Is Ludacris entering politics? The rapper wrote a song about Obama the lyrics of which we present below.
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."
Here are the lyrics of Ludacris' Obama Song
I'm back on it like I just signed my record deal
Yeah the best is here, the Bentley Coup paint is dripping wet, it got sex appeal
Never should have hated
You never should've doubted him
With a slot in the president's iPod Obama shattered 'em
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 bitch is irrelevant
Jesse talking slick and apologizing for what?
If you said it then you meant it how you want it have a gut!
And all you other politicians trying to hate on my man,
watch us win a majority vote in every state on my man
You can't stop what's bout to happen, we bout to make history
The first black president is destined and it's meant to be
The threats ain't fazing us, the nooses or the jokes
So get off your ass, black people, it's time to get out and vote!
Paint the White House black and I'm sure that's got 'em terrified
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
'cause what you talking I hear nothing even relevant
and you the worst of all 43 presidents
Get out and vote or the end will be near
The world is ready for change because Obama is here!
'cause Obama is here
The world is ready for change because Obama is here!
It seems that Barack Obama's campaign has already denounced the song and lyrics, however Obama's website has not yet posted any information about this.
"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."

#1 Doom
If this guy gets in it's all over. We are doomed.
#2 what a joke
His rymes are like 3rd grade spelling bees-
hard enough to get the 2nd graders out before crowning a winner G
he talks about Black like he knows something about it
he grew up in a better house then most of my freinds did
He rippin on clinton like she the past not the present-
Without Hilary on his team he can't get enough Votes G
So realize you rappin to make a name for yourelf little hommy
and stick to topics you know about- lookin at little boys pee pees!
Its all good in the White house ludacris---
Life expectancy of obama would be about 3 whole seconds
shorter than that of a radio operator
in Nam they were dead as soon as they jumped off the helicopter
so elect your buddy into the oval office
zero percent of 0 is still no ownership-
irrelevance is only to those who got elected
not to obama and his political death threats-
my hommies will pop him before he takesthe official oath
guranteed by my brothas in white hats and white robes
and if they fail to catch him on the night before the main event
we'll have a long rope hangin above the judge who swears him in for a good old fashion lynchin!
h aha haha ha ha ha

#4 DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL AT ALL?
TODAYS' REALITY CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THIS IS NOT A DREAM! SHOULDA, COULDA, WOULDA? THERE IS A BLACK MAN WHO WILL MORE THAN LIKELY BE YOUR NEXT PRESIDENT...ISN'T THAT GREAT! OH, BY THE WAY...TURN AROUND AND LOOK BEHIND YOU...HERE COME THE MEXICANS WHICH IS ANOTHER AVENUE THAT WILL WIPE YOU PEOPLE OUT OF EXISTANCE...HA HA HA HA HA HA

