White Rapper Disses Obama Over Ludacris' Recent Obama Support Track Ludacris' mixtape track "Politics As Usual," which was recorded in support of presidential hopeful Barack Obama, received a lot of attention lately -- mostly negative. It was blasted by Obama's camp, and now, a white rapper from New York is expressing his disgust for it.

New York rapper E-Shy, an Irish Jew from Harlem, takes the liberty of targeting Obama over Luda's mixtape track, which he calls "racist and irreverent."

In E-Shy's new song, simply titled "Obama Diss," he accuses Obama of receiving support from the same people who support Al-Qaeda. "What can I say Mr. Obama / you're full of fiction like a drama / the same people that's supporting you who supported Osama," E-Shy raps.

Later, he claims that Obama left his longtime church, in Chicago, only after he received flack because of its controversial pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. "Mr. Obama, you got no heart / You dis-owned your church because you figure it's politically smart ... He was shocked that his pastor hated whites / Obama's been in that church 20 years, yea right / Ludacris says Obama should paint the White House black to scare them / I wonder who is them? my friend."

(Listen to the track and accompanying video here.)

According to E-Shy, Obama is self-righteous and could care less about any but himself, and urges Americans to do their research on the candidate before voting.

"I feel that I am pro-America, irrespective of party," he says. "Just because a candidate is black does not mean he cares about black people, white people or even green people more than he cares about himself. He has no record of credible service and Chicago is a mess as a result of his representation. You should see those people and what he did, and didn't do, for them. Just go to youtube and see .. people are pissed in his district."

E-Shy also claims hip-hop are only supporting the African American candidate because of how trendy its become. "Many in hip-hop were originally supportive of Hillary in the early primaries and now everyone acts like there are original Obama people down for a cause. It's about as false as this guy's inflated campaign and credentials," he states.

E-Shy was recently given the coveted title of Unsigned Hype by The Source in their April 2008 issue. The magazine says that he could possibly be the heir to Eminem's throne. Why? Because "he's dead nice," the mag states.

I agree that alot of ppl are blindly supporting Obama bc of he's black(half). I was one of those ppl until I actually did my research. Do u know he's related to Dick Cheaney? Exactly. Its as easy as going online. All the info is there. Dont get caught up in his rockstar status. Democrats AND republicans are controlled by the few extremely wealthy ppl that REALLY rule this country. Nomatter who u vote for they will put the puppet that they want in office.

I don't know what you've experienced, but I tell white people to do their research on Obama all the time. I try to tell black people that too, but then they just tell me I'm a racist hispanic.

Another thing. Why is that black people are told to do research on Obama but when a person of another race claim they support Obama their reason for isn't questioned. Why do we always need to have a reason why? If Obama was white would people be suggesting us to do reearch then or even care about who we're voting for?!

E-Shy is a lame ass racist white boy who hate to see a black man support another black man. Let me guess E-Shy support McCain. Why? Because he's white right? His argument is weak. Everytime a black person claim they support Obama, white people automatic assume it's because he's black and that's because those same people are racist themselves. E-Shy think Luda is a racist because he's a racist himself. And his pro-black comments struck a nerve. Funny how racist America wanna cry racism. The pot callin' the kettle black. Fuck outta here. This white boy is bitter because Luda support Obama. I'm sure if Luda was against Obama his ass would've been quiet. Disunity among blacks is what people like to see.

"but if it was a black rapper saying no to Obama, I bet people would think twice.." SORRY, they wouldn't think twice. They would label that black rapper an Uncle Tom for not going along with the con/Obamination. Real Talk! NOBODY FOR '08. I think I'll sit this one out...

"and doesn't believe in reparations for the ancestors of slaves in America." LOL, niggas still on this shit? Reparations? That'll be the day. Instead of investing the money into something positive, there will be over a million record labels formed over night! And everybody will be on wax swearing they came up by "flipping bricks"...Ask Rick Ross

After listening to the first five minutes of the track, it all becomes clear. This individual is a propagandist, who tries unsuccessfully to mimic Eminem's phrasing and cadence. I don't see him going anywhere. Do I personally trust Obama? No. He supported corporations that violated the privacy of citizens with FISA, and doesn't believe in reparations for the ancestors of slaves in America. Considering the Japanese received compensation, and even those of Jewish lineage, I fully expect the rescinded order for 40 acres and a mule to be honored. Seemingly Obama wants to dismiss the importance of that, and I hope everyone is paying attention. I'm pretty sure Cynthia Mckinney has my vote. I know this got a little off track but this wannabe really is forgettable despite the publicity stunt.

During every election some new candidate pops up that you've never heard of in attempt to run "Your" country. What have these people been doing the past 20 to 30 years? When you accept the fact that the operation and organization of our government does not adhere to moral beliefs, you may just stop looking for the perfect person, because THERE ARE NO PERFECT PEOPLE!!

You can only research information that is available. Regardless of how much time you spend on CNN and reading the WSJ, you can bet your -ss you are getting only a very small percent of what is really going on. ...and it's a very good chance it has been altered as well.

Just what they are looking for! Says:
Friday - August 8, 2008 at 12:01am

...I haven't listen to the track yet but i did read each and every post below. Step back and look at how (almost) everyone responded to this. Racial slurs, threats and physical violence; it's expected of you. When certain things are presented to the public you can count on a routine response- everytime!!

Yeah Yeah says this dude is racist cuz he doesn't like Obama...wtf? Damn, nobody can have an opinion around here. And Really Real, read some news outside of Baller Status for once in your life, headlines were sayin' "Rapper disses McCain and Clinton". Baller Status turned this into a race issue with their headline. So you do some fuckin' research before you speak, herb.

