Say What?

Hip-hop entrepreneur Russell Simmons says he didn't get emotional when he heard that Sen. Barack Obama had been elected president, but he did get inspired.

"The emotional thing was watching Beyoncé and Puffy and Jay-Z shake people's hands and thank them for their votes," Simmons says.

OK I must be missing something?

The lace wig wearing, booty shaking, can't hold a sentence together, song teef Texan got you more emotional just by shaking people's hands over all of the hard work that Obama and his staff have done over the years inspiring all of these people to get out and vote to make it to the White House??

What next, George Jefferson was more of an inspiration that Martin Luther King to black people?

Go and sit your ass down somewhere with your in the closet self.

I'm tired of this man, trying to garner positivity in the community like he's the Hip Hop version of Jesus H Christ himself. He knows how to make a BIG buck on us by glorifying typical and negative stereotypes associated with the black race the world over. How much of the rap/Hip-Hop under Def Jam when he was president was extremely positive and effective and moved our people [except the highly paid stars] forward in a positive direction?

Does he realise that fans are fickle and were hyped their idols were there and just got to touch them. It was more of a turnout FOR FREE to see Jay Z, Beyoncé, Diddy and Mary J Blige maybe even more so about that event being about Obama.

A sea of a multitude of ethnicities crying, embracing and rejoicing over Obamas triumph is more emotional than that heffer shaking hands with her fans.

When was the last time a politician had this much effect on black people the world over. It's Beyoncé's job to be popular otherwise she has no career, for a politician like Obama it could go either way in the popularity stakes.

For once it's not about Beyoncé n dem. Give me a damn break!

I can't even write anymore this man is a straight up fool.

Although MAJOR kudos for them to take the time out to campaign for Obama. It's Russell I'm mad at not them.
