Daddy Yankee Talks McCain, Fat Joe

by REIGN

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 12, 2008

Reggaeton superstar, Daddy Yankee, had recently shown his support of Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain and although it was not a popular choice among the hip-hop community, he explains why he has no regrets.

"A man does not sell out when he backs his ideals," the Latin Grammy-winning reggaetón artist told a NY newspaper from his home in Puerto Rico.  "I don't care who I piss off...This is about my ideals, not about making friends. Senator McCain is the kind of man whose promises you can actually believe in."

One of the pissed off was Fat Joe, who challenged Yankee to a debate. Joe, who seemed very upset about Yankee's support and thinks he's a "sellout", said when he opened up the newspaper and read about it, it made him sick to his stomach. "I felt like I wanted to vomit when I seen that. The reason why I called him a sellout is because I feel he did that for a [publicity] look, rather than the issues that are affecting his people that look up to him. How could you want John McCain in office when George Bush and the Republicans already have half a million people losing their homes in foreclosure? We’re fighting an unjust war. It’s the Latinos and black kids up in the frontlines, fighting that war...We over here trying to take the troops out of Iraq and bring peace. This guy immediately wants war. If not with Iraq or Afghanistan, he’ll start a new one with Iran. I feel real disgusted that Daddy Yankee would do that. Either he did that for a look, or he’s just not educated on politics." 

Joe then challenged Yankee to a debate and Yankee had this to say about that. "Look, I'm not a politician. I am a man with ideals, and I think that el Senador McCain is the best candidate. I asked el senador point-blank about whether or not he will seriously help Puerto Rico and our veterans here, and he said, 'Yes. You endorse me, and I will do it.' I believe he will back up his word."

He concluded by saying, "I like his stance on immigration reform, that he works across party lines to help immigrants, that he agreed to take a look and help the dire situation of aid to the veterans of Puerto Rico," Yankee said. "It's not fair that Boricua soldiers die and fight in wars and don't get the same benefits as those on the mainland. I like that el senador agreed to take a serious look and help those kinds of issues affecting us on the island."

When asked if he had ever even thought about supporting Democratic presidential candidate Barrack Obama, Yankee said, "never — not for a minute."

Read this article on the NYPOST, and thought to myself how 1. Daddy Yankee can be easily deceived by the word "YES" and how ignorant of him to jump on a political view without consulting the party that clearly is for the well being of those middle class families/poor 2. Even though Fat Joe makes no sense in his rap lyrics, he's bright enough to back up his ideals with a concrete base of arguments

I'm not going to read any comments yet...
Not until I state my WIZdom.

DaddyYankee is a fuckin' fag! Point blank period!
I don't give a fuck how many records he sold...or what he symbolizes or how much cash he has....he's a fuckin' fag...PERIOD!

Anytime... you sell yourself, your people, your culture, and your country out for a little "fame"... to me...you're scum...PERIOD!

This dickhead apparently has no idea who Mccain was...and more importantly...who he is NOW!

It's ok to not wanna be on Obama's dick or whateva yall are calling it. But to side with someone who could honestly not give 2 shits about u whatsoever... it's just pathetic!

But then again...Mccain sold his country out (with the help of his father) too!

There's no excuse for anyone to be "ignorant" now a days.
Especially with all of this technology and more importantly...Google!

ummm...first of all who the fuck who sum random ass nigga named daddy yankee is votin for...wat he have like one stupid ass song in like 2004 "Gassolina"....woooow....

But i digress...his points on John Mcain were severly mistaken...John Mcain has indeed made promises...but thats all he's made...even tho Barrack Obama made promises he at least backed them up with policies and stragtegies he wud use to perform what he says he'll do...John Mcain is riding on Sarah Palin's popularity and once the candidates start talking about the issues...both Sarah Palin and John Mcain will be exposed as another carbon copy of the Bush administration...

As Sarah Palin proved in her ABC interview last nite...she's like a 3rd grader when it comes to foriegn policy...she didn't even know what the Bush doctrine was...and she had the audacity to question Obama's expierence...all of these "promises" John Mcain is shouting out and all of the "change" he's promoting, can anyone plz tell me wat policy he has stated will support his promises....none....which is why voting for John Mcain is EXCACTLY like voting for George Bush...which sum ignorant still say they would do....

Sometimes im baffled by people's stupidity....

and now to be ignorant....OBAMA 08 NIGGA!!!!! VOTE 4 OBAMA OR UZ A FUCKIN LAME!!!!!!!!!! ~1~

Though i agree with Joe that this is a publicity stunt on the part of DY, Joe might be pullin a publicity stunt himself by coming after DY...I mean i didn't even hear that DY supported Mccain until I heard Joe criticizing him for it...and by doing that this whole thing blew up and caused DY to respond...essentially bringing this issue even further into the spotlight...something Joe would not have wanted to do if he felt that DY was doing this only for publicity

I agree that Yankee deserves some credit for not going the way everyone else "thinks" it should be. People are crediting Fat Joe with way too much respect for what he said. "It’s the Latinos and black kids up in the frontlines, fighting that war".

Thats not true. I know people in Iraq right now, Latino and black, that will tell you that straight up. Aint no race on the battlefield....you either American or you getting ya head popped.

And to keep it real, at least Yankee is doing it on the belief he's gonna be helping out his people......when's the last time you seen Fat Joe do something for our Hispanic community?

reign every war we have been involved in since ww2 there has been a disproportinate amount of blacks and laatino's on the front line. you will not see the children of the priviledged on the front line. no they think their children are to good for that, but at the same time they enjoy the most freedom. this isn't racsism im spewing it is the truth. not to mention oil isn't the only reason they are over there. the destruction of islam is on the agenda too. just think about it, north korea told the whole world they have nukes and american just wanted to talk. on the other hand where are the wmd that iraq had. the haven't found them yet. if n. korea was a muslim nation there would be troops on the ground right now. thanx for the article though reign finally and intelectual topic to discuss on ds, much props for that.

