    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 b**** 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!

    Faos,

    this is why i've been giving you a hard time, you're one of the biggest hip hop fans on this board and now that ludicrous is supporting obama you have a problem with hip hop lyrics.

    what good do you have to say about your candidate?

    I don't have a problem with ALL hip hop lyrics. I have a problem with some of his lyrics in this song. In particular:

    Isn't there a way he can support his candidate without saying McCain needs to be paralyzed?

    I wouldn't call myself a huge hip hop fan these days. I don't buy any, but know enough to get by. I think most of it is crap (Lollipop? C'mon). I like the older stuff. Hip hop for me peaked in the 90's. I went to countless concerts and shows back then.

    He's a Reggaeton (Latin Carribean hip hop) star. I heard an interview with him the other day and he's supporting McCain because he likes McCain's stance on immigration. At least McCain's previous stance when McCain was still trying to get more illegal immigrants legalized.

    Not quite - he's endorsing him because he tried to endorse Obama and Obama wasn't interested..

    http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0808/Dem_Obama_rebuffed_Yankee_Daddy.html


    Dem: Obama rebuffed Daddy Yankee

    There's some amusement today about John McCain's endorsement by the Puerto Rican performer Daddy Yankee, who has an assault charge and some some seriously racy lyrics.

    There's a bit more backstory, though. A Democratic Party source tells me a representative for Daddy Yankee approached Obama's Latino outreach staffers earlier this year about possibly endorsing Obama.

    But he didn't pass the vetting, and Obama's aides said they weren't interested in his support. So, apparently, he moved over to McCain.

    A spokeswoman for the performer didn't return a call seeking comment on the claim.

    UPDATE: Still no word from Daddy Yankee, but McCain spokesman Michael Golfarb emails: "That’s a 'Ludacris' suggestion, and given the number of shady characters and organizations that have endorsed Barack Obama, we find it hard to believe the Obama campaign has turned down any endorsements at all. After all, you can’t vet the vetters.

    Another non-campaign source, however, tells me there are a few other prominent entertainers Obama's turned down for somewhat similar reasons.

    So since McCain has picked up this endorsement, is it safe to assume that we should ¿dale más gasolina?

    That may be some truth to that but I'm going by what Daddy Yankee said himself in an NPR interview.

    No we know the real reason why DY supports mccain
    He is clearly for more drilling, and does not believe in alternative fuels

    Don't know about that but he is trying to find ways to be more 'green' if you will.

    http://planetgreen.discovery.com/tv/battleground-earth/ludacris-bio.html



    Chris "Ludacris" Bridges has grown from a hip hop superstar to a Hollywood film star.

    His most recent album release, Release Therapy, won two Grammy's in 2007 including Best Rap Album and Single and sold over two million copies. The 30-year-old entrepreneur put not only his life experiences as an artist into his music, but also his experiences as the CEO of Disturbing Tha Peace Records, the President and founder of The Ludacris Foundation, and an actor in the Oscar-winning films Crash and Hustle & Flow towards continuing to expand his resume and build upon his already impressive business empire.

    Bridges has recently seen major changes in all facets of his life. At his record label, Ludacris has collected a talented and diverse group of artists. The DTP roster includes both R&B, hip-hop, Soul and pop musicians. In his burgeoning film career, Chris has taken home both a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Critics' Choice Award for his performance in Crash and won rave reviews for his recurring role on NBC's highest rated drama Law & Order: SVU. His Ludacris Foundation continues to grow and has raised over half a million dollars towards helping kids to empower themselves. With the success of his duet "Runaway Love" with Mary J. Blige, he received the 2007 Honors Award from the National Runaway Switchboard which showed a 20% increase in calls from runaway teens surrounding his Release Therapy Album. "I'm not going to lie. I've made my share of mistakes," confesses Ludacris. "I know about success, but I also know about failure and having to pick myself up to try again. It's the balance of the two and all of my experiences that become the foundation of both my music and the film and television roles that I choose. It's about making a difference in that person's life who is paying attention to me and I don't take that responsibility lightly."

    On Planet Green's new series Battleground Earth, Ludacris teams up with rocker Tommy Lee as they set out on a journey across the country to battle each other to see who can be greener. It's rock versus rap as the two go head-to-head in a series of eco-challenges and learn about reducing their carbon footprint along the way. "I was already aware of some of the 'little' ways to become more environment friendly, but working on this show took my knowledge to a whole different level. I learned so much and am starting to incorporate some of these lessons at home and at the office. I hope that the audience is able to learn about these very important issues and see how much fun Tommy and I had while doing 'green' missions for the different communities that we were able to visit," says Bridges.

    Never to stay idle for long, Ludacris is currently in the studio recording his new album, Theatre of the Mind, which drops in the winter of 2008, has opened a new Atlanta restaurant Straits (asian-fusion style menu) this past month as well as created a new website entitled Wemix.com which allows the general public to try their hands at producing and remixing songs via the internet. Chris "Ludacris" Bridges also appears in the indie film Ball Don't Lie (which premiered to rave reviews at The Tribeca Film Festival) and this fall can be seen starring opposite Gerard Butler, Tom Wilkinson and Thandie Newton in Guy Ritchie's RockNRolla (Warner Brothers Films) and Max Payne (Fox Films) co-starring Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis and Beau Bridges and directed by John Moore. With all of his projects up and running, he still takes time to look back at where he has been and staying focused on the future. "I've been very fortunate to work with with some of the best actors, directors, studios and networks," comments Chris. "I will always continue to strive to do better, be better and work on growing as a man, a musician, an actor, an entrepreneur and a father. 2008 has been a great year and I'm looking forward to it getting even better."
