"Grammy-winning rapper Ludacris' new song is called "Politics: Obama Is Here."
In the tune, he tears down Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Sen. John McCain.
But he gives props to Sen. Barack Obama, whom he asks to make him his vice president or give him "a special pardon if I'm ever in the slammer."
According to CBS News, Ludacris, who has previously railed against Fox News' Bill O'Reilly and Oprah Winfrey (huh?), uses irreverent language in the rap song and encourages black Americans to propel Obama to victory and "paint the White House black."
The rapper saves some of his harshest critiques for McCain: "McCain don't belong in any chair unless he's paralyzed."
Wow. Thanks a pantload, Ludacris. I'm sure Obama's camp is just thrilled by your support and your divisive and offensive song. Just what his presidential campaign needed.
Naturally, the Obama folks are already slamming the Ludacris song. Listen to it HERE.
Obama spokesman Bill Burton says: "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. 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.""
The Lyrics:
-
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!
Don Omar arremete contra policía testigo
Durante un receso del juicio, William Omar Landrón, nombre de pila del cantante, arremetió contra el policía Neftalí Molina, a quien calificó como un "gusano" de esa fuerza.
A preguntas de Jorge Gordon, abogado del coacusado Rafael Morillo Concepción, el agente Molina reconoció que durante su primera declaración sobre el incidente la madrugada del 8 de septiembre de 2004 no mencionó ante una jueza del Tribunal de Carolina que su cliente tenía en sus manos un cigarrillo de marihuana, como se alega actualmente.
En ese entonces, cuando sometió el caso para la radicación de cargos, el policía tampoco dijo, entre otras cosas, que Morillo Concepción oliera al humo de esa droga.
A su salida de la sala, Gordon no quiso hacer ningún comentario.
En cambio, Joaquín Monserrate Matienzo, representante legal de Don Omar, manifestó a la prensa que "se están sentando las bases para establecer las manifestaciones contradictorias" del agente.
En el interior del vehículo del artista se encontró un arma con el número de serie mutilado, según la policía.
Monserrate Matienzo alega que el caso contra Don Omar es una fabricación y ha dicho confiar en que el jurado absolverá a su cliente.
Las autoridades supuestamente les incautaron un arma de fuego con el número de serie mutilada, tres cigarrillos de marihuana encendidos, 13 cigarrillos "phillies" sin usar y 1.243 dólares en efectivo. Los "phillies" se utilizan para envolver marihuana luego que se prohibiera la venta del papel para esos fines hace unos años.
De resultar culpables, los acusados se exponen a sentencias de cárcel de entre cinco y 10 años sin derecho a libertad condicional.
