Nas recently caught up with MTV to chop it up about politics, and to promote his next cd.
“There never been a president to address the slaughter of young black people by this country’s police. When your government’s police are killing one section of people, that’s genocide. There’s never been a president to even acknowledge it. You don’t acknowledge that? That’s a big thing President Obama has to recognize when he gets in office. I’m five presidents in … and I ain’t seen nothing happen to stop the police murders on young, black people,” he added. “Why would I believe in the system? With that being said, I think Barack can cure that disease and help cure the country. Not just in that area with us blacks, but also with all Americans. Women are getting treated like dogs. You know how hard it is for a woman to prove she was raped? The system is warped. They throw young guys — who’s starving — in jail just trying to survive on the streets. Throw them in jail forever. Young kids, 18 years old, executed in Texas. Yet, child predators get to come home and do it again. I think it’s so much our president can do. [Obama] seems like a human being. I say that because a lot of presidents don’t seem like human beings. They seem like straight-up businessmen who care about nothing but the business. Nah, you gotta care about the people.”

First of all, where the hell has Nas been? If you think any president has cared about the people, you have been asleep all of your life. The pay as a president sucks, so why do people get into this business? For power. To say that they got to be the president of the United States. I am all for a change in America, but to be honest, I have yet to hear Obama discuss the issues that affect the American people. Those shit-asses we call the media have been so busy distracting everyone with Rev. Wright's views on Black treatment in America, no one is asking what his views are on American issues. To be honest, I haven''t heard Barack say anything about black issues. I understand you have to play a position because you don't want to offend white folks who you want to vote for you. There has to be someone who will stand up and fight for American rights, and I don't think it will or should be a polititian. if we waited around for polititians to do everything, nothing would get done.
