Talk about rain on your parade!!! Geesh!!! It seems that our newest Chi-Town hip hopper Lupe Fiasco wasn't pleased with Barack Obamas speech on Tuesday night. You can now classify this dude as a party pooper, killjoy, buzzkill, spoilsport, I could go on and on!!! Why would he even come out of his face with something like this to begin with is beyond me!
While most of the world is still sky high off Barack Obama's historic election, leave it to Lupe to ruin the moment with a needless statement. In an interview with Big Tigger on D.C. radio station 95.5, the killjoy rapper said he wasn't impressed with Obama's acceptance speech."I'll be honest and I'll probably catch flack for this, the acceptance speech from Barack Obama last night it didn't move me at all." [Listen Here]
President-elect Obama's words were powerful enough to move Jay-Z, and a whole host of other rappers, but not enough for Mr. Cool. Instead the Chi-town rapper was extra touched by the tears of another political elder.
"What moved me was when they showed Jesse Jackson. Jesse Jackson was bawling. He was crying to the point, the feelings and emotions that came out of that was those was the tears of Martin Luther King, Jr., Those were the tears of Malcolm X. He was the representative out there who went through the struggle."
Granted, Baracks speech wasn't the best we've heard from him... but... did we really need to big grandios of a speech when the moment itself spoke more than words could ever have said by anyone? And yes, Jesse was crying because yes he was a part of the wheels that set this exact moment in motion back in the 60's and to see his, Martin's, Malcolms, and many others' hard work finally come to fruition was a bit overwhelming to him! There was no need for a memorable earth-shattering speech, the moment was unforgettable enough. But don't' worry Mr. Cool, he'll have four years to make it up to you. Hopefully, by then you'll have made an album that "moves" us to believe you're not just a slightly over hyped rapper from Chicago.
