After blasting Hillary Clinton as a "b*tch" and John McCain as being close to diability, Luda also took shots at current US President, George Bush. Luda explains, " The song was my artistic expression and was meant to get people who weren’t involved in the political process involved...Being as though it was the first mixtape to reach the United States government was a bit overwhelming."
Upon hearing these lyrics, Obama's camp publicly denounced them by stating, "Rap lyrics today too often perpetuate misogyny, materialism, and degrading images that he (Obama) doesn’t want his daughters or any children exposed to...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 values we hold dear. While Ludacris is a talented individual he should be ashamed of these lyrics.”
Since then though, the Georgia rapper has met with our future president but will not reveal what was spoken about. "What myself and the president spoke about is confidential, but I took it upon myself to not speak on the song because I did not want to further distract either candidate in dealing with the ancillary issues they had to face in order to become the next president of this country,” Ludacris explained. “Now that Barack has won, I can honestly say that we are all fortunate to witness a period in America’s history when we rose to our best.”
In closing, the multi-awarded rapper/actor said, “We stood up and acknowledged that America’s true power is when people come together and focus on our possibilities rather than our differences...Obama’s focus is to bring this country together and move it forward as one united nation. I believe in him and what he stands for and wish him success!”

nice shirt
Props to Luda to keep what he and the prez spoke about confidential for the time being, the song was hot and that's how he (Luda) felt, and of course people were going to try to use it against Obama, and guess what...... IT BACKFIRED! HA!!!!!
word thats cool that he left what they talked about in the office
i just hope obama can make some things better...its gonna be kinda hard for him because his expectations are so high
Ya'll See this lame ass nicca talkn bout Obama like he doesn't represent something bigger than just a nigga who made it... And Like all niggaz who make it they gone have haters... If you got something stupid to say about politics then keep it to yourself you ignorant ass nigga cuz you sound stupid... Gain a better understandin of em before you think about trashin our first black president again...
On a lighter note, that was big of Luda to say what he said cuz I've been feelin the same way about rap music lately... With your Kanye's flippin out and your Weezy's doped up 24/7 who can blame a man raising his duaghters not to like the music they put out... Artists need to be more responsible with the message that they send to these kids today cuz most of them stupid enough to buy into that bullshit...1
Devil u is a fuckin dickhead y would say that ni99a his pops is from kenya africa you dickhead. and som parts of africa is way worse than the us. you dumb bastuard
By the way i feel luda was jus speakin his mind thats wat the fuck frredom if speech is rite
all of africa is worse than us
Yeah he spoke his mind but he should've waited to speak his mind because it could've fucked Obama up you feel me but for that dumb as nigga name Nu JeRzY DeViL. Obama is a politician true but the he don't know the struggle is a dam lie the man's mother was on food stamps, that's the problem with dumb as niggas that don't have no fucking education and they say stupid shit without knowing the facts first
Africa is so fucked up because of european colonialism.
Colonialism, imperialism, whatever you wanna call it, it's the truth. The US also never helps African nations unless it involves American business interests. Read up on Rwanda and Somalia man that shit is fucked up.
When Luda and Obama sat down and discussed the lyrics I'm sure Obama told him that he had to take a firm stance against the lyrics to appease the public. Luda knows what's up, and I'm 100% sure that Obama wasn't all that bothered by what Luda said.
P.S. Controversy sells...
...controversy votes too nigga...
the ends justify the means, son..and if thats what it took to get obama in the office, im glad he did it, and luda prolly would do it again.
.....and luda kinda look like barack's lost nephew or some shit.
@SugarShane^^^^^ You took the words right out my mouth on that one...... good stuff....
Life in Africa can be worse than in America but i´m proud to be African and to live here in Africa. it doesn´t mean that i don´t love America. But i love first africa and second America. No matter where i go i´ll never forget my african roots. Africa lives in me. i gonna die with it. Obama´s victory is not just an afro-american victory but an african victory too.
u know why they call u afro-american and not americo-african ? cause u are first an african and than an american. Africa is on u. In everything that u do. is something that u will never change.
yea yea i agree with u. i'm african (nigerian) american too and used to live in africa and yes it may be worse that the u.s but that does not make me any less proud to be an african. Loved every second spent in africa and will always remember where i came from
Sorry, my english is not good man. I´m from Angola and i speak portuguese....
u dat nigga dat robbed 50's chain huh? haha
whatever forget about luda the election is over we won period
Luda handled that situation pretty good. Cause that song was a horrible look for obama.
