phamosMore in crazy Obama-bashing: The New York Post totally made up some crap about Obama walking into his Iowa victory party to the dulcet tones of Jigga's "99 Problems." You know, as in, "I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one"? (Ha ha ha ha.) And now it's totally being picked up and reported all sorts of places. One problem: it didn't happen. There is a two hour video of the event available on the web, and you can hear what's playing in the background. No Hova.
How did anyone buy this? Let's leave aside the Hillary/bitch fun (and it is a pretty clever story -- kudos to whoever started this rumor! You win the honorary Don Imus "Nappy Headed Hoes" trophy for the week!), and look at some of the other lyrics:
I got the rap patrol on the gat patrol
Foes that wanna make sure my casket's closed
Rap critics they say he's "Money Cash Hoes"
I'm from the hood stupid, what type of facts are those
If you grew up with holes in ya zapatos
You'd be celebrating the minute you was havin' dough
I'm like fuck critics you can kiss my whole asshole
Or, even better:
Now once upon a time not too long ago
A nigga like myself had to strong arm a hoe
In WHAT UNIVERSE would a major presidential candidate, or anyone approved to DJ events on his behalf, ever ever EVER play this song at a victory speech? Or any speech? Obama's black; he's not RETARDED. Like many of us, Barack Hussein Obama might enjoy listening to Jay-Z at home during his spare time. But, you know, I don't put "Can I Get A" as my outgoing voicemail message when I'm waiting for a potential employer to call, even if my coochie DOES remain in a Gucci name. And I'm not exactly running for president. So.
