Lick A Shot
…for Obama… ?
Jay Z has released a "song" in support of Obama. To be honest, it is hardly a proper song and I really don't know how much hand Hov had in producing it.
The "lick a shot for Obama" line is repeated over a beat and then the 'business, man' explains kinda why he supports Obama. Kinda.
His speech focuses on how politics never trickled down to the ghetto. Jay attributes this to politicians not caring about the ghetto. He attributes that to the ghetto not caring about (and voting for) politicians. His solution is that the ghetto should vote and should vote for "Hope" (trademark).
Hov seems to forget one major factor. One reason so much of the ghetto doesn't vote is because they can't! Convicted felons don't have the right to vote! With the ever increasing criminalization of things that affect poor people, it is no wonder.
Jay Z's rap persona of a street hustler must have gotten lost while Sean Carter, CEO, was being swept up in "Hope."
