How Come No One Told DMX Crack is Wack?


So um, XXL recently interviewed DMX and questioned him about a variety of things concerning his new gospel album, the fact that he doesn't think about music becoming digital, and his thoughts on Barack Obama. Please take a look at what your boy said.

XXL: Are you following the presidential race?
DMX: Not at all.

XXL: You’re not? You know there’s a Black guy running, Barack Obama and then there’s Hillary Clinton.
DMX: His name is Barack?!

XXL: Barack Obama, yeah.
DMX: Barack?!

XXL: Barack.
DMX: What the fuck is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?

XXL: Yeah, his dad is from Kenya.
DMX: Barack Obama?

XXL: Yeah.
DMX: What the fuck?! That ain’t no fuckin’ name, yo. That ain’t that nigga’s name. You can’t be serious. Barack Obama. Get the fuck outta here.

XXL: You’re telling me you haven’t heard about him before.
DMX: I ain’t really paying much attention.

XXL: I mean, it’s pretty big if a Black…
DMX: Wow, Barack! The nigga’s name is Barack. Barack? Nigga named Barack Obama. What the fuck, man?! Is he serious? That ain’t his fuckin’ name. Ima tell this nigga when I see him, “Stop that bullshit. Stop that bullshit” [laughs] “That ain’t your fuckin’ name.” Your momma ain’t name you no damn Barack.

XXL: So you’re not following the race. You can’t vote right?
DMX: Nope.

XXL: Is that why you’re not following it?
DMX: No, because it’s just-it doesn’t matter. They’re gonna do what they’re gonna do. It doesn’t really make a difference. These are the last years.

XXL: But it would be pretty big if we had a first Black president. That would be huge.
DMX: I mean, I guess…. What, they gon’ give a dog a bone? There you go. Ooh, we have a Black president now. They should’ve done that shit a long time ago, we wouldn’t be in the fuckin’ position we in now. With world war coming up right now. They done fucked this shit up then give it to the Black people, “Here you take it. Take my mess.”

XXL: Right, exactly.
DMX: It’s all a fuckin’ setup. It’s all a setup. All fuckin’ bullshit. All bullshit. I don’t give a fuck about none of that.

XXL: We could have a female president also, Hillary Clinton.
DMX: I mean, either way it doesn’t matter. I don’t care. No one person is directly affected by which president, you know, so what does it matter.

XXL: Yeah, but the country is.
DMX: I guess. The president is a puppet anyway. The president don’t make no damn decisions.

XXL: The president…they don’t have that much authority basically?
Nah, never.

XXL: But Bush pretty much…
DMX: You think Bush is making fuckin’ decisions?

XXL: He did, yeah, he fucked up the country.
DMX: He act like he making decisions. He could barely speak! He could barely fuckin’ speak!
Can’t be serious. He ain’t making no damn decisions.

XXL: Well Barack has a good chance of winning so that might be something.
DMX: Good for him, good for him.


DMX is a mess of major proportions. Like, he really is a mess and I hope someone sends him to Promises immediately. More importantly, I understand what he is saying and actually agree with a lot of it. NOT the part about him talking about Barack's name and being completely unaware about what is going on in the country he lives in BUT in regards to the scores of black men who have no voice because they have no vote due to incarceration. So why should they bother to pay attention? I mean clearly DMX is living in a crack world under a rock somewhere because even Peppito on the corner who don't speak no English knows who the fuck Barack is. But I think more than anything, DMX is a representation of black men who don't think that they play any role in this country and they have already been thrown away so why care about who can possibly come and change the system? They have already been discarded so nothing anyone says or does will help them anyway. They will still be convicted felons, still won't be able to get jobs, and will still be looked down upon by those that have the power.


He is also VERY right about the fact that the white man has fucked up this country and now that it is in the shitter sure, we'll give it to the black man and see what he can do. Because I hope we all know that yes, Barack will be President, but he will be blamed for EVERYTHING that was ALREADY fucked up. It is going to take more than two terms for the president to undo everything BUSH destroyed and if Barack can't fix it immediately then it will be all his fault. But I think he knows this and its a good thing he doesn't care. We need him despite all that. And YES BUSH is a fuckin puppet. And he is right that technically BUSH isn't the one responsible for the state we are in. His advisers and everyone around him who are in it for themselves told him what to do and he just did it. And DMX is right....Bush can barely speak! He is fuckin tap dancing and gigglin while he waits for McCain instead of addressing questions pertaining to our economy.

All that to say...while DMX is a hot ass mess and I wish he would put the pipe down. I feel like underneath all that dude is speaking the truth.

LMBAO! Crack is definitely wack.

I CANNOT believe he didn't know who Barack Obama was. They should know that even in the crackhouse. My GOSH! I'm definitely nominating him for Joker of the Week!
