Obama camp condemns song: Ludacris 'should be ashamed'
Ben Smith's Blog — Barack Obama's campaign is condemning a song by the rapper Ludacris that praises Obama and bitterly attacks Senators Hillary Clinton and John McCain. "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 ...

A Ludacris Obama Supporter
Political Punch — Leggo My Ego | Main A Ludacris Obama Supporter July 30, 2008 3:11 PM No, that’s not a typo. I am of course referring to rap star Ludacris, with whom Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, has worked on AIDS awareness . Obama recently told Rolling Stone magazine that Jay-Z and Ludacris are "great talents and great businessmen"."It would be nice if I could have my daughters listen to their music without me worrying they were getting bad images of themselves," the candidate said.

Ludacris Under Obama's Bus
Weekly Standard Blog — Rapper Ludacris has released a new song called "Politics: Obama Is Here." In the song, Ludacris attacks Hillary Clinton, John McCain, President Bush, even Jesse Jackson, with nasty, hateful words. An excerpt: Said I handled his biz and I'm one of his favorite rappers Well give Luda a special pardon if I'm ever in the slammer Better yet put him in office, make me your vice president Hillary hated on you, so that b**** is irrelevant In November 2006, Obama met with Ludacris to discuss "empowering the youth." This rap doesn't seem like it will do much good for America's youth, does it? Obama ...

Ready For Change?
Shakesville — RKMK mentioned this in the blogaround yesterday, but I'm not sure how many saw it, so I thought I'd relay the story up here since it bears repeating. Barack Obama recently referred to Ludacris as a "great talent" (yet another thing he's been dead wrong about) and it seems that the two have more than a passing acquaintance, and so, as maybe a thank you of sorts, Ludacris has written a new song in Obama's honor titled "Politics." And the song's message? "The world is ready for change because Obama is here! The world is ready for change because Obama is here!" Oh, that's nice. What an inspiring message, right? Well, let's ...

He Really Wants to Hurt Us (and Norwegian Prostitutes)
Hit & Run — The conviction of "Boy" George O'Dowd, former Culture Club frontman and, according to his own barrister, a "drug-crazed idiot," on charges of kidnapping and assaulting a Norwegian prostitute (we've all been there) provides a great excuse to add yet another video to the pantheon of shitty Obama songs. O'Dowd will be serving 15 months, but before he was locked up by the Snaresbrook Crown Court he managed commit this pro-Obama pop music crime.  ...

N-Word O.K. In Moderation? — The Corner on National Review Online
From the Washington Post: Whenever Obama is asked about rap music in interviews, he always tempers his praise.

'There are times where even . . . with the artists I love, you know, there's a message that is not only sometimes degrading to women; not only uses the n-word a little too ...

Mary J. Blige's Underrated Mary Shows Her Vocal Versatility — All articles at Blogcritics
Mary J. Blige's powerful 1999 album cemented her status as the Queen of Hip Hop Soul and as worthy successor to past soul divas. I owe Mary J. Blige an apology. Why? When she first hit the music scene with “Real Love” in 1992, I initially dismissed her as another one hit wonder, just a dance/hip hop artist who would quickly fade from the charts. Boy, was I wrong.
