With election around the corner, entertainers, namely rappers are throwing themselves into the mix. First Nicki Minaj was blasted for rapping her alleged support for republican candidate Mitt Romney – she later clarified and thanked President Obama for understanding her sarcasm. Next up to throw Romney in their rap was Kanye West,
“I’m just trying to protect my stacks / Mitt Romney don’t pay no tax,” West raps on “To The World,” a song which also features R. Kelly. The lyric is an obvious reference to Romney’s low tax rate and refusal to release a substantive number of tax returns.
Next up to jump in the political race is Snoop Lion, formerly known as Snoop Dogg. It may not be the endorsement that tips the scales in the upcoming presidential election, but President Obama received a profane yet well-reasoned endorsement from Snoop Lion, at the Toronto International Film Festival.
“They need to give Obama four more years, man,” he said. “[Former President George W.] Bush [expletive] up for eight years, so you gotta at least give [Obama] eight years. He cleaned half the (expletive) up in four years, realistically.”
Snoop continued, telling reporters, “It ain’t like y’all gave him a clean house,” Snoop Lion told reporters. “Y’all gave him a house where the TV didn’t work, the toilet was stuffed up. Everything was wrong with the house.”
