Obama aint no friend of mine sister!
I am disappointed with the Barack Obama Campaign when I learnt that they played notorious Jay-Z’s 99 Problems rap blaring when the candidate “triumphantly” took the stage after winning the Iowa Caucus. Like most wannabe Gangsters (Gangstas), Jay-Z doesn’t like women. The majority, if not all rappers encourage chauvinism amongst younger listeners. This song is offensive like most of Jay-Z’s work. The song 99 problems most popular lyric: “I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain’t one” was blared through the audience.
The “but a bitch ain’t one” implies Hillary Clinton. Obama has made a gross mistake in being the first to throw a campaign pie at a member of the same party. I can tell you one thing, Obama is no friend of mine.

I suppose Jane Doe, Salt N Peppa, Queen Latifah, Mary J. Blige, Jean Grae, Pam the Funktress, and ect. too also promote chauvinistic attitudes toward woman. I mean, it isn’t like half of all rappers are woman or anything like that. If it’s signed rappers, then I’d agree there’s more guys. But for people actually rapping in clubs across North America, and not just on records, the numbers are the same.
Yes, it’s all the rappers, and has nothing to do with how corporate interests promote the crud and ignore the gold ala this Blackstar rap:
