DMX: Keepin’ the Political Process Real

By Mr. Atoz in Music, Talking Heads

dmxDMX is a highly successful rapper–which, given my oceanically vast ignorance of the genre, means that up to now I’ve barely been aware of his existence. But that’s going to change, because DMX is clearly a man with something to say. In an interview with XXL magazine, the rapper shared his thoughts on the current dominance of Southern rappers (“What do I think about Southern music?… I really don’t think about it”), music downloads from the internet (“I don’t even think about it. I don’t even think about it”), and the presidential race:

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.

Believe it or not, this goes on for a while. DMX thinks he can’t votehe has an impressive rap sheet, with a couple of animal cruelty chargesbut his record doesn’t include any felonies, so that might not be accurate. All things considered, however, it’s probably just as well if he goes on believing that for about eight more months.

Don’t worry as soon as DMX gets my campaign letter from Shaquille McCain I think he will know who he should support. It’s just a matter of properly educating people about the choices available.

I have never been more ashamed of the perpetuating ignorance some black people in the Media portray. Or in a language DMX will understand: Pick up a fucking book, dawg.
