DMX Has Never Heard Of Barack Obama

In case you have yet to see this choice XXL interview with DMX, here’s the highlight:

XXL: Are you following the presidential race?
DMX: Not at all.

You’re not? You know there’s a Black guy running, Barack Obama and then there’s Hillary Clinton.
His name is Barack?!

Barack Obama, yeah.

Barack?!

Barack.
What the fuck is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?

Yeah, his dad is from Kenya.
Barack Obama?

Yeah.
What the fuck?! That ain’t no fuckin’ name, yo. That ain’t that nigga’s name. You can’t be serious. Barack Obama. Get the fuck outta here.

You’re telling me you haven’t heard about him before.
I ain’t really paying much attention.

I mean, it’s pretty big if a Black…
Wow, Barack! The nigga’s name is Barack. Barack? Nigga named Barack Obama. What the fuck, man?! Is he serious? That ain’t his fuckin’ name. Ima tell this nigga when I see him, “Stop that bullshit. Stop that bullshit” [laughs] “That ain’t your fuckin’ name.” Your momma ain’t name you no damn Barack.

So you’re not following the race. You can’t vote right?
Nope.

Is that why you’re not following it?
No, because it’s just—it doesn’t matter. They’re gonna do what they’re gonna do. It doesn’t really make a difference. These are the last years.

But it would be pretty big if we had a first Black president. That would be huge.
I mean, I guess…. What, they gon’ give a dog a bone? There you go. Ooh, we have a Black president now. They should’ve done that shit a long time ago, we wouldn’t be in the fuckin’ position we in now. With world war coming up right now. They done fucked this shit up then give it to the Black people, “Here you take it. Take my mess.”

Right, exactly.
It’s all a fuckin’ setup. It’s all a setup. All fuckin’ bullshit. All bullshit. I don’t give a fuck about none of that.

  3. Complaining Portnoy Says:

    What a complete and utter moron. I’m glad this idiot can’t vote.

  4. the minister Says:

    with replies like this…y’all gon make him lose his mind up in here, up in here!

    DMX is mentally ill, but people stand to make lots of loot off of him so they exploit that and probably hinder him from getting the help he needs. a sober and/or adequately medicated DMX can not make raps that sell records. which, now that i think about it, is the best thing all the way around.

    He’s got a point, though- the “mess” is going to fall to the next administration to clean up. Hopefully world war is not the sponge and squeegee necessary to right the wrong that is American foreign policy ala “the W Krewe” (aka Current Regime). Somehow, I think Barack is a peace-loving man. DMX, I think he knows how to make a good living, doing what he does best.
