DMX on Obama (March 21, 2008)

Some comic relief at the end of a dramatic week. Via Alex Massie, here’s rapper DMX on Barack Obama:

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 f*ck is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?

Yeah, his dad is from Kenya.

Barack Obama?

Yeah.

What the f*ck?! That ain’t no f*ckin’ name, yo. That ain’t that n*gga’s name. You can’t be serious. Barack Obama. Get the f*ck outta here.

You’re telling me you haven’t heard about him before.

I ain’t really paying much attention.

A judge in Arizona sentenced US rapper DMX to three months in prison after he was found guilty on drug, theft and animal cruelty charges.

"I'm not sentencing DMX today, I'm sentencing Earl Simmons," Maricopa County Superior Court Commissioner Phemonia Miller said during the hearing. "I don't know DMX. Mr. Simmons, it's time to do something different. What you have been doing is not working."

DMX had given authorities in Phoenix a false name and tax file number to avoid paying a hospital bill. The charge of animal cruelty was raised after authorities found 12 neglected pitbulls and the cadavers of three others while searching the rapper’s home.

Simmons was arrested in Miami while attempting to purchase cocaine and marijuana and also fell into the long arm of the law again in December after missing a court date.

Simmons’ wife, Tashera, who said she has known Simmons since they were 10 years old, talked about how Simmons was a hero to his four children. But she also took him to task, saying, “In some crazy way, he’s getting a reality check.

“I saw him gain the world, and in the process lose his soul at the same time.”

3 months at Camp Arpaio should clear this thug’s head a bit. Unfortunately his stay won’t run through the scorching summer months.

How insightful, Biblical and oxy moronic at the same time.
  1. Matthew 16:26
    For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
    Matthew 16:25-27 (in Context) Matthew 16 (Whole Chapter)
  2. Mark 8:36
    For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
    Mark 8:35-37 (in Context) Mark 8 (Whole Chapter)

I’d have jailed DMX for fraud, myself. He is fraudulently claiming that Rap is music!
