Mack: My mom put me on to a track by Ludacris … it's called Politics As Usual
Mello: ur mom? lol
Mack: right!! she said its controversial
Mello: wow
Mack: that's what I said
Mello: we definately need 2 check it out then
Mack: u know what? I don't see anything wrong... I support Luda in this joint... he's using his platform as an artist to speak for the people
Mello: yea, I read the lyrics in an article
Mack: he's just saying what everyone else feels but doesn't have the voice to say
Mello: he's speaking truth…FREE SPEECH!
Mack: He responds to how two-faced Hilary was... I know she was trying to win the nomination, but she did some mud-slinging that was really just dirty
Mello: Free speech has been censored these days
Mack: yeah, it has, but we're not a generation that takes kindly to censorship. We say what's on our mind.
Mello: and folks like Luda shouldn't be bashed based on their personal opinion…the issue that arose with Obama was the fact that he's a parent first and he doesn't want to raise his children on lyrics such as those
Mack: I totally agree with what he said about Jesse Jackson... Jesse said what he said. He knew what he was saying when he said it. Grow a pair and own up to it
Mello: I mean, it is what it is
Mack: now I will say he went a little far with his comment about McCain... but still it's his opinion and the thing is, NOBODY is asking Obama to use this song as his campaign theme
Mello: exactly!
Mack: I think the reason people have such a problem is because Obama publicly endorsed Luda as a "great talent and great businessman" which is still true, but that doesn't mean that Luda is the voice of Barack Obama or his campaign.
Mello: its a case of guilty by association. there's a thin line between love & hate, in this case
Mack: right, and I'm sure Luda is unfazed by this heat. He knew he was getting into a dirty game when he decided to rap about politics but he has a responsibility to speak for the people and to the people
Mello: people love both Luda & Obama but hate what they stand for
Mack: And deep down, I'm sure Obama is like "This shit is dope as hell!" but in the public eye, he's gotta renounce it. But on inauguration day, I wouldn't be surprised if he gives Luda some dap
Mello: lol… right
Mack: like "That track was hot, man." I can't believe he's catching controversy over this... it's ludicrous!! LOL
