DJ Green Lantern , Russell Simmons & Barack Obama - Yes We Can (The Mixtape)

People like you is why we'll never have a black president, walking an talking around like fucking morons an you wonder why the black race is always looked down on.

COSIGN!!!

Preach on. In this country of the two party system where the winner takes all, you have to pick the lesser of two evils. That individual is up to YOU the voter. I just want to say that people, don't go off of the speeches about hope. If you can't DEFINE the CHANGES that you talk about making, then don't talk about it. The problem is not with the president's. (I know that presidents can screw stuff up). It is about the legislative branch more than anything. Think about it. A person can hold the presidency only 8 years. A senator/representative can hold office for however amount of times he/she gets elected. So if the person that can hold an office longer, especially the one that makes the laws that would help a country. Then you figure it's the CONGRESS that is withholding progress not the PRESIDENT. So everybody, DO YOU. Pick who you think is going to be the right candidate. Remember though, we all need to pay attention to not the scapegoat, the one individual that is in the spotlight all the time due to the singularity of his job position, but the bigger group that makes the laws that doesn't seem to be getting the job done. Case and point is when they Democrats took charge, they took a "break" and watched the NCAA football championships between Ohio State University and Florida. I think the health and wealth of the country is much more important than a football game. Also to yerrrr, thanks for letting people know about the scandalous people that Obama keeps as his or were part of his "circle of friends" that seem to question his scruples. You might think that I am just ranting. The terrorist that yerrr was talking about, I looked him up and found out he was teaching at a prominent university in Illinois. I wrote to the school and asked if they were aware of his past. Also why they hired him. They have yet to get back to me. It has been 6 months. On a side note, I think it is good that the hip hop community is getting more and more involved with politics which in turn makes the audience get involved. It is a good movement. Keep up. " It is better to die on your feet, than live on your knees. " -Emiliano Zapata

It was Bush that single handed sent us to war. "the Bush Doctrine" Also just cause your friend with somebody doesn't mean your on the same page or have the same beliefs as them, be real.

So, if you are a friend of Osama Bin Laden who killed a lot of people on 9/11 with his masterminded plan, but doesn't believe in his strict Muslim beliefs. Is it not your responsibility to bring to justice those individuals that did harm to innocent bystanders? My point is Obama should bring to justice the ones that bombed federal buildings in America. Namely Mr. Ayers. " It is better to die on your feet, than live on your knees. " -Emiliano Zapata

Why obama, isn't this why we are at war , Bush should be the one to do this. Obama is just a senator.

I was talking about the friends you keep and the role as a person in a dilemma of keeping friends who did questionable things. It was a reply to another post. " It is better to die on your feet, than live on your knees. " -Emiliano Zapata

I took a William Ayers course in school am i a terrorist? Obama was 7 or 8 years old when Ayers did that stuff. Republicans associate with Ayers. Ayers won't advise Obama in the White House. Obama is the best candidate. And I think he is quite specific about his change. And vote for Obama please.

most presidents start out as senators you dumbass, bush was his daddies little boy thats why he got in

You lettin them Republican's brainwash you. How is Obama supposed to bring Ayers to justice when he was 8 years old when Ayers was a part of that radical group? The man served on a school board with 15 other republicans along with Ayers, why aren't you attacking your brethren? Ayers was tried in court and acquitted. What should Obama do, put cuffs on him? You sound dumb blood. So you think a United States Senator is friends with Osama Bin Laden? The same Senator that said he would eliminate Bin Laden if he had credible information he was in Pakistan, which McCain refuses to do? The same senator that has better voting rights for veterans than the veteran himself? The same senator that would cut your taxes if you’re making less than $250,000 a year. I don't know how much you make blood, but I fall under that category. You vote for whom you feel is better homie but me personally, I want change so Ima vote Obama. Get your facts right

I appreciate the stimulating conversation that you are sparking with me. Not like the other ignorant fool. I wasn't talking about Obama being friends with Osama. I was saying if you were a Muslim and a friend of Osama and knew that what he did was wrong then it is your duty to bring him to justice. I wasn't saying that Obama was the friend. I was using an example. I know that the Republicans were messing up. You leave one party or any one person in charge too long and they tend to fall off the straight and narrow. That was my point about Congress. I am actually going to vote for Obama and see what he is going to do for this country. My only fear is that a man that has only been in congress for a couple of years and half of it has been campaigning for the presidency, does he have what it takes? I am not saying that Obama should handcuff Ayers but should tell him to admit wrong and do the time that he deserves to do for the acts that he committed towards the innocent bystanders. So before you mistake my comment say I sound dumb, please read what I posted clearly. I also know about the whole taxing situation that each candidate has to offer. Personally, I like it. Also, I think that athletes should be payed salaries that go higher as they play longer and produce. Don't give them multi-million dollar deals from the get go. Pay them a meager pay first. Same goes for actors and actresses. The most important people in this country gets next to nothing. By people I mean teachers, police, firemen, military, and childcare. Once again, I thank you though for having a good topic of discussion. " It is better to die on your feet, than live on your knees. " -Emiliano Zapata

