“Rappers need to get off Obama”, that’s the message, O.Gs; Ice Cube, and Scarface are trying to promote, This stems from that Ludacris song which bashed Obama’s opponents but also received alot of bad press.

“They gotta work in other ways to get him in the White House,” Ice Cube says. “It’s not really about doing a song right now. He has to separate himself from that stuff; he’s in a political race. Everybody should kick back for a minute, see what happens in November. If he becomes president, he wouldn’t have to separate himself as much from some of these statements. Because Obama can’t come as hardcore as Ludacris as far as his message right now — he can’t do that. Us rappers might have to hold our tongues for a few months.”

Scarface also had some similar remarks about the issue

“All it takes is for a muthafucker getting out there being real [ghetto] and people will be like, ‘We don’t wanna fuck with Obama’; they’ll wanna smash on him because of what somebody else said. [Someone] speaks for himself and its Barack’s fault? What did Luda say — that’s Barack’s fault? Is it Barack’s fault what I’m saying? I don’t wanna be the reason he don’t get [the presidency].”

I agree with the message, I think if any rapper wants to jump into the world of politics, they need to have the mind of politician, and not the mind of simply a rapper

Mr. Smooth explains it best here…
