Here’s Some Special Lyrics from one of the Obama’s favorites “artists”, Chance The Rapper:
Obama and Chance the Rapper
From his “hit song” “Good Ass Intro”
“Did a ton of drugs and did better than all my Alma mater
Motherf—-r money dance, hundreds zan, gotta lean
Make a joke bout Leno’s hair then piggy back on Fallon’s spleen
Balancing on sporadicity and f—–g pure joy
Nightly searches for a bed and I just came off tour with Troy
But I can’t complain I got some motherf—–g business
How many lab partners have I f—-d since I got suspended?
Mr. Bennett, you done did it, you did it, you did it
You did a good ass job, you did a good ass job
And I’m good

Now I like Betsy DeVos and I understand her chagrin at some of President Trump’s characterizations of certain (deserving) people. In her role as Education Secretary she is correct in calling for “civility” in public discourse, particularly as engaged in by the Leader of the Free World.
However, when one considers all of the ‘uncivil’ discourse hurled at President Trump by some of the most repugnant people in public life (for definition of “repugnant” see “Maxine Waters”) and hailed by people like Mr. Todd, I cannot bring myself to be terribly critical.
It’s very interesting to me, however, that one hears no criticism of the Obamas, for example welcoming, praising, and honoring the likes of Chance the Rapper and Kendrick Lamar, et al as wonderful musical artists.
The lyrics by Chance quoted above are really a relatively modest example of the words and messages by these various “entertainers” going out to the nation’s youth, especially to black youth, already greatly disadvantaged by single mother households, and role models like NBA players who make martyrs of thugs like Michael Brown (“Hands up…”) and brag of their many “baby mommas”.
We have often ranted against the “hip hop culture” but it must be noted that these so-called “artists” who “tell the truths” of their (black) community are never referenced in any discussion of “the culture’ that produces shooters and victims as we see too often in places like Parkland, Florida or Chicago, Illinois.
In our opinion, the “hip hop culture’ sows and nourishes a dangerous victimhood and a resentment among youth, not only black but all other races.
Obama and Kendrick
So, as we see the NRA, ‘toxic masculinity’, ‘white supremacy’, ‘nativists, et al, condemned and vilified for gun violence, discrimination, etc, the Hip Hop “stars” are honored, celebrated, and “sold as role models” to the next generation:
“When I get signed homie I’mma buy a strap
Straight from the CIA, set it on my lap
Take a few M-16s to the hood
Pass ’em all out on the block, what’s good?
I’mma put the Compton swap meet by the White House
Republican, run up, get socked out
Hit the Pres with a Cuban link on my neck
Uneducated but I got a million dollar check, like that…”
Obama and Jay Z
And we would not want to neglect Jay Z as who can forget his timeless Big Pimpin:
You know I – thug em, fuck em, love em, leave em
Cause I don’t fuckin need em
Take em out the hood, keep em lookin good
But I don’t fuckin feed em
First time they fuss I’m breezin
Talkin bout, “What’s the reasons?”
I’m a pimp in every sense of the word, bitch
Better trust than believe em
In the cut where I keep em
til I need a nut, til I need to beat the guts
Then it’s, beep beep and I’m pickin em up
Let em play with the dick in the truck
Many chicks wanna put Jigga fist in cuffs
Divorce him and split his bucks
Just because you got good head, I’ma break bread
so you can be livin it up? Shit I.
parts with nothin, y’all be frontin
Me give my heart to a woman?
Not for nothin, never happen

Betsy DeVos: Trump should stop the swearing; be an example ‘to our kids’
“I would probably use different language myself,” Betsy DeVos said. “I think we all have an opportunity and a responsibility to be examples to our kids. … That would include the president as well.”