Ok my b for takin that out of context folk. I feel you on the point you bring up about him not being in the Senate for that long but you know what, Washington been on the same bullshit every single year, sometimes we need fresh faces and insightful minds you feel me? Bill Clinton was attacked by republicans for visiting Russia while he was a student in college and I'm seeing the same baseless character attacks going on now. The shit has to stop. I also feel you on the athlete tip. They makin more than people makin a difference in people’s lives, don't get me wrong, some of them are role models, but the majority of them are in it for the dolla, and couldn’t care less about the image they portray i.e. Pac Man Jones. And it kills me they are mostly black athletes doing this to our youth. Respect 2 u tho brotha

I RESPECT you for taking the time to ready my piece in it's entirety before commenting brother. I want change too. I hate how the Republicans did us in. Then they abandon their candidate Bush knowing he is on the way out. People would flip to know that when the modern day Republican party formed that the African Americans were for that party. LOL, now and these days that backing is all but gone. Almost 150 years later. I respect your piece on that some of the athletes are role models. I agree 100%. I don't want too or am trying to attack senator Obama. I wish that he would use his position of power to influence Mr. Ayers. I want that change of having a tax break since we make less than 250,000 dollars. Hell, less than 100,000 dollars. The only thing is that I know that us middle class folks tend to pay and support the lower and upper classes. Do you remember the end of that Jay-Z song where it went something along the lines of all blacks have is sports and entertainment? I wish that people would think about what he said and use it. Like one of them dudes that took the Ice Cube/Killer Mike line "Put the pressure on 'Em." By that I mean turn it around on the political elites and say that it is time for Americans, not just "America" as in the political sense. Oh yeah, on the Washington tip, that was why I said that we need to scrutinize the congress even more and make sure that the jobs are done. What good is having a senator there with all the experience in the past 30 years if in that 30 years, he did nothing that was toward a greater good of the nation? Much Respect to you Smarten up folk. I will be on the lookout for more key discussions with you in the future. " It is better to die on your feet, than live on your knees. " -Emiliano Zapata

wow prolly the best/deepest conversation on here. learned a few new things is the tape anygood

He turned himself in, stood trial and was acquitted. You'd be singing a different tune if it were your brother who was charged with murder and acquitted of all charges. You wouldn't be on Mixtape Torrent clamoring about how your mother should admit to the family that her son is a cold blooded murderer and should do the time he deserves even though the justice system found him not guilty.

so heres the truth about the system that'll f' up your mind they gave alqeada 6 million dollars in 1989 to 1992 and now the last chapters of revelations are coming true and i know alotta people find it hard to follow this because subliminal bigotry makes you hate my politics but u act like america wouldnt destroy 2 buildings in a country that was sponsoring bombs getting dropped on children i was watching the towers although i wasnt the closest i saw them crumble to the earth like they were full of explosives and they thought nobody noticed the news report that they did about the bombs planted on the george washington bridge four non arabs arrested during the emergency and then it dissapeared in the news permanantly they dubbed a tape ossama and they said it was proof jeleous of our freedom i cant believe u bought that excuse rockin a mutha f'ing flag dont make you a hero word to ground zero the devil crept into heaven god overslept on the 7th the new world order was born on sept 11th and just so conservatives dont take it to heart i dont think bush did it cuz he isnt that smart hes just a stupid puppet taking orders on his cell phone and the same people that sabotaged senator wellstone the military industry has it popping and locking looking for a way to justify the wolfowitz doctrine as a matter of fact rumsfeld now that i think back without 9-11 u couldnt have a war in iraq or a defense budget of world conquest proportions kill freedom of speech and have the right to revoke abortion tax cut extortion a blessing to the wealthy and wicked but u still have to answer to the armaggeadon you scripted and dick cheney you f'ing leech you dont you tell them your plans about putting your pipes lines through afghanistan and how isreali troops trained the taliban through pakistan you might have some house niggas food but i understand colonialism is sponsored by corporations thats why halliburton gets paid to rebuild nations so tell me the truth i dont scare into paralysis i know that the cia saw bin laden on dialysis in 98 when he was top ten in the fbi government ties is really why the government lies read it yourself instead of asking the government why because then the cause of death will cause the propoganda to die

MAN EVRYBODY KNOWS OSAMA BIN LADEN DIED B4 9/11 FROM KIDNEY FAILURE, YOUR GOVERNMENT IS THE 1 TO FEAR I.E PATRIOT ACT, FEMA CONCENTRATION CAMPS IN AMERICA AND SENDING PLANES BY REMOTE CONTROL INTO OCCUPIED BUILDINGS TO NAME A MINOR FEW. HITLERS WAYS R BACK AND LIVING WELL IN THE WHITHOUSE. AS FOR OBAMA AND MCAIN WELL ITS LIKE WEN YOU HAD TO VOTE BETWEEN TWO COUSINS KERRY/BUSH, IT DOSNT MATTER WHO YOU VOTE 4 SAME PEOPLE WILL STILL HAVE THE POWER. WAKE UP AMERICANS THE REST OF THE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT YOU.

