Fat Joe Receives Standing Ovation for Daddy Yankee Dismissal

I believe in [John McCain's] ideals and his proposals to lead this nation," Yankee said during the ridiculous McCain endorsement. "He's been a fighter for the Hispanic community."
I hope Yankee was lying through his teeth when he said this. Needless to say, he was just endorsing McCain for publicity-- we hope. And boy did it work. But it's not necessarily what the reggaeton star is doing-- it's the promotion of ignorance. If Yankee really means what he says, he sure is reiterating the popular stereotype that P.R is full of illiterate hoodlums who run around in the street bare footed. Republicans don't even care about middleclass whites. Why on earth would they give a damn about some [insert their preferred racial slur] in some dirty Caribbean island? Are you serious? Has he not seen what's happened to this country in the past 8 years? Wow.
In response, Fat Joe told MTV:
"I'm talking to little cousins that like [Yankee] and all that, and they're starting to believe that John McCain is [the best candidate]. I can't have that.
"I opened the newspaper and got sick to my stomach. I felt like I wanted to vomit when I seen that. The reason why I called [Yankee] a sellout is because I feel he did that for a [publicity] look, rather than the issues that are affecting his people that look up to him. How could you want John McCain in office when George Bush and the Republicans already have half a million people losing their homes in foreclosure? We're fighting an unjust war. It's the Latinos and black kids up in the frontlines, fighting that war. ... We over here trying to take the troops out of Iraq and bring peace. This guy immediately wants war. If not with Iraq or Afghanistan, he'll start a new one with Iran. I feel real disgusted that Daddy Yankee would do that. Either he did that for a look, or he's just not educated on politics.
"If he believes John McCain is the better candidate for the Latinos, we could sit down. Even if he wants to get into a debate, we can debate anywhere — New York, Puerto Rico.
"Like I said, with me, my whole philosophy on blacks and Latinos is: We're all one. We're in the same ghettos, same inner cities, and we're suffering from the same problems. Every problem the blacks have, the Latinos have. There's two systems of health care: the one for the rich that's really good, then there's the one for the inner city, where they leave ladies in the emergency room unattended for 24 hours until they drop dead. ... People don't even check on her hours after she's dead. This is normal stuff. This is what's happening in the U.S."
Damn. I didn't know Joe could take his head from out of the South's ass long enough to say something worth listening to. I'm very surprised.
Any black or Hispanic who co-signs a Republican is an idiot. If you're middleclass and under and you support the Republican party, you're just stupid. And anyone who thinks Democrats these days are really true "Democrats," then... figure it out.
I wonder what's next in this installment of Political Drama.

