Lil' Wayne is one popular rapper and avid skateboarder. |
Lil' Wayne is a signed artist on Cash Money Records. He's also the founder of his own label Young Money Entertainment.
Cash Money Records is by far one of the most successful record labels. When people were thinking of writing off the label after losing the label's veteran rappers Juvenile and the B.G., people are now seeing the revamping of the once Southern based hip-hop conglomerate.
It's become more pop friendly with the additions of Nicki Minaj, Kevin Rudolf, Busta Rhymes, Drake, Tyga, Bow Wow and even rock band Limp Bizkit.
Well the Dedication 4 is by far one of the most successful mixtapes this year. DJ Drama and Lil' Wayne (born DeWayne Carter, 30) collaborated on the mixtape with the latest instrumentals from hit singles.
Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama were not spared from the lyricist.
Under the instrumental from Southern based rapper Ca$h Out, Lil' Wayne takes a shot at the Republican nominee in his usual fashion. He blasted the Republican for trying to be discrete about his personal finances.
"As another election year upon us. This last four years has been good to me. A couple of dollars in a couple different bank acccounts. Some here, some off shore. N---a call me Mitt Dram-Ney!"
Today, Mitt Romney released his tax returns to the public. He's made over $13 million dollars and paid slightly over $1 million in taxes at a 14.1% federal income rate. The Republican faced harsh criticism for not showing his tax returns in early 2012.
Lupe Fiasco is a Chicago based rapper who wrote hits for some of the greatest rappers. He's also an avid skateboarder. The rapper is very critical of President Barack Obama. He got into it with comedian D.L. Hughley on Twitter about his decision to not support the president. Lupe Fiasco is not a fan of Mitt Romney either. |
Now it's known that Nicki Minaj is likely going to support the president, but the conversation hampered on her for even thinking of voting for such a person like Mitt Romney!
But who cares? I mean isn't Nicki Minaj entitled to vote for a candidate she supports?
Scarface, the legendary Houston rapper is a registered Republican. He's one of the best rappers in the history of hip-hop.
Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg were in the crosshairs of conservative agitators such as Matt Drudge, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity for endorsing the president.
Nonetheless, hip-hop has been an impact on the youth vote. Many in 18-29 age bracket are now involved in politics. President Barack Obama won overwhelmingly the youth vote against Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) in 2008.
Ludacris cross the ire of his nemesis Bill O'Reilly when he rap a verse complaining about Hillary Clinton and George W. Bush. The conservative agitator wanted the Obama Campaign to disavow the rapper. And they've done so at the will of pressure.
Lupe Fiasco is different from the rest. His rant with D.L. Hughley made the splash on The Drudge Report.
On the hip-hop station, V103 FM Atlanta's website, the comments are so vile, they've closed off conversation due to racial slurs and derogatory things aimed at the president and the Black community.
The conservatives actually embrace him as the only rapper who makes sense. Now it's kind of awkward to have Bill O'Reilly interview Lupe Fiasco, but it's no different from the interview in 2002 with Cam'Ron and Damon Dash.
Lupe Fiasco called the president a terrorist in 2009. Also the rapper engaged in a minor feud with young rapper Chief Keef over a issue of Lupe Fiasco's Bad Bitch single not getting strong airplay. The rapper denounced the radio stations that refused to play his music and thought of retiring from the music industry. Chief Keef has got into it with him on Twitter bragging about his single "I Don't Like" getting major airplay and threaten Lupe Fiasco personally. They've settled their feud.
The controversy between D.L Hughley and Lupe Fiasco came over the fact, the rapper isn't voting for the president and Mitt Romney.
Lupe Fiasco didn't say he was a role model so it wouldn't matter if he decides to not vote. He can't complain about things if they don't turn out their way!