jordan maxwell mike tsarion u know ur shit ;-)

so what you are saying is that obama is guilty by associaton and if this is true shouldn't Gov. Palin be guilty also her own husband was a part of an orginaization that wanted Alaska to be free from America isn't that somewhat terroristic. the point that i am trying to make is that everyone has associated with someone that has a flawed backround at some point in there life pres. Bush a osama where friends at one point

Ayers turned himself in and was acquitted in a fair trial. Ayers has been associated with Republicans and Democrats for decades after he comitted his crimes. He didnt kill anyone and the only people who did die were other hippie bombers who screwed up the devices. He blew up a STATUE. If you even bothered to look it up, you would actually know this stuff. Youre a dope. believe that.

what are you blind or just plain retarded? who the fuck said 9/11 was done by osama? he got framed, you dumb fuck. that was all done by your white president, george bush. look it up on youtube. cant believe theres still dumb motherfuckers like yaself that still believe to this day it was done by osama. you must be one of them racist rednecks that stick ya head in the ground n walk around

imagine that, the pot callin the kettle black. ( F.Y.I., Youtube isnt exactly, how should i say this..... CREDIBLE!!! ) B.E.Z.

knowledge is king! but u still didn't address who, exactly, are the Muslim friends that mr.Yerrr is referring too. That, I would truly like to know......and further more, if not Mr. Obama, then whom, mr.Yerr, will your bet be cast for?

Yerrr was talking about two white people that are a man and a woman. Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn of his past. They bombed federal buildings in the past. " It is better to die on your feet, than live on your knees. " -Emiliano Zapata

PREACH MY GUY!!!!!!!!!! REMEMBER THAT IF YOU DON'T VOTE!!!! DON'T BITCH!!!!!!!

How about you elaborate on that a little. He's gonna hurt the country how? Is McCain who we should vote for? I doubt you could answer these without being a ignorant ass. i'm sure you never voted in your life.

As much as this country went through, it's all about waiting and seeing.

First elaborate was to yerr. Anyways like I said it was bush that sent us to war. It is bush that has our economy messed up. And yes i voted for Gore, Kerry and Obama for primary's. If you don't vote for Obama than you would have to vote for Mccain, because there is only 2 candidates running left , smart guy. Since you are in the military tell me why are we in Iraq again,and who are we fighting there. Also wasn't it the republicans that aided these terrorist with arms. How about going to PBS frontline and figure out how and who gave them arms.The same arms our soldiers are getting killed by. And another thing Obama is not getting campaign money from big business, he's for the people. I guess he could have made money after college but decided to help the unfortunate in Chicago. Congress can only do so much, it's the commander and chief that got us here. Google I think I know but I really don't

Yeah, I figured out it was for yerrr so I took my post down but you want to not acknowledge that so it's cool. If you read my previous comment that is still left, I did mention 2 party system. I wasn't talking about a slumber party and a frat party. So yes, I know about there are 2 CANDIDATES SMART ASS. We are in Iraq to topple Saddam's regime that killed off innocent Kurds, and Christians that reside in the north and parts of the south. Also, to stop him from using the arms that FRANCE gave to him under the table. Now we are there to help rebuild the nation. Yes, the government of United States gave weaponry to the Afghans, but they ran out of the stinger missle MANPAD system during or soon after the fight with the Soviets. They are using arms from communist countries smart guy. Last time I checked, the Taliban's preferred weapon is the AK not the M4/M16. Also, the terrorist are using weapons and supplies from the nation of Iran. Maybe you should really go to PBS or go to google. That is just my opinion. " It is better to die on your feet, than live on your knees. " -Emiliano Zapata

We are in Iraq because there were supposedly Weapons of Mass destruction fool, not because of ethinic clensing. These were just ther factors to justify overthroing Saddam. There were nowWMD's found and we took on a 10 BILLION dollar a MONTH head ache. The Iraqi government is running an 80Billion dollar surplus, while we spend billions to build their infastructure. We aren't even getting a discount on oil.

See, you bring my point on to a stronger front. You said there were no WMD's , "these were just their factors to justify overthrowing Saddam." I was answering why we are there now. To help rebuild after overthrowing a leader that was sadistic. So you are angry at me for not finding WMD and still overthrowing a leader like him? Your saying that it would have been better to just leave and let him rule when we didn't find the WMD anyway? Come on man. I know that the war is costing us but hey, I didn't tell the president that it was a smart idea to not tax the people due to war. That has been the key to funding a war since way back when in this country. I feel your pain, and by that I mean at the pumps too. Just because I am fighting this war doesn't mean I get a discount brother. Also, I am telling you why we fight now. " It is better to die on your feet, than live on your knees. " -Emiliano Zapata

They got all these songs but they dont have "My President" by Young Jeezy and Nas?? if yall aint hear dat yet you need to step ya game up cuz dat shit go hard and its sum real talk.