I was walkin past the tv and almost broke my neck doing a double take I was so shocked.....who the hell is daddy yankee going to influence to vote though??For john mcCain or otherwise???Certainly not me so fuck him...
chinx221 - u sound even more stupid, u non-voting waste of space
Oh yea..and the person above me...cyna...is just as oblivious as daddy yankee...Its not just about the hood you ignorant bitch...its about the struggles of the american people in general....Do you live under a fucking rock or what???
I just read chinx221 comment and I feel s/he does not know what the hell he or she is on about.
Fat Joe status in Hip Hop doesnt matter when discussing such issues, as this is bigger than Hip Hop and bigger than Fat Joe its affects everyone even those not living in the USA.
I hear you point that some people dont know Obama's view and are just voting for him as it seems like the thing to do. What Can I say thats just what people do and have been doing for years there vote for the people who appear popular just like in skool.
chinx221 sound like Daddy Yankee can influence yo dumb ass into voting for John McCain anybody that votes for John McCain is a damn dummy to wanna go thru four more years of this bullshit
Chinxxx221 you are a dumb ass. Thnx for checking this n*gga Swagg101. Obama might not be from the hood, but soon as he graduated from Harvard, my man moved to the Southside of Chicago to get it crackin w/the poor folks. Fool, his momma wasn't rich, so the poor and middle class is what he is fighting for. And ain't nobody voting for him cause he black chump! If Clarence Thomas was running for President, I would bet my life that 90% of the black people would not vote for his ass. And that's real talk. So you need to watch what you say.
I hope that Obama's change leads to furthering adult education, cuz your comments sound dumb as hell.
Also, Daddy Yankee is a fucking clown and a joke. And with a name like "Daddy YANKEE", I would expect this fool to vote for McCain's Bush policies. Fuckin Clown. Yankee is just a fruity dude that the girls love.. He don't even represent or run reggaeton. Big up and shout out to Tego Calderon who really run reggaeton.
To this idiot under me...first of all, rap is not even in the same category as politics. We are talking about the people that are running the world, not people who rap...It's so much bigger. If you don't have a name in the industry at all, then who are you to shit on someone else just because they give their opinion. We need more educated minorities in this country. That's our problem now, we have people like you that don't pay attention to the things that matter, only things that really bring us down. People are voting Barack O'bama, not because he is black but because he has a vision for all....u musta been a Bush voter...Anyway, get it right, you will see the change he makes.
Excuse me, I meant the idiot at the top
I think Joe and Reckless make the mistake that all latinos are the same. Cubans have traditionally voted Republican because of Reagan's ain't Castro stance. Mexicans have always been split 60/40 Democratic/Republican. Middle and upper class Mexicans tend to vote Republicans just like most other ethnic groups when they move up in class. This is why latinos get Dems and Reps catering to their issues.
This election is going to be really close and it will come down to 1 or 2 states just like the last 2 elections. Many other minority groups would rather have a white president because they feel he would be neutral and not cater to one group over the other one.
If Obama does win, it will be a lot of people that vote for him for President and vote Republican for the rest of the ticket to restrict what he and the Democrats would be able to accomplish
legislatively.
This is just my opinion because I follow politics and I read articles on both sides of the issues daily. I think most of the people will vote for Obama because they want the Iraq war over with more than anything. I don't think the majority is really feeling the rest of his agenda.
Debonair - for someone who claims to be keyed in on all the issues, your post doesn't sound like it. People aren't as focused on Iraq - the majority of people are focused on the economy. That is the number one issue for Americans.
With a 418 Billion dollar deficit this economy aint going nowhere either black or white president, start looking at the real issues, fat fuck joe and his stupid ass comments on blacks and latinos im latino and i know that black americans and black latinos have it much harder than white latinos, all this latinos stand togeather bullshit its just a cliche for their music and yea im latino and i say it proudly and i tell you this nation is extremely divided fat fucking joe wanna talk about statistics well why doesn't he say the fact that 70% of people on walefare are whites, and that the united states private health care system is the real cause of people being unnatended right and properly and wich neither candidate has views on changing that multibillion dollar business, to me maccain and obama stand in the same spot, they both are just gonna do the same as every other president and that is to look after the intrest of the federal reserve and the private companies over seas.
and please the war in iraq will only escalate before it declines with either of these idiots as commander in chief.
fagg101...go back in your mothers studio apartment and get yourself an education b4 u try 2 sound reasonable like you kno whats going on in politics...go ahead n say somethin else
Chinx221, go down on yourself, motherfucker! You need to be sprayed for talking outta ur arse so fucking recklessly.
We are on the cusp of history in the making..you either be a part of it or u hold your breath...till none's left..
It's a shame Tupac aint here to see the first Black man on the verge of residing in the W.H..RIP Pac.missing you always..

You speak the truth too and fuck daddy wankee too, both of them suck and fuck cuban link as well, latino's should be ashamed, both of the two parties are bought and paid for by corporate elites
and I'm glad I Left the democratic party, because they are nothing but tax and spenders and the republicans are crap too
I'm a libertarian now (although bob barr is a huge joke) and i'm supporting chuck baldwin for president.
Damn, some of these comments are so sad. I mean YES, OBVIOUSLY, ONE MAN CAN'T change the world. But why can't we get out of that negative thinking, and vote for a man (Barack) who at least has a chance to. Why can't we be happy as BLACK FOLKS with the fact that a man of color has been nominated in the first place! I mean why I gotta hear black folks bitching about "the world ain't ready for a black prez", or "he ain't gonna change shit"...I mean this is why we don't advance. Because most of us don't believe. It all starts with us.
Chinx221, No one expects Barack to save the "hood" idiot. How bout our own SAVE the hood? And why even speak on this subject when you sound like you don't even vote? and what the hell is wrong with "Hip Hop" getting involved in politics, ass? I'm proud that Fat Joe spoke on what he believes in. Also, Hip Hop has a MAJOR Influence on the young voters! Thats why they get involved. Duhhh

ITS CAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU, SIMPLE MINDED THINKING POLITICS ITS A GAME OF RACE,COLOR,STATUS, OR HOW LIKEABLE A CANDIDATE IS, YOU DON'T GET YOUR HEAD AROUND THEIR POLITICS AND REAL ISSUES THEY "WANT TO DEAL WITH" DID YOU KNOW OBAMA IS PRO PATRIOT ACT AND IS A MEMBER OF THE BILDERBERG GROUP AND SUPPORTS THE NORTH AMEICAN UNION??? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THOSE THINGS ARE???
ITS BEYOND HIP HOP A MUSIC GENRE IS NOT TO BELONG IN A POLITICAL CAMPAIGN CAUSE OF THE IGNORANCE OF THE MASS POPULATION.

