’s Hillary Clinton. DMX: His name is Barack?! XXL: Barack Obama, yeah. DMX: Barack?! XXL: Barack. DMX: What the fu*k is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa? XXL: Yeah, his dad is from Kenya. DMX: Barack Obama? XXL: Yeah. DMX: What the fu*k?! That ain’t no fuckin’ name, yo. That ain’t that nigga’s name. You can’t be serious. Barack Obama. Get the fuck outta here. XXL: You’re telling me you haven’t heard about him before. DMX: I ain’t really paying much attention. XXL: I mean, it’s pretty big if a Black… DMX: Wow, Barack! The nigga’s name is Barack. Barack? Nigga named Barack Obama. What the fu*k, man?! Is he serious? That ain’t his fuckin’ name. Ima tell this nigga when I see him, “Stop that bullshit. Stop that bullshit” [laughs] “That ain’t your fuckin’ name.” Your momma ain’t name you no damn Barack. XXL: So you’re not following the race. You can’t vote right? DMX: Nope. A link of some talk show taking the piss! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5emoe--C43A&feature=related
I hope he was high. If he had said all that not being under some kind of drug influence would mean he must be really dumb
A principal reason why black people are at the bottom of almost any given society is that we're frequently not ashamed of our own ignorance.
DMX is a convicted felon, which explains his ignorance and the use of the "N" and the "F" word. If he wasn't a multi-millionaire he would probably out robbing someone or back in prison. Besides, why should we or anyone else be concern what this "gentleman" political beliefs are . . . he can't VOTE!!! Yes, I said it!!!
Co-sign, FAR too often the DMX's of the world are portrayed as the typical, average black man. Such idiocy perpetuates the worst stereotypes, and makes life harder for all of us. I do hope he sees the light someday.
I follow american culture, but obviously not as versed as everyone on this forum. I was just wandering if you guys think he was high, or is this the real DMX ?
Earl Simmons (DMX's real name) reminds me of the guys out there who compliant about how bad the country is and how unfair it is to the poor people yet don't vote or a least encourage people to change their life. As I mention earlier, DMX lost his right to vote when he was arrested on a Felony, but he still has the influence to encourage other people who to vote for whether they be republican or democrat. Oh yeah, his propaganda movies "Exit Wounds" and "Cradle 2 the Grave" where his is this multi-millionaire computer genius and a suave cat burglar which takes away from his real-life list of cocaine, ecstasy and marijuana possessions and animal cruelty charges. As for making fun of Barack Obama's name "DMX" shouldn't laugh. Again, there are many rappers that I respect because of what they do "outside" of the music business that has affect on life DMX has . . . none. Non issue here.