It´s not me man. But i saw that robery in tv. it was a shame. Now Ffty knows that real gangstas lives in Angola. ahahahahah....
haha yea right nigga.. u kno damn well u put out da hit on fif's chain
that shirt is hot!
props on the backwoods
roll up nigga!
i get why luda said what he said, but when you speak politics, you have to try and support who you like, instead of just bashing down everyone else just because they are running against your man. although i know worse things have been said about obama, than things that have been said about Mccain, so i understand where luda is coming from
if it was me. right now i should have some money.
why are u talking shit about africa
i'm not american i'm from africa ( moroco )
we live in good conditions as well as ou are
stop talking shit about my continent or i'll shot u niggaz all of you lol
i´m from africa too (Angola) i say that u will shot none my brother. cause i´ll kill u before...lol !!!!!
yo this is by far the funniest DS battle ever right now
I used to dream
Now I sing, sing, sing, sing,
BECAUSE WE SITTIN ON TOP OF THE WORLD!!!!!!
Props to LUDA for even being about to have a one on one with our history making president, and props to our president for the history he has made....
They are truly sitting on top of the world right now....WE ALL ARE!
There goes that dude second son a/k/a my lil'pony, tryin to sound intelligent again. Wigg ya self cutie pie! ScreeeeeeeeewwwwwwwFACE! WUT da F#CKS WRONG WIT YOU!
im not trying to sound intellegent i am intellegent. by your statement you are acknowledging that fact. im deep inside your head stupid. you the one thats taking stuff to heart. that shows a lack of intellegence on your part. i am sitting here laughing at you. get off that emotional shit homie. that feminine shit you doing. all that pony and cutie pie shit is making people wonder about your sexuality you fucking faggot. that me stooping to your level. peace out hater.
go fuck urself!!! u know noting about hip hop... so stick ur finger up ur ass and stick someone's dick in ur mouth before u talk about ma man..
stay out of the hip hop industry and go listen to some pop music i think ull like u faggot.. DTP 4 LIFE..
Wow Second son, seems like this guy doesn't understand big words like european and colonism...... smh@screwface dropping outta school in 3rd grade apparently......... He voted for McCain.....
@stiles, you sure that nigga made it to the 3rd grade.
i wish defsounds or celebully would put the video of black panthers outside of the polls.. now that being said.. would u vote for mccain or have anything affiliated with him on or on ya car n show up if ur older or anything really..
devil is right all polititions want is to be reelected and dont care about the real people no matter what you think they are all out of touch wiht whats really going on obama was raised by his white mother his whole life how is he like the average black man
eminem said it best
Fuck money
i don't rap for dead presidents
I'd rather see the president dead
It's never been said, but I set precedents
at least they walk in stride together.
p.s. luda is mad little
Why does screwface james allways bully second son. Yo leave that dude alone. At least he has something positive to say. I like to hear negative stuff also but screwface got a few screws loose, what the hell is wrong wit him?
i aint worried about that ignorant ass dude, believe that shit. he aint got a life apparently. and besides that i think he got homo tendencies. i dont take the shit he say to heart cause the nigga dont know me. so anything he says about me is pure speculation. some people are scared by intellegence. he's one of those people.
United Nation or One World Government?.. I dont see good things in our furture..
That shows how stupid you are stiles02. I ain't vote for McKain, I voted for 50 Cent like everybody should of. Look at how much money fiddy be makin, he can boost da economy. Fiddy make more then Barack and McKain put 2gether.
McCain is not spelled with a K you idiot!
The sad part about all this is I think Screwface(more like Loose Screws) really did vote for 50 Cent. You can tell this dude never left the hood. As far as Stiles02 saying you haven't made it past the third grade, I think he meant the first. I'm not even trying to shit on you, I don't post comments to go back and forth with people, I actually enjoy your negative point of view but your too harsh with your words. If you toned it down a notch, you probably would have a legit point worth proving instead of having everybody hate you. I'm actually from a city close by yours and heard of your name before and heard that your a loose cannon. Don't know how true it is, but you must be trying to do something positive for once if your sitting in front of a computer instead of criminal activities. Use it to your advantage to get out of the hood, not stay in it. Stay positive! One
First off Cum Stain, u don't know me and stop talkin like u do cuz u don't know shit. Second, how u tryin 2 talk some positive shit with a name like Cum Stain Ricky? Third, no u don't wanna go back n forth wit da kid, u soft like mash potatoes, don't even get me started. And finally, loose screws??? Hahaha, very mutha fuckin' funny. You know da name bitch, dey all do! ScreeeeeewwwwwwFACE, wut da FUX wrong wit U! Out!!!!!
Do niggaz even know Barack's politics. I mean its like niggaz on;y voted for him cause he (half)black. This could have been a set up knowin niggaz was gon vote for a nigga they gon control...try lookin at the same picture three ways and see if you see it the same
its over wit if the niggas sat down and talked then they handled there shit
that freestyle was durty but obama won anyway so its w.e
