Locating Mr. Obama in a hip-hop context wasn’t a stretch, Mr. Davis said: “He’s a come-up story, in the biggest way possible. That’s what a lot of rap is about, grinding hard, making it from nothing to something.

yeah but he still the president though. The FIRST black president so I can see how people would be offended with it. He's the first person of color to reach that high of a position, so smoking blunts in the hood and talkin about trickin and stuff really aint a good look.

She wants a positive image, has she not heard her sons so called music. The Parody version was better than the real version. You wanna do something momz, spank your son for that horrible BET performance.

agree 100%. it's like the pot calling the kettle fat.  
p.s. the video is funny as hell, even more so if you already listen to Flocka - they need to make one for "Lambo Dis Summa"!!!!

p.s.s. listening to "Go Hard (In The Paint)" right now.
