Maybe some Koolaid though, that'd be hot.

Joe Biden’s campaign is pulling out all the stops in an attempt to capture the attention of Black voters. On Tuesday, an ad arrived titled the Ultimate Rap League Biden Get Out The Vote Battle Rap featuring DNA and Charlie Clips.

This was researched, studied, produced, and promoted by a national campaign ...

I don't like the candidates just like I don't like the choice of battle rappers.

I just want this to be over. I don't want to support Biden but I at least have to be sure Trump won't be in office.

Liberals pander like this because it means they might get our love without actually DOING ANYTHING for us specifically. We have to get this clown out of office but I'm not going for it next time around.

we'd be talking about this campaign as an all-time L.

there is still time for that to still be the case but man, LOL. No way in hell should these kind of approaches be the deal going forward.

is inherently racist. Now, of course, depending on how it's done it can easily venture into racism.

I don't even necessarily think it's pandering. I think pandering would have been if Joe tried to spit those rhymes himself lol. That's like a republican taking pictures with guns or Bibles or some shit like that.

I found this way less offensive than that Hillary "I don't feel no ways tired" blaccent bullshit, or Bill playing the sax on Arsenio.
