Lupe Bypasses Obama, "I Want Hillary To Win"

written by Danica Dow
Thursday - January 3, 2008

Over the next month voters across the country will get to pick candidates for the two major political parties. In light of the official beginning of voting season in Iowa, SOHH caught up with Lupe Fiasco to see who he is throwing his support behind.

"I'm not voting for anybody," Lupe told SOHH. "I don't believe in voting on that level. But I want Hillary to win," he says. Surprisingly, the Chicago emcee does not support the junior United States Senator from Illinois, Barack Obama.

"Obama doesn't really impress me like that," Lupe told SOHH. "It's not a shot at him but some of his agendas, the bombing of Iran and all that stuff.* He ain't gonna do nothing but perpetuate the nonsense that all the Presidents before have done, and what Bush is doing now. It's to the point now where the world is so twisted and so messed up that we need somebody to come in."

Tonight's Iowa caucus marks the first major electoral event of the nominating process for the 2008 Presidential election by essentially voting on which candidates should represent their respective parties. Because of its "first" status, the Iowa caucus is especially influential in the process of electing the Democratic and Republican candidates.

If Clinton takes Iowa, she is in a better position to win in the immediate state caucasses that follow.

"I think Hillary will set an example for women all around the world and hopefully effect some change, as opposed to another man pushing for agendas and pushing policies," Lupe said. "I think even if she don't do anything, just the statement that it makes--that the United States is run by a women--would be so phenomenal for the world."

At press time Senators Clinton, Obama, and John Edwards are in a statistical three-way tie according to most polls.




*********************Editors note********************

While all the major Democratic candidates--including Clinton, Obama and Edwards--say they would not remove military option off the table, when it comes to Iran, none have said they support the bombing of Iran.

The Lesson
In-depth music discussion. Want to post about how cute you think Lil' Wayne is? Do not embarrass yourself! Take that somewhere else!

The focus tends to be hip-hop, but go 'head and type about any music you want. Someone here will share your passion.

I'm happy someone in the game finally said that.

Obama isn't the best for the job.

I am mixed. Black and white.

then flipped the script when the block got hot. He's right about needing new blood, but Hilary ain't exactly new. Plus, the fact that she's a woman has zero standing with me. He's just talking out of his ass like he usually does. I know cats are impressed by his intricate rhyme schemes, metaphors and double entendres, but it's bullshit if you're not actually saying anything.

Wasn't Obama lambasted because he said he was willingly to OPENLY talk with Iran in securing peace in the region? Other than Lupe being wrong about that...I have no problem with him supporting Hillary.

Hillary voted to label a group in Iran a terrorist state. Paving the way to bomb Iran.

Lupe, educate yourself on the issues before making silly statements like this one.

At least Lupe is kinda thinking instead of voting for a person who shares the same skin color, but not necessarily the same beliefs. Nice to see that.

On a side note, if Obama gets elected as president, do you think he will be assassinated?

where did I ever say this country has problems? I asked you a question about the ridiculous statement you made and you follow up with an unrelated question and a vague prediction. ooh please, tell me more SP. what will the future be like? hopefully millions of people will be shot in the head so that our country will be on the right track.

...Lupe haters gotta bitch about something

The Cool is selling what it would've sold anyway. It's an okay album doing okay numbers.

_____________
http://24kblk.com

y'all dickriders are quick to take it to the extreme. I didn't say the album was shitty. It's okay. It's not doing phenomenol numbers, they're good for what it is, which is okay. He'll probably go gold...eventually. I wouldn't count on platinum, unless the right single hits at just the right time. Honestly, I don't hear anything on The Cool being that though. There's not a song on it that would work in the mainstream. He's a left of center artist not the next Hov, deal with it.

I wouldn't tell a soul that I didn't vote. Then he's gonna complain about how politicians lie?


You can swim in the Sea of Knowledge and still come out dry. -Norton Juster

“This is why we don’t have nice stuff!” -My band teacher, to the drummers throwing chimes

his POV, who cares... so what he doesnt like obama... yeh there both from chicago...he likes hiliary...

I'll recheck my facts on the Iran issue...but i saw that somewhere early in my research of his career...anyways whatever with politics at the end of the day on a national level...your vote on that level does NOT count...see Electoral College...unless a redistribution of the wealth and moneys made during slavery and the slave trade or an outlaw of the federal reserve system or a withdrawal of all U.S. Forces from soverign nations that no longer require their presence for security or an abolishment of the NSA and Homeland Security and U.S. funded terrorist organizations...then politics and democracy (which the real definition is "social equality" when was the last time u saw that ???) on national level is simply another reality show to keep u entertained and distracted while the REAL world powers get their plans in order to really fuck us over...Read some Chomsky and watch Zeitgeist the movie most of it ain't a bunch of bullshit...good night OKP...Thanx for all the online love on the album...

Go God!!!

Fam so if you know this why even say you want to see anyone win?.... Most of us know its a fucking joke... if you know whats happening why even comment on who you want to win? In all actuality you voted just not with a ballot. You casted a vot verbally and showed support.... Real talk cuzo from chicago nigga to chicago nigga stick to your guns famo and learn when to speak and when not too that will save you a lot of backlash. You probably will take this as disrespect but im just being real with you... you will always get some support from me being from the chi and all but fam take that advice tho..I think you will be aiight

I just know during the debates he said he would openly work with Iran and FOX News jumped all over it (we have secret talks with Iran now btw). If you feel Hillary is the better presidential canidate I'm all for it. Just hoping you weren't goin into it with your facts twisted. She is far more into the sabre-rattling than both Obama or Edwards.

that's more of a precursor to starting war with iran than anything obama's ever done.

obama was not present to vote (so i *would* understand your criticism of his failure to vote), but supporting hillary who DID vote in favor of that bit of saber-rattling is not very sensible if you are anti-war with Iran.

declaring a component of any state's military a terrorist organization is tantamount to saying the whole nation/state actively supports terrorism and in a post 9/11 world is essentially a precursor to war.

imagine how we would act if some country declared the CIA a terrorist organization for its cover activities/assassinations/government destabilizing acts? the u.s. gov't would consider such a declaration to be 'hostile to our interests'.

Thank you for enlightening us. I agree that the electoral college needs to be overhauled. But we need to stay politically active as a people so that in this system those who do decide will at least HEAR us and hear our voice and opinions, and voting is a key part in this. Just look at today's primaries. Obama inspired a lot of young people to go out to the caucuses and participate for the first time. It's a fucked system, but unlike a lot of systems that you can just say "fuck that" to, you still have to play along with this one for the time being... or ensure you get fucked.

Oh jeeze. C'mon man. Aside from addressing all of these (possibly/semi true) conspiracy theories, I will question your support of Hilary... How is she NOT part of this system? She lived in the white house for 8 years. She tried to overhaul the healthcare system and failed miserably. And now she's apparently the democratic nominee who receives THE MOST money from health insurance companies! She's a what, 2 term senator? She IS the system man. Don't let her vag fool you... she is too divisive and it will be politics as usual if she's elected. Electing a woman wouldn't prove any more than electing a black man would, or maybe slightly less. There have already been a few woman leaders in Europe over the past couple decades.


I mean, obviously, being a political science major is not one of your job requirements, but what you just said here and in your original quoted statements just sounds so uneducated on the issue and processes, and I think that being in the position that you are in, dude... please don't speak on politics unless you know what you're saying.


>good night
>OKP...Thanx for all the online love on the album...

hey, no problem dude. The Cool really did make up for the bullshit from earlier in the year, and we appreciate you coming through and posting here.


P.S. I support and WILL vote for Barack Obama.
