DMX knows lots about hoes, little about politics

DMX has never heard of Barack Obama

Turns out DMX is not quite the political expert his appearance may suggest. In the may issue of XXL magazine, the rapper was asked his opinion on the presidential race:

Are you following the presidential race?
Not at all.

You’re not? You know there’s a Black guy running, Barack Obama and then there’s Hillary Clinton.
His name is Barack?!

Barack Obama, yeah.

Barack?!

Barack.
What the fuck is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?

Yeah, his dad is from Kenya.
Barack Obama?

Yeah.
What the fuck?! That ain’t no fuckin’ name, yo. That ain’t that nigga’s name. You can’t be serious. Barack Obama. Get the fuck outta here.

You’re telling me you haven’t heard about him before.
I ain’t really paying much attention.

I mean, it’s pretty big if a Black…
Wow, Barack! The nigga’s name is Barack. Barack? Nigga named Barack Obama. What the fuck, man?! Is he serious? That ain’t his fuckin’ name. Ima tell this nigga when I see him, “Stop that bullshit. Stop that bullshit” [laughs] “That ain’t your fuckin’ name.” Your momma ain’t name you no damn Barack. (Source)

Regarding John McCain, DMX said:

On some issues, such as free trade, [McCain] has an excellent record. He also is the only candidate who seems even slightly interested in controlling the size of government — a mindset that is desperately needed after the reckless spending increases of the Bush years. On the other hand, Senator McCain has a less-than-perfect track record on taxes. His reliance on class-warfare rhetoric while opposing the Bush tax cuts was particularly unsettling. Moreover, he seems susceptible to getting lured into a “budget summit” with Congress, which inevitably would mean Republicans lose their shirts and the economy gets saddled with higher taxes and higher spending. Last, but certainly not least, his infatuation with global-warming alarmism suggests he would acquiesce — or even lead the charge for — a massive increase in the regulatory burden (though the Democrats surely would travel down the same path).

Or maybe he didn’t say that . . . oh yup, my mistake, that was actually from a Wall Street Journal columnist. I’m always getting those two confused.

    Barack Obama…”Yes we KORAN!”

  2. Carlos

    It’s funny, the first part was probably exactly what Bill & Hilary said in private when they first heard about him.

  3. Just Saying

    That’s just sad. STFU! Damn!

  4. Pinkey

    He’s known to hit the pipe and drink a bit much. No doubt.

  5. YOYO
  6. Ack!

    Wow. Good thing his life’s not affected by government or anything. The price of insulation, maybe…

  7. allie

  8. Publiscist For Hire

    They have cleard him of most of the dog fighting charges, people. You guys know that he can’t read, so stop expecting so much! Nothing to see here…

  11. Oh Hell Naw!

    I’m so ashamed, for a second I really thought that second paragraph came from DMX.

  12. Rhonda

    I can’t stand rap music, but I think DMX is hysterical.

  13. Miksu Suomesta

    Barack is a more believable name than some American black names. When I was in the US I saw a woman name “Lashonda”. Is it just me, or is that not weird? As for DMX, I speak better English than him.