What the hell are you even talking bout? No, i dont think that this is just about RACE. NEVER SAID THAT, I said what I had to say because that is what I hear mostly. but shit, am I proud of a black man running for president? FUCK YEA. Martin Luther King would be proud. I think this is a great moment in history. and I believe Obama has done a great job so far on talking about the 'issues'. AND fuck are you talking bout HIP HOP doesnt belong in politics?
So Mos Def, Common, Talib,and so on don't have anything to say because their "Hip Hop"? They can't reach people? I mean of course politics aren't all about hip hop, but its a good thing that some rappers want to be involved! BECAUSE HIP HOP ISNT ALL IGNORANCE!
And let me say this, it may not be ALL about race, but when it comes down to it, you tell that to the simple minded people who WONT EVER vote for a black man because of his color or religion. So hell yea I'm proud. Fuck out of here. Who the hell are you to downplay something as historic as this? Shut the hell up.
Opinions are like asshole, everyone has one.
ms molly you didnt answer if you knew what the bilderberg group, patriot act, and north american union is, and that your candidate that you are so proud of supports, as does maccain, so no matter if your candidate is black or white, he supports what is destroying the united states right now and as i can tell you have no idea what those things are, nobody in hip-hop mentions these things, they just go about as the associate press does.
chinx, I think you should just leave cus you dont know nothin about nothin, and you just exposin yo ignorance by sayin what you said, and nobody likes you. Man dats one of the smartest things I heard from a rapper inna minute, nobody disrespect to Joe but I wouldnt expect somethin as intelligent as that to come out his mouth. I'm just mad I can't vote yet, I wanted to be apart of this.
Yes, Chinx, please shut the hell up already. Your the idiot who came up with that theory in the first place. We basically just said that THIS ISN'T ALL ABOUT RACE, but if you have a problem with some of us being proud, then kiss my obama loving ass. You don't even make valid points. What a waste of space.
Lupillo, Yes, I am familiar with the NAU. GUESS WHO's BEHIND THE BLUEPRINT??? BUSH! and Obama has a different agenda than Bush. He actually has a PLAN. Obama would like a PARTNERSHIP between Us, and Mexico. I support Obama. and I truly believe hes the man to do it all. The patriot act??? Uhm guess who signed the damn bill? BUSH! I mean like whats your point? Please, since you know so much, PLEASE tell me whats your point? I know who I'm voting for. You just keep on riding that McCain Train.

Nobody is riding the maccain train dummy if both candidates are in the same train ull just be voting for obama cause hes black, so if bush signed the patriot act why doesn't obama do anything to get rid of it, so now u think uniting us,mexico, and canada is gonna bring anything out of it besides start the first step of a one world goverment with the supper highway and central baking system, do you really want zeta traffickers from mexico crossing the border with nothing but an I.D, do you really think its gonna help the economy out with a 418 billion dollar defecit already? i mean do you??
your candidate is on the same train as maccain weather u like it or not, if obama is elected hes gonna be just like bush he will be the builderberg's bitch as every other president has been and not make a difference for african americans or any american whatsoever.
First off, BARACK OBAMA IS NOT EVEN A TRUE AFRICAN AMERICAN. HIS MOM IS WHITE AS RICE AND HIS DAD IS STRAIGHT FROM AFRICA. HIS DAD WAS NEVER A SLAVE LIKE MOST OF OUR ANCESTORS WERE. BARACK IS JUST AS WHITE AS MC CAIN AND THIS GUY CAN'T EVEN RELATE TO ANY NIGGAS FROM THE HOOD CUZ HE WAS NEVER FROM THE HOOD. IF YOU KNOW HIS BIO ,HE WAS RAISED BY HIS WHITE FAMILY AND NEVER EVEN WAS AROUND BLACKS UNTIL HE MET HIS WIFE. HE DOES NOT AT ALL REPRESENT THE STRUGGLE. HE LOOKS BLACK, BUT HE IS A WHITE MAN.
Meezy, naw? REALLY? He was raised by a white woman? His fathers from AFRICA??? Oh no! GOSH!. So damn, he's not BLACK? He can't relate to the N*ggers right? Damn, So because he's an intellectual, and not one of your "n*ggas" he can't save the hood? I mean damn, how would you like him to be "down"?
As usual, this is the bullshit I hear.
Chinx221, i swear u are an idiot.
Yea, I used the term "nigger" you fucking dummy. ITS CALLED SARCASM!I was BEING SARCASTIC. ANd your slow ass couldn't even pick up on it. You dumb fuck, thats what the QUOTATIONS ARE FOR!! I was being SARCASTIC.
And how the hell are you even still debating when JUST ABOUT EVERYONE who commented has already told you, YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT!!
AND just your comment alone is stupid. I mean you said,
"first up top your talkin about how rappers should speak on politics and hip hop is a good influence on the elections,in case u didnt know,rappers are NIGGERS"
Right after you said this bullshit, you should have stopped. Lmao
