I know what you’re thinking: “Why should I care who Young Jeezy endorses more than any other groaning once and former coke dealer with a poor actual-rhyme-to-verse ratio?” But unlike Rick Ross (I presume), Jeezy actually met one of the presumed presidential nominees during a shared Saturday Night Live appearance. “John McCain is cool, but he looks like a fraud to me… I told him the ‘hood was fucked up, and he was like, ‘How you doing?’ Real talk. They know entertainers, so they shake your hand [and say], ‘I’m your friend.’ But my mama is about to have surgery that I gotta pay for out of my pocket because she can’t get insurance. I don’t really feel McCain.” Aw, but I’m sure McCain feels you, Mr. Snowman!
Don’t think that Young Jeezy is going to vote for Barack Obama merely as an anti-Bush move. The main reason he supports the Democratic candidate is that he identifies with him.
“Barack, he has a lot of things going for him. He’s ahead of his time. Given the right chance, he’ll make some type of change. We’ll feel it. I really feel that.
… It ain’t just because Barack is black; he can make change. Just like Bush equals recession, Barack equals progression. I really feel that, all bullsh– aside. He’s gotta come in and keep it right.
I be in the ‘hood every day, and I motivate the thugs. [Barack] motivates me. To see somebody taking that extra mile … like, ‘OK, I can make some change.’ That’s how I felt when I got in the rap game. I felt I could make change. I did.”
If we continue hearing priceless comparisons like this, I wouldn’t be surprised if Trap Stars For Obama got a little Fox News screen time in the upcoming months.
Uh, I know artists don’t make as much as it may seem from their contracts, but can’t Jeezy afford to get insurance for his family? I remember hearing about hip-hop artists (and artists, in general) not being able to afford insurance when Poetic from Gravediggaz was dying. I’m sure Jeezy has a lot more money than him, so what’s the deal?
What happened to “I Put Onnnn for my city” but he can’t put any money down for insurance for his mother? What’s up with that? I think he might be exaggerating a bit much, but there still needs to be change nonetheless.
@KrAzy Che3To: Um, didn’t you read the article? Jeezy already brought change.
And by change, he means shitty ad libs.