WHILE YOU CONCERN YOURSELF WITH WHAT THE BLACK MAN IS DOING...THE MEXICANS ARE PUMPING YOU IN THE GLUTIUS...HA HA HA AND TAKING YOUR HOMELAND FROM YOU AND THERE ISN'T A THING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE YOUR PRES. ADOLF W. BUSH AND HIS BOSS DICK HEMLER DO NOT GIVE A CRAP ABOUT YOU! THEY DON'T CARE WHAT COLOR THE CITIZENS OF THE U.S. ARE AS LONG AS THEY PAY THEM THERE TAXES... YOU IDIOT!
#6 You are crazy, Nancy. First
You are crazy, Nancy. First of all, learn to speak English. (You need to speak our language, Mexican supporter.) Plus, Bush is the only one who would have cut taxes between Bush v. Gore, and Bush v. Kerry.
Learn politics and then talk, bitch
#7 Bush's tax cuts
Yeah, he cut taxes for the top 1% incomes. Thanks, W!!!
#8 Lol Coward
U r definately a complete idiot, and a coward. I bet my life that you wouldnt dare say any of the this from behind a computer screen and within earshot of any African American. Definately hope u burn in hell!
#9 that sucked. h aha haha ha
that sucked.
h aha haha ha ha ha at your attepmt
#10 DOOM?
Are you an idiot who can foresee the future? Are you someone who wants change but is afraid of it really? Or are you someone who has been very happy with the shape the country is in after almost 8 hellish years under ADOLF W. BUSH AND DICK HEMLER? I guess you want more of the same? Oh...There is one other possibility...YOU ARE JUST A RACIST A-HOLE WHO BELEIVES IF IT ISN'T WHITE IT ISN'T RIGHT? YEAH, THAT'S YOU...A RACIST A-HOLE LEFT OVER FROM THE PAST...WELL...THE MEXICANS WILL TAKE CARE OF ALL OF YOU A-HOLES AND THIS COUNTRY AND PEOPLES MINDSETS ARE CHANGING WHETHER YOU RACISTS LIKE IT OR NOT. YOU WILL LOSE YOUR COUNTRY TO US AND IT IS WHAT YOU DESERVE FOR BEING MENTALLY DEFECTIVE, RACIST A-HOLES.
#11 Nancy?
Are you serious? Comparing Bush to Hitler? That is completely absurd. It seems to me that you need a lesson in history. What on earth has President Bush done to be compared to Hitler? That is just about the most ridculous thing anyone has ever said. Do some unbiased research someplace other that that which soley supports your views.
#12 Ludacris
I think a "certain" group of people are hot. It's a rap song! Encouraging young minorities to vote for our first minority president. Yes Jessie was wrong, and yes Hillary was... anywho. People get mad when minorities speak thier mind it was a little rough but he's not a polititian; He's a rapper. If he put out another song about "them Ho's" it would not have even made the news because that is what is expected of him.

#15 ANOTHER IGNORANT KLAN MAN?
After reading your post I realized that you were just another ignorant white person who is oblivious to fact that it is not the BLACK MAN that you have to worry about but it is your own white, elitist, racist president...OH...and the MEXICANS...BECAUSE THEY ARE KICKING YOUR ASS AND TAKING YOUR COUNTRY OVER WITH HELP OF THAT DUMB ASS PRESIDENT THAT, I AM SURE, YOU VOTED FOR! HA HA HA...THE MEXICANS ARE COMING! THE MEXICANS ARE COMING! THE MEXICANS ARE HERE!

#17 Dumbass
Why do some people feel the need to be offensive for the sake of offensive?
My mother always told me: "Better to be thought a moron than to speak and remove all doubt"!!!
#18 Obama and Ludacris
Secretly, Obama smiles at these lyrics because he knows that this rap will generate support in ghettos and ignorant young people (including white youth). I wonder how white feminists and homosexuals will feel about this? Most would probably love it since Obama represents the complete absence of law, order, standards, and discipline. If Obama is not the antiChrist himself (who is supposed to come out of the European Common Market), then he is certainly the False Prophet. Ludacris is NOT just sharing his opinion as standardless humanists insinuate. He is hateful and is attempting to deliberately incite another liberal & socialists race- and class-war (recurringly defused by educated, black Americans as an unnecessary thing of the past).
#19 SAY WHAT?
SO IN OTHER WORDS, YOU'RE SAYING OBAMA REPRESENTS BLACKS AND THAT BLACKS ARE LAWLESS, ORDERLESS, STANDARDLESS PEOPLE? YOU ARE AN IDIOT AND CAN BARELY EXPRESS YOURSELF...THAT CRAP YOU WROTE IS UN-INTELLIGABLE AND STUPID AND MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO FREAKING SENSE WHAT SO EVER. YOU ARE JUST ANOTHER SCARED CAUCAZOID! OH BY THE WAY...THE MEXICANS ARE COMING! HA HA HA HA
#20 a better rhyme for ya