I'm a white dude myself but these are the kind of kids that think their shit don't stink b/c they parents got that $. Truth be told...
Everyone should go cop that 'Audacity of Hope' by Barack Obama. He outlines everything he wants to do PLUS the reasons behind it. It's 330 pages but I only put it down once & I do NOT read anything.

And even though Puerto Rico is a United States territory they have there own separate government! Basically if there is a national disaster, U.S. helps, but aid for veterans?? Nope that's a Puerto Rican government issue. Daddy Yankee is mis-informed.

I dont think you're seeing the point Marquis. Yankee is asking for the veterans from PR to be entitled to the same benefits when returning home as the military on American soil do.

I don't like McCain and will definitely NOT be voting for him but it's funny how people have no idea about the actual issues, and just say "I'm voting for Obama cuz he's black" or "McCain is just like Bush" when they dont even do any research on either.... The politics game is ALWAYS gonna be shady and full of lies.....that's just the way it is but damn, people should really do some research.....

"Opinions can be proven wrong if it is a topic or statement that involves truth., ie My opinion that Steve Davis was world snooker champion in 1980 can be proven wrong as Cliff Thorburn was world snooker champion in 1980, however if I had said that I think Steve Davis was the best snooker player in the world in 1980 then I can't be proven wrong as this is an opinion and not a fact."

being white was a qualification give or take, 240 years, so 1 term where being black is a qualification, people have their panties in a bunch...Lol we're so conditioned and accustomed to white racism, we are hesitant to fight it. Since blacks have only been human for 45 years, black racism is suddenly threatening today?? Why?? lol I'll tell you why..Because this is the 1st time in history where black racism will affect peoples quality of life! But since 1609, white racism has always plague black and brown people's quality of life.

I'd argue if that made any kind of sense or had anything to do with why you think being black is a "qualification" to be president. So you're basically saying, if you had a chance to elect Al Sharpton to be the president, you'd do so because he met your "qualifications". Not that McCain would be a much better choice, but just sayin.....

I would vote for nappiest Mississippian, jerry curl drippin with white platform shoes. His policy could be free Newports and relaxers for the ladies, if he had a realistic chance at winning..That's the point. Obama and his family has to be the huxtibles..Mccain and his pill poppin wife(look it up) could be the worst people on earth and it'd still be 50/50 cause we are not seen as equals.

(in my church voice)

Barack's presidency is for Emmit Till, the 3 freedom riders who were murdered, Brother's Malcom and Martin, Sister Rosa Parks, those 4 little girls who died in the church bombing, all those unfairly tried, convicted and lynched, for every hard-working American black family that had a cross burning in their front yard.

This is a country who has written Malcom X out of text-books, because of the lack of knowledge of his policies and his alleged, i repeat alleged "racist" views, but we elevate George Washington, Thomas Jefferson into the realms of immortality..ALL NOTABLE SLAVE OWNERS..Hell, we even throw Abraham Lincoln's name in that realm when he had no intentions, i repeat, no intentions of freeing slaves. It was all by chance.

Barack's presidency is important to the world..We could be further along in this so called "War on Terrorism", which is running parallel with the "war on drugs" meaning we have no chance of stopping it. No one wants to work with us. We aren't working well with the United Nations, a body of governments that can easily get terrorist harboring states to listen.

I hope you're not majoring in political science cuz if you are, Florida needs a few more hurricanes....

While I hope that if Barack is elected it will mean a lot of good change for us, the bottom line is, I doubt it will make much difference. The president is just a spokeman for the country. His team (DOD, CIA, FBI) is who really calls the shots. Not the President or the vice president. Its their cabinet administration that is going to be pulling the strings, not him individually.

He will just nod his head yes or no.....on the advice of his "co-workers"

@kelty

lol Colin Powell is Republican??? He's pro-choice on abortion and favors reasonable gun-control..Mr. Powell supports Affirmative Action(Republicans don't) and was instrumental in getting the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy implemented into the army.

lol because all these things I mentioned are real Republican views..Next time you call someone a "dumb fuck" you better have facts supporting your argument. And even facts took a dump on your face you wouldn't know how to use them.

Colin Powell is easily the best candidate for Secretary of State. He spent 2 1/2 hours trying to convince George Bush not invade Iraq...Lol that worked well, but damn he knew something we didn't know! Judgment my friends!

Daddy Yankee has his own opinions. I don't care if he votes for McCain, that's his choice, but if he really thinks that McCain will keep his word he is mistaken. McCain runs a dirty campaign and he's not any different than Bush. Fat Joe kinda overreacted honestly. Yeah, I'm for Obama and I feel like Daddy Yankee is getting the wrong message, but let him to do what he wants.

THAT I GOTTA SAY IS READ THIS ON WHAT THIS IDIOT SAID

I asked el senador point-blank about whether or not he will seriously help Puerto Rico and our veterans here, and he said, 'Yes. You endorse me, and I will do it.' I believe he will back up his word."

Get off his case!! He has his own opinion!!

I respect anyone's opinion on who they are going to vote for BASED ON THEIR VIEWS!! NOT RACE.

90% of you guys are ignorant/racist with this Obama shit.

If you going to vote for him, make sure its because agree with his views.

@youngunobaby there is no such thing as a racsist black person in american. before you dismiss this statement examine exactly what rascism is. in order for one to be racsist you have to control the financially institutions, the government and the courts. who controls all that, white folks for the most part. when someone dislikes someone one the basis of the ethnic background its called prejudice. predudice is different from racsism, take a lil time and think about that.
