While the majority of Hip Hop is singing the praises of President Barack Obama, KRS-One is simply not convinced that Obama represents “change we can believe in.”
In a video that recently surfaced on the Internet through Alex Jones Radio, the Blast Master dropped a freestyle and his thoughts on the nation’s 44th President.
“In four years will we still like him, in eight years will we still hype him?” he asks in the rap.
“The new world order just put on a black face,” he later said.
When the performance concluded, KRS opened up backstage on the state of the nation and the world.
“After we leave the emotionalism alone, what should we be looking out for? Just because we have an African American president doesn’t mean that he’s not going to continue the Bush agenda. I’m not dissing anybody, but a politician is a politician.”
KRS went on to state that he believes the rise of black politicians is the result of a loss of power in the communities that elect them to office.
“If you really want to see what black governance is like, take a look at the mayors of major cities. When the cities were in power, we couldn’t be the mayors, it was when the cities lost power, they put in black mayors. When the states had power, we couldn’t be governors. When the states lost power, we have African American senators and governors.
“Now the nation has lost power, the dollar has lost power. The world is global. Now you can get a black president because it doesn’t matter. It’s global now.”
He went on to warn listeners that the people may be in for an uphill battle to achieve real change in the country.
“If Barack is true to the people, he will have opposition,” he said. “If there’s opposition, we the people will have to fight.”

KRS is on the ball. Obama is just another politician until he proves otherwise. Doesn't really matter if he's white, black, purple, orange. Still a policitian and he'll serve his masters, not the common people.
-
Obama is just another politician but not every politician purports the bush agenda. thats what makes this a bi partisan government. these lazy mulignans won't ever understand that though because they don't partake in mainstream society. I don't care if it's KRS One, he's still misinformed.
-
I like Obama but Mos Def is right..Obama is gonna have to prove himself.
-
he's taking over where bush left off and running with it as far as economic policy goes (inflationary stimulus packages). it's all politicians know. unfortunately obama will likely be as unpopular than bush as the economic crisis unravels over the next few years. of course he will try to shift the blame but people aren't that stupid and it won't work forever. they will eventually see the link between continuing to pursue flawed economic policies and a detoriating situation.

So he basically transcribed his conversation with Alex Jones into rap form?

word to KRS and Matty... get pass that color shit and open your eyes. KRS' on point.

This proves what I've been saying for a while, which is that it doesn't matter what whites do to appease blacks. Blacks like KRS-One will always see whites as "racist" and blame them for their people's downfalls.
Fortunately, whites can still ship KRS-One's black ass back to Africa whenever we feel like it. He should consider his presence in America to be a privilege, not a right.

^^^For God's sake CWalker187, havent you gotten any pussy yet?

Kris is right, even though I think Obama is a man of his principles and is as corrupt as a lot of others in Washington. The machine is much more powerful than one man even if he is president. We'll see more of the same with a few minor changes but get ready for some hard times.

Here's what I don't get. If people can see through this shit, why don't they do something about it. Otherwise, they just need to live with it no matter what happens.

i think a lot of people are just starting to realise, but its pretty much too late. see the latest stimulus plans? 1.5 trillion dollars of government spending/inflation. the dollar collapse is coming really soon. this is not going to take years to happen, the chips are going to start falling already. whether people choose to accept and look closer at the inevitable before it hits them in the face is their own decision.
-
It's saddening how people take an intellectually overchallenged wannabe-analyst like KRS seriously. And I'm not saying his rants were any more intelligent back in the Bush days just cause I would have agreed that administration sucked. KRS is plain dumb, it's as simple as that.
-
obama's administration isn't any better if you look at the bigger picture. it's just more subtle. but time will be needed before people realise this. for now the slick PR is pulling the wool over almost everyones eyes.
i urge everyone to look at economic policies and economics in general closely. the latest stimulus package could be the straw that broke the camels back for the us economy. i believe the economic crisis will go into a higher gear very shortly.

Sounds like KRS is actually using some logic.

-
I agree with most of what he said, and I usually don't.