I ask again, What did he say that was raciest...the only raceist comments ive seen in this whole blog are remarks directed at white people...As for knowing him, nope never heard of him till today..but then again, people outside of NY never heard of 50 till he started the beef raps... And yes there is a huge double standerd when it comes to race' headline " White cop kills black man" In my city a few weeks back, we had a black officer shoot a whiteman..Headline' Officer kills man in stolen car...Hmmm..

Really Real Says:
Thursday - August 7, 2008 at 6:09pm

Philly-O, shut the fuck up. The reason why it didnt say "Black Rapper Disses McCain and Clinton" because the story they put about lUda was about Obama blasting the track, which was the name of it... think before you speak dummy.

Yeah Yeah Says:
Thursday - August 7, 2008 at 5:53pm

Let me add that this rapper is getting famous from talking about Obama and Luda and they both will finish his b*tch ass, Obama will dust of his shoulder again (that was classic) and Luda will tell him to lay of his d*ck or finish in a similar way to the Stomp track yall remember that right, oh jokes, back to the point f*ck this dumb b*tch ass clown, i'm 5"1 and a woman and i know i'll whoop his ass, if he don't like Obama that's his business but his ass is racist and i can't stand that shit, coming out with a song to get fame cos i never knew who his ass was before, did yall?

Philly-O Says:
Thursday - August 7, 2008 at 5:51pm

I do think it's funny that the headline reads "White Rapper Disses Obama Over Ludacris' Recent Support Track".......when Luda released his track, the headlines didn't say "Black Rapper Disses McCain and Clinton", did it? No, they didn't. I just think that's one hell of a double-standard. C'mon, Baller Status, don't take a touchy situation (race) and emphasize it, you're better than that. And just to make sure things are clear, I'm Hispanic.

Those who are claiming racism are retarted...Obama is friends and has accepted funds and done speeches with a terrorist who attacked the pentago and wish he could of done more, hes a communist, and wants you to fill up your tires to drive gas prices down. OPEN UP YOUR FUCKING EYES DONT VOTE FOR THIS CLOWN JUST BECAUSE HES BLACK HES AN IDIOT. Hes not going to be the last black nominee for president, I have no problem with a black person as president, just not this one hes an idiot.

It's crazy how people show their true colors when anything involving race or gender surfaces in commercial media. Perfect example..just read Sean's comment..dude sounds like a modern day natzi. As far as this E-Shy character...he needs to stick to his day job..just another Eminem clone. ~One

Obama cant help who supports him. As long as he isnt directly accepting funds from known terrorist groups. Dont forget that it was us who personly trained bin laden E-Shy. Me, I want change and you only get experience if you get the opportunity. Apply that theory to the rap game. If a rapper has 10 years underground, does that make him a better rapper then someone who just got in the game and got a record deal?

Why can't the man have his own opinion, instead of following the sheep behind Obama? Props to E-Shy for actually lookin' past the fake "rock star" style that Obama tries to put out there, and recognizing the substance of what Obama really is.

All the comments below have nothing to do with commenting on what the dude even has to say! Everything said was an insult on his personality, and nothing to do with his message. Seems obvious to me everyone who decided to leave a comment so far besides Sean and Drezz has no idea about what's going on politics right now. If you don't know, shut up! Go research. If anything his song should have prompted people to go dig deep and really learn about the two candidates. Just because it's a white dude he's automatically hated on, but if it was a black rapper saying no to Obama, I bet people would think twice.. All these people going for Obama becaus they want to see change, want to show diversity, but still can't accept a white rapper? At least the guy is trying to educate himself on the candidates, maybe everyone with the ignorant comments should too.

Oh boy, and if you really are from Harlem expcet to get beat up in the hood. I don't wish that on you, but it doesn't seem like you made a wise decision here. Talk about a black man that many black people are behind while in the hood. Uh oh. Pack up to Arizona buddy

White rapper, i hope you know this means you have to pull an Everlast, choose another genre of music. I just don't see how will you make it as a rapper with this rant. Maybe, you already straight and it's just a hobby. However, don't dream of ever being accepted by the black community as a rapper. I'm just saying what's real.

Utter trash. This fake Eminem needs to sit down. Subject matter aside, his skills are very limited. Dudes from the Sugar Hill Gang could rap circles around this dude. If he wants to vote for Mc Cain aka Bush 3.0, good for him. For the rest of us...Gobama!

Sean Says:
Thursday - August 7, 2008 at 8:01am

Some of the stuff he said on the track was actually stuff people need to listen to. He said something about "chit chatting with iran while they work on thier battle plan." does anyone remember chit chatting with iraq? I can not saying iraq has "anything to do with 9/11" lol but i say kill them all im tired of people trying to be diplomatic with idiots. Maybe John Mccain will just nuke those fuckers and we can go back to backyard BBQ's and gas guzzling vehicles. MCCAIN 08!!! The lesser of two evils.

"Just because a candidate is black does not mean he cares about black people, white people or even green people more than he cares about himself" THIS IS VERY TRUE, HOWEVER WHITE FOLKS TAUGHT US HOW TO BE WHAT WE ARE AND THE BLACK CONTINUED IT. this is so sad but it's coming to a close the above in quotations is true but every one that vote for obama will see when he's in the white house...He ain't all the way black he is mixed and it make a difference depending on your background and how you were raised and he was raised universal which isn't always good.

Iceman Says:
Thursday - August 7, 2008 at 6:24am

Wow. A white guy using music that was invented by blacks to insult a black rapper and a black candidate. And he's claiming racism. If he was going for controversy, I guess he's got it. Too bad he doesn't have any talent to go along with it, regardless of what color he is. And Source Magazine? Honestly, does any body care what they say any more? They lost their credibility a LONG time ago. The heir to Eminem. Now THAT'S funny.
