In the middle of this interview with rapper DMX

[Miktar]

In the middle of this interview with rapper DMX, it becomes clear that he's never heard of Barack Obama before.

Q: Barack Obama, yeah.
A: Barack?!

Q: Barack.
A: What the **** is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?

Q: Yeah, his dad is from Kenya.
A: Barack Obama?

Q: Yeah.
A: What the ****?! That ain't no ****in' name, yo. That ain't that nigga's name. You can't be serious. Barack Obama. Get the **** outta here.

Q: You're telling me you haven't heard about him before.
A: I ain't really paying much attention.

Q: I mean, it's pretty big if a Black...
A: Wow, Barack! The nigga's name is Barack. Barack? Nigga named Barack Obama. What the ****, man?! Is he serious? That ain't his ****in' name. Ima tell this nigga when I see him, "Stop that bull****. Stop that bull****" [laughs] "That ain't your ****in' name." Your momma ain't name you no damn Barack.

ROFL ...

Funny from a guy calling himself DMX. At least that way he knows how to spell his name I guess.

[Cloud_Ratha]

Lmao i never did take rappers come actors for having much intelligence... shame

[BattleMoose]

Is this democoracy succeding or failing I'm really not sure.......

[Kensei]

Oh dear :(

Given the fact that people look up to these rappers (I can only assume, I don't really enjoy their music, nor their mentality) it does not bode well that they don't give a flying hoot about who their next president is. 'Who cares who Barack Obama is?' he'll likely care when the next president bans all rap or something :D

Moving on...

[Toi]

I think that anyone that looks up to "rappers" (note db how I said "rappers" as in commercial bull**** "rappers") is just as big a douch as DMX. What has become of humanity?

[dammit]

And yet, his vote counts in the most important elections in the world...

[infinitely_blue]

I dont care what he thinks of Barack Obama's name so long as he votes for Obama! :D

GOBAMA!!

GOBAMA!!

You think that someone who doesn't know the name of one of the main candidates is going to vote?

[Fredder]

DMX= Dumbass to the power of x . . . x= any insanely large nr . . . LOL!!!

DMX:"My name DMx yo, who the f%*# are you?!!!", Obama:" How about you call me Mr. President . . ."(almost)

This guy hasn't been under a rock for the last 6 months, he's been the rock.

[Nferno]

Jeez, and this surprises people?

The man has "woof woof" in his lyrics for gods sake.

Hey people in this country vote all the time for or against people they dont know just cuz it is their party

[Toi]

^^ True, or they just close their eyes and tick a box.

I really should start playing devil's advocate on these boards again and start flinging around how metal/rock/whatever is "degrading the youth into doing stupid ****", but I pulled my head out my ass some time ago. That and studies are keeping me busy so yeah.

DMX is a ****** and has the lyrical depth of My Chemical Romance.

You did read the article you just linked to?

[.dB]

Nope.

[Nferno]

Nope.

Then you should have. They killed her because she was a metalhead.

I don't know how this applies to metal degrading the youth :/

[Squirly]

Either the sarcasm on this board has reached an unprecedented level, or nobody gets anything anymore.

I know I don't.

*cries*