#21 dude stop
the guy rappin talking smack to luda gotta go... he can't rhyme for nothing... OBAMA '08!!!
#22 The Lyrics
Boy! That really scares the crap out of some white people dosen't it? Luda should know how mentally deficient most of white america is and that they cannot handle the truth and sure can't handle his lyrics...LUDA, IF YOU'RE NOT PLANNING ON RUNNING FOR OFFICE THEN KEEP ON PUTTING OUT GREAT LYRICS! BUT JUST REMEMBER...THE CONTROLLED MEDIA WILL TRY TO TAKE OBAMA DOWN DUE TO WHAT OTHERS SAY AND DO SO LET'S NOT MAKE IT ANY HARDER FOR A BLACK MAN TO GET THE PRESIDENCY...OK?
#23 The Lyrics
Ludacris should know how paranoid and mentally affected white people in this contry are and should realize that the controlled media will take what others say and do and use that against Obama. Well, Ludacris if you are not planning on running for politcal office ever, keep on writing great lyrics! But just remember...even though you are not a part of Obamas' campaign, AT ALL, there are still those out there who will look for any means at all to keep a Black Man from becoming President. We have seen the PRESIDENTIAL CROWN on "white skulls only" for long enough...IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE...LET'S SEE IF THIS BLACK MAN CAN REPRESENT ALLLLLL OF AMERICA...UNLIKE THE WHITE FOOL THAT HAS BEEN IN THE WHITE HOUSE FOR THE PAST 8 HELLISH YEARS!
#24 This is why celebs should stay out of politics
Its very comment to be critized ...remember oprah,barbera streisand, bernie mac, chuck norris...they got involve in the race and got critized...now Ludacris got in..It is very offensice specially to those older women in their 80s n yes 90s that had their whole heart and devotion to having in 2008 the firts women president...just like the feeling that African American people have right now...I think we need to stop for a secound a think before we say something offensive because 08 is a historical year and everything that is being said and done this year will be recorded in history...and american girls that read this will be discourage and somewhat dissapointed if they read that the first women to seek presidency was being mistreated by media...and other things...we need to take a secound and think what we said..or course i think us middle class have more common sence than these rich folks that think they can say what they want...So i repeat this is why celebs should just be good for just taking pics. not in politics
#25 WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
YOU GUTLESS MORONS POST USING FICTICIOUS NAMES...I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW HOW I FEEL AND WHAT I THINK AND I AM NOT AFRAID TO USE MY REAL NAME! I AM AN AMERICAN WHO STANDS TALL AND SOON...WILL BE PROUD(I HOPE)OF MY COUNTRY ONCE AGAIN! STICK THAT IN YOUR CRACK PIPE AND SMOKE IT A-HOLE :-0
#26 Luda Not Helping at All
This rap might as well have been written by the McCain camp.
The problem with many Obama supporters is that they know nothing about politics -- they are completely new to the process. You gotta love the newbies, b/c ultimately they will help put Obama over the top. But their exuberance gets ahead of them, and disasters like this are the result.
It's unfathomable to anyone with any knowledge of politics how Luda thought this would help. A simple rap praising Obama and criticizing Bush would have been fine.
"Paint the White House black?" Yeah, that's EXACTLY what the 80 percent of country that is white wants out of an Obama presidency. Obama attracts white supporters and needs them to win; this must not be forgotten. African Americans make up 12.3 percent of the population.
And no good for Obama can result from Luda calling a woman who garnered 18 million Democratic votes an "irrelevant b---h."
Luda's time would be much better spent organizing voter-registration concerts in Georgia, a potential swing state.
#27 I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU!
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU!
#28 COME ON LUDA!
I AGREE COMPLETELY!
#29 Ludacris is a moron
Shows how educated Ludadork is. He wants to vote for Obama
fine, He did more damage to Obama than anyone else could have. Ludadork is so racist and his lyrics are so stupid that who really cares. It doesn't scare white people at all, in fact it just proves their point about how some people don't know how to act like adults.
OH, and seeing OBAMA is BI RACIAL, and everyone keep saying he's black, shows how dumb some people are. I guess America isn't ready for a president like him, because many peoples true colors ARE showing.
#30 I agree too, Ludacris is a moron.
What is a guy who raps about screwing them ho's doggie style and ridin' high on big rims through da hood talking about politics? Do these rappers really think they are going to build relevant support for Obama by making ignorant political rap songs? Ludacris needs to stick with what he is known for, rapping about cars and hot babes. NOT politics.
