Ti$a is voting Obamaway

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

I saw this clip in my inbox a couple days ago and skipped it thinking it was one of those stan-ish “Vote for Obama or I’ll kidnap your babies” type songs. I was wrong. Ti$a (of Sa-Ra fame) turns the seriousness of will.i.am’s “Yes We Can” on its head, opting for a giddy, fun chant instead. Simply amazing.

Suddenly I feel like rollerskating.

He doesn’t mention Boo Boo by name, but you know Joey probably had his nemesis in mind while shooting this video. He even cherry-picked the guests to include people who’ve had issues with the G-Unit camp: Wayne, Khaled. Funny thing is, he’s better off making an argument based on skills rather than bragging about fake bills. 50 is notorious for calling out MCs that are significantly better on the mic — Sticky Fingaz, Jadakiss, Nas, Joe, etc — but he’s always come out unscathed for reasons other than emceeing.
