Fans of Lil’ Wayne probably thought it was great when Barack Obama praised the rapper at a campaign event, but just check out some of his lyrics.
From the Swampland.
Take the lyrics of Lollipop, the aforementioned song which, if you have not yet heard on the radio, then your children certainly have. As is the habit of most modern Hip Hop, it is a song of sexual conquest, with Lil’ Wayne boasting of his ability to attract women and enjoy their company. Not so interesting, you think? Check out this set of lyrical couplets:
I get her on top / She drop it like it’s hot
And when I’m at the bottom / She Hillary Rodham
In the song, these lines are meant as a compliment both to the girl in his bed and the former presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, whose take-charge, ready-from-day-one attitude the artist apparently admires. Of course, the precise context of the compliment is insulting to millions of Americans, but then the Lil’ Wayne oeuvre is not exactly sensitive to such considerations.
It makes you wonder if Obama has actually ever listened to the rapper or was just trying to portray himself as hip.

3 Comments for Obama Praises Foul-Mouthed Rapper
I for one am not impressed with “rap,” the “rapper,” or his radical promoter. Yet I am
also not too surprised by any of the three given
the obvious lack of ethical concern expressed both
in the concepts and lyrics of the music(?) or by
the performer and promoter. Two things it seems to
further reveal are: first—the limitation of some
individual’s focus of attention, and next, that
“birds of a feather do tend to flock together” no matter what their level of sophistication and
“judgement.” Can’t we just envision what great
solemnity and dignity a White House event will
have, if-God forbid, the U. S. Marine Band is
replaced by a “rap band.”
You two are entitled to your opinions. Though BOTH seem rather single storied,
and VERY PREJUDICE. Do not think that putting something on blast such as the
artist Dwayne and President Obama will make you any better of a person.
Take a look from a greater perspective.
Obama ain’t nuttin’ but a porch monkey.
