Well, Puff Daddy, Ludacris, Kanye West and the rest of the gangstas are pretty fired up already....

He will only help rap music if they can figure out how to work “uh” into every other word.

Obama is the panacea for the black community. If elected everything will be perfect. He will fix black music, he will end the high levels of teenage pregnancy, blacks will stop dropping out of school, and the black crime rate will plummet.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Rape, violence against women, drugs and cop-killing. I don’t doubt it in the least.

When did African-American music die? Does he mean that vile, drum-rhythmic, noise they call gangsta rap?

“Obama will revive African-American music: Spike Lee”

I was unaware that B. Hussein was such an accomplished musician...

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Kinda like the way Stalin revived Russian music and culture. The Obama cult of personality is just as strong. Then next thing you know, we'll be getting stories about what a great scientist Obama is.

[whatshotandwhatsnot]

What exactly is AA music?

And artists have got to lead the way! What way?

I just don’t get Spike nor do I want to.

"He said: "We gotta step it up. This is too important. We should use an event like Barack's presidency, which I feel is probably one of the most important moments in the history of this country, to galvanise us, to inspire us, and, yo, let's go!"

Yo, Mr Spike. Maybe you should "feel" like there is NO Barack presidency just yet.

[J40000]

We need a PRESIDENT to inspire us MUSICALLY??? Okey dokey, Spike...

If that was the case, we can claim that it was President Eisenhower who gave us Rock and Roll! Oh yeah!!! Thanks Ike!

[Emmett McCarthy]

I think they already, uh, do that. This is kinda like the old burnt out anti-war singers hoping to fire up a new “movement” against the war so they could start getting royalty checks again. They smoked and snorted all the money they made back then so they need a fresh source of cash.

I've heard a great deal of African music: but the only African-American "music" I've ever heard has been violent shite about b*tchs and drugs: and sad, tedious repetition of the word 'f*ck'.

Does Spike think he's helping Obama here?

When was it borne?

"We should use an event like Barack's presidency, which I feel is probably one of the most important moments in the history of this country, to galvanise us, to inspire us, and, yo, let's go!"

More important than defeating the Nazi's and saving the world? More important than defeating the Commies and saving the world? Walking on the moon?

Thank God we have Spike Lee to keep our priorities in line!

[Fresh Wind]

Otis Day and the Knights?

[mefistofelerevised]

Another racist using race as the only criteria.

[umgud]

Obama will abuse and take for granted the black voters just like every dem politician before him. Bill Clinton said all the right things while doing nothing for the blacks. Obama will do less for them and they will be sorely disapointed.

[Pravious]

Ah, The Messiah will fix ALL.

And he can call it... um, yeah! I’ve got it... the “Cultural Revolution”...

Revive? You mean OBAMA CAN RAISE THE DEAD?????................
