Snoop may be torn between Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton, but 50 Cent has already made up his mind. The G-Unit rapper says he's throwing his weight behind the former first lady.
"I think she could do a good job," 50 told Fox News recently. "There's nothing bad about Obama in my eyes either," he continued, "but I think Hillary would be my choice. I don't think America is ready to have a black president. I think they might kill him."
Meanwhile, other hip-hop bigwigs like Diddy and Russell Simmons have urged young voters to participate in the electoral process this Super Tuesday. "The 2008 Presidential Election is the most important of our lifetime," said Simmons in press statement. "I am so proud that young voters are already weighing in, in record numbers." He added that young voters will make a "critical difference" in the ongoing election.
It goes without saying that the hip-hop community is paying attention to the presidential election, and it will be interesting to see what kind of effect a massive youth turnout will have on the primaries.

Hey FIF…do you remember in the late 80’s & early 90’s when tipper gore & hillary clinton wanted to take away free speech. Those B*TCHES are the reason why YOU (a so called artist. if its called art?)& record companies have to put the “PARENTAL ADVISORY” label on music with explicit lyrics. They were the ones who were major supporters & pushed to get that bill passed. they want to take away free speech. do you think that her views on free speech has changed in the last decade? You would be an idiot to be so nieve. like it or not this country needs a wake up call. Obama is the better CHOICE & best for the job white or black. YOU ARE A SELL OUT & A COWARD. YOUR COMMENTS HOW SPINLESS & IGNORANT YOU REALLY ARE. Hillary will ruien this country we will have another depression. OBAMA for pres!!! Stick to making crappy subpar albums or go back to selling crack or crap. I mean crap because thats all you put out is crap. All YOU YOUNG voters heed my words. This counrty is ready for it. We need a change. We’ve got to change our own minds about each other. We have to see each other with new eyes. We have to see each other as brother and sister.

^Obamma is about change he is the canidate who thinks of why he should be president while hilliary thinks of how she will win. she voted for iraq now flip flopped she says whatever she needs 2 win.
hiteyFordSR u gotta understand that many people just vote for her because of how great he husband was. but i think its . its like cheating…bill probally would support obama based on his views.
Spoken like a true idiot. Brains & talent?? Maybe talent but brains??? Come on. Hillary would destroy this country buddy. I am a US Veteran that fought for this counrty. When push came to shove instead of raising military pay the clintons closed over 20 military instalations across the world US. No president in the history of the US has ever done that. By doing that that kills the local econamy wherever that base is located. military personel bring in millions of dollars for local econimies each year. Clintons want to cut military funding. The only way to do that is to close bases. No base! No jobs! No buisnesses = slow glide into local depression. Thats just 1 example Dusty. Do your research before you hit the polls. OBAMA will give us a clean slate to work with.
I personally prefer Obama. I think he has more of what it takes to lead our country and bring us together, but if Hillary won the primaries, I would support her. Basically I want a democrat in office.
I hear what you are saying but facts are facts. Hillary & her husband did a lot of damage to the econamy. I don’t want to come off racist but white people have been running this country since the dawn of time. It’s time to go another way here. We live in a diverse nation. For the past 50 years the government has over looked, forgot about, didn’t give a rats azz about(a entire race) or was only concerned about taking care of there own. It’s time everyone to grab their balls & do the right thing this time around. Hillary flip flops u r right & she is only concerned about minorities when an election is coming. Ask yourself what she & billy has done the last 8 years for minorities? Not a damn thing!!! What wrote a book?!!! I’m done. shes a loser. VOTE OBAMAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i wonder what eminem thinks about this? don’the hate clinton? lol
actually when bill left office the national budget was 200 something billion and the govt. was actually making money so get your facts straight. its bush who was bad running the budget up over 3 trillion (and no one thinks well stay under) and putting us in debt to other countries like china so bill was cool with me
Billy left office it was the best thing to happen since file sharing. 200 billion try more. Every president since Rosavelt has screwed up the econimy. For this counrty to get out of debt we need to stop buying oil from the arab countries & use nucleaur power for a power supply instead of a weapon. 2 things that will never happen. the government like always support big buisness. BK for your info Billy sold our nucleaur technology to china. ZThat is why they are a bigger threat then ever now. And that is why Billy was able to keep the buget from growing to much.
Hillary has fought for veterans for a very long time, like calling attention to Gulf War Syndrome as First Lady, and pushing Congress to provide armor for our troops and their vehicles in Iraq. She recently came up with a new GI Bill of Rights, which would increase opportunities for veterans to get education and homes and provide low-interest loans to start their own businesses. Her bill would also cut red tape for military personnel to receive the benefits and the healthcare they need, and crack down on evil lenders who target military families.
I think the world needs real change, vote independent, vote for Mike Jingozian for president. Only then can we have change replacing republicans and democrats with more democrats and republicans for centuries now has done nothing but cause the system to become stagnant. Libertarian views are the views of LIBERTY, cut the cord and live a little.
