Here’s an excerpt from an interview with rapper DMX (Y’all gon’ make me lose my mind! Up in here! Up in here! Y’all gon’ make me act a fool! Up in here! Up in here!) from XXLmag.com.
Apparently he is not a fan of Presidential politics.

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.

Okay, now I can understand being fed up with Presidential politics, or perhaps, the media coverage of Presidential politics. I mean I don’t follow things all that closely because I get fed with with all the bullshit media opinions and detail-by-detail coverage of the candidates shennanigoats.

But I can say this: I have heards of all the major Presidential candidates (both Democratic and Republican) and have some general idea of who they are and what they claim to stand for. I mean, I do have a television set so that is pretty unavoidable. Does DMX not have a TV? Or internet? Is his cable out? Is his DirectTV sattelitte dish on the fritz? Does he not watch Saturday Night Live? I mean, just now Amy flipped the channel from a basketball game and when I looked up, there was Barack Obama. Somebody please get DMX’s television repaired already! Or check and see if his modem needs to be repaired.

Or maybe he’s just supporting John McCain. Or Ron Paul.

DMX, Barack Obama, John McCain, Hillary Clinton
