The Reality From out West

Super Fucking Tuesday


February 05, 2008 | Tags: none
As most of you know super Tuesday is today! History will be made for the democratic party. The final decision for who will rep the democrats comes down to an African American male, and a female. Who will you be rolling with? Me personally, I'm going with Obama. I'm not one of the many people who are supporting Obama just because he's black, but at the same time, I'm not one of the many black people NOT supporting Obama to avoid looking like I'm supporting him because he's black. I've heard politicians say the same shit, year in and year out, Obama brings something different to the table. He understands that partisan politics aren't in the best interest of the people, and was even able to acknowledge that one of the few positives Ronald Raegan did do was speak on certain issues Republicans and Democrats could agree on. Add in the fact he has a timeline for a complete exit out of Iraq,and along with other things and he has my support. Originally I just viewed Hillary as a hater, who had nothing to say but negative shit about Obama. Then, when I took the time to watch a debate, I seen I was pretty much right. When she wasn't saying negative shit about Obama, she just said shit I've heard from other people time and time again. Half of her attacks against Obama weren't even well researched. Don't think I expect Obama to get in office and create world peace, save the environment, lower the prices of gas, and get free college educations for everybody. Even if those were his intentions, the president is only so powereful. I just feel that out of the possible choices, dude is the best.

I reached out to some of the best in the game. I asked some people who make music that matters what they feel about Obama. I'm not gonna give out all the names of the people I reached out to, cuz I don't want to make it seem like I'm putting those who didn't respond on blast. It just so happens that two of my favorite emcees did respond however. When hollered at these cats I basically asked them if they thought Obama could win, do they support him, and what do they think about him overall. One of the cats that did respond was the one and only Saigon. In between punching rappers and push for the release of one of the most anticipated debut albums in awhile, he responded with this:

"Yes I think he can win if we go out and support him like we did Kerry against Bush. Also if the older "negroes" would stop hating on the younger brother coming so far in the race and choosing to support Hillary. I would definately vote for Obama because I believe he is genuine about what he says and he understands what us as black people need to at least live decent here in AmeriKKKa. He emphasizes the importance of education and I feel that may be our most important problem, lack of education. Knowledge is power, Peace."

Much respect to Sai for responding, it sincerly appreciated. I couldn't speak on Obama, who has talked about bringing "change" so frequently, without hollering at 1/2 of Self Scientific, Chace Infinate. For those that haven't heard the album "Change", due your self a favor and go pick that up. It's deifnately dope. Every time I see Obama and the word "Change" on his banners I think of Self Scientific. Here's what Chace had to say:

"First of all, I recognize that we are in an unique and strange place in American history. Never before has it been this obvious that the President and the Presidency is only a figurehead for the United States , Inc, carrying out the wishes of the real power,( The Federal Government). It almost seems like all of the conspiracy theories that brothers involved in the Golden Era rapped about, have come to , and are coming to pass. The Patriot Act was passed, The Towers/ Katrina set off the recession, real-estate has dropped, the dollar sucks, niggaz keep getting killed by the police i.e. Sean Bell and we are stuck in a war that nobody wants to be involved in. That being said, I am not surprised that as we move closer to Nostradamus' proposed 2012 doomsday, a black man is now being considered to lead the country and his competition? The only thing that the white power structure arguably respects less than niggaz...a white woman.

I, being a natural skeptic and a bit of conspiracy theorist myself believe that there is something somebody ain't telling us. Barak Hussein Obama? In a time when America's biggest enemy is/was, Sadddam HUSSEIN? hmmmm.....He was born in 1961 in Hawaii to a white mother and an African father? Not a nigga from Detroit but a authentic Kenyan? How many niggaz from KENYA was fucking with white women in Hawaii in 61'. Something is going on, my conspiracy antenna is glowing right now. I mean seriously, how did a Muslim, 42 years old, of African descent , named BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, become a presidential canidate? maybe I dont really want to know the answer to that question.

That being said I am still pulling and voting for the brother because, of one reason....I'm hoping he is the spook that sat by the door, rather than the scapegoat America will use to turn the last corner in the race to finalize the New World Order. I agree with Brother Barak when he says we need Change, hell I wrote a whole album about that in 2005. I just don't know if he has he ability to usher in the type of Change we truly need. I don't think America is truly ready to embrace a black man as their leader unless he is leading a basketball team or rap department and even then he heavily scrutinized.

I don't understand niggaz like Bob and Magic Johnson not rollin' with Barak, regardless of your previous affiliations, you gotta roll with the niggaz. It's like going to jail and a riot breaks out, no matter what you fight with your kind, at that point all of your personal relationships and affiliations go out of the door. Sounds ignorant right?...real shit though.

Does he have the passion yes, does he have the education ..yes and does he seem to be in tune with the current youth movement affecting the world ..yes , but we still need CHANGE no matter who sits in that seat, and that Change starts with the self."


Much props to Chace and Khalil, once again go cop that "Change" and while your at it, get "The Self Science" and "Gods and Gangsters".

You guys make your own decisions. I'm just not feeling Hillary, if someone can tell me why someone should vote for her, without saying "Obama voted present a bunch of times"...please, do so. That's all people have been able to tell me, and even then their not saying why to vote for Hillary, there saying why NOT to vote for Obama. Either way it goes, I'm glad the attention this has brought to the primary, and I think from here on out, not only will we have more people voting, we'll have more people aspiring to become politicians. Now blacks and females can actually believe they REALLY have a chance of being President. Maybe the power will actually be in the hands of the people. That last one was probably just wishful thinking and I may have gone to far, however, with Bush leaving office, things are definately getting better. On that note, I'm out, I'll be back soon.
