Whack. First.
um wow.
i just like the fact that chris b. is in it but the song is kinda…..not working
I like this its funny Vote Obama!!!!!!!!
lol its wack but i like it at the same time
I like it. Its catchy and fun.
lame loserish lack of talent!
HA HA HA HA!!!!!! Obama ’08.
i didn’t see j or kanye in the video but that was prob cause i was skipping it cause it was getting boring
@ MZ INFLUENTIAL, it’s not about talent, it’s the message that’s reaching out. His doing it with the bit of fun and sarcasm that’s all… Cheer up!!…”.We hood, we votin and throwin it up… I’ma vote Obama way!!!”
LOVE the cameos! this is what is helping this video because the Song is ummm lets just say Special!!
It’s a shame that they have to connect BEING HOOD to VOTING just to get some people to vote. As previously stated–wack! Put some verses in it! I mean dayum
I agree with # 3, lol. I see you C. Breezy
Nice video, wack song! the hook or chorus gets hella annoying after awhile…I’ll stick to the “Yes We Can” vid.
Definately has nothing on Yes We Can!. The song is pretty lame but as long as its getting the message out there that Obama is the way to go then I am down!
when u keep listening to this song it become catchy. p.s. i threw mine up.
love it! so catchyy!
“we hood we voting and throwing it up”
lol
wow..like chris :]
I know he meant well, but wait until Fox News gets a hold to this one! They are going to have a whole hour of this. I can hear it now……
I like it b/c it’s catchy and fun, yet brings a diverse crowd of supporters together
I love Taz Arnold but this shit is so lame and annoying.
I didn’t watch the full video (a little too annoying for my taste, especially the association of being ‘hood’ with voting for Obama)–but I did see the Kanye “cameo”. They actually ripped the part with Kanye from another vid and made it look like he was with the rapper lmao. Same with Jay I believe. Looked good though.
Looks fun. Very bright. For some reason this cat reminds me Shock G from digital underground.
im disgusted.
why does there have to be video girls, bling, and dancing to promote an African American candidate?
I feel like we have come to the point in which we believe this is the only way to appeal to our demographic.
If I was Obama, i wouldnt be flattered.
…thats just me.
YOU CAN NOT BE FUCKIN SERIOUS!!!
THIS IS LIKE THE WORST SHYT I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY MUTHAFUCKIN LIFE.
BECAUSE OF THIS SONG HILARY MIGHT JUST GET MY VOTE!
LMFAOO LET ME STOP, LOVE U OBAMA
gay
Lame.
What’s the connection between being “hood” and voting for Obama? This video isn’t even necessary. Almost as bad as the “Vote or Die” campaign back in 2004.
OBAMA 08!
lmao funny…& not in a ” he`s a comedian” funny it’s more of a ” this is so retarted I can do nothing but laugh” kind of funny…. even though I felt like my intellegence was being insulted for a second but I’m sure I`ll walk out my house tommorow and catch some kid singing it ( sighs )
Ummmm…, that video is an insult to all humanity!
ummmmm….
Horrible!…annoying…whack…smh…uugghh…
haha..”we hooooooooooood and throwin it uuuuuuuuuuuuup”
that line got annoying very fast
i liked all the colors in this video, but the song that will.i.am did earlier this year was way better than this
How ignorant. Does this dude seriously think this will make the population vote for Obama? Sure, this was created with one demographic in mind, but this is a turn-off
! Only hood people who vote and throw up the Roc sign will be voting for Obama? Are those the only people who can vote for Obama? This entire presidential race is turning into a complete joke.
CRAZY!!! =D
Are those the HaruJuku Girls lol
LA STAND UP…..PLEASE.
@ 29. LMAO–me too
haha its so funny how everyone is soo involved in this years election.
obama for pres!
I love it! It gets the message across and thats what matters – i found myself singing it for a while afterwards as it stays in your brain. At least it will remind people to vote… especially the young.
@ Cherishme…
It was on “O” for Obama, not the Roc sign that he was “throwing up”
i like it, i see chris B… he looks fineee. being silly as always… hehe:D
We voting and Throwing it Up,Throwing It up,Throwing it up lolll. Its Catchy… i Like
Agrees with 20,its catchy and does attract other supporters.. Its a good marketing ploy.lol not going to doubt if its going to work,but its easy going. it is what it is.
ITS JUST FUN…DAEDELUS AND TAZ ARE FAR,FAR,FAR MORE TALENTED THAN ANYONE EVER FEATURED ON THE LOOP…
BEFORE YOU BASH THESE “NON-TALENTED” GUYS…YOU SHOULD AT LEAST OPEN UR 1 DIMENSIONAL MINDS UP…AND LISTEN TO THEIR MUSIC…
That was dreadful, is that the dude from the Gym class heroes? the whole thing was a mess.
If this is meant to promote Obama it may have the opposite effect
OH SHUT UP, THE LOT OF YOU.
You’re acting like this is the only musical support Sen. Obama has. KMT. It’s fun and catchy and doesn’t define him as a candidate, just the diversity of his electorate.
Interesting go Obama
LMFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAO BILL O’REILLY IS GONNA MURDER THIS VIDEO WOW!
ANYHOO I LIKED THE CLASH OF THE 70S, 80S, 90S, AND TODAY (lol I sound like a radio station)..oh did anybody see the real Obama in there cuz I didn’t?? I don’t know if this helped the campaign or hurt it and the celebs is just sayin hi Chris is the only one really tryna be in the video lmaooooo..
Kanye would do some mess like this- WE HOOOD, WE VOTIN, AND THROWIN IT UP lol I thought it was the gym class dude
WE HOOD, WE VO-ING LOL!!!!!!! Cute, retarded, catchy, yea I see myself singing this ish all day….Dang it!!!
I was waiting for a verse lol
Obama 08
this has to be the most ignorant thing I have ever seen…i wonder if he even knows why hes voting for obama?? just cause hes black?? thats why white folks think the way they do…..a damn shame for this garbage, he could have been classy..but i gusse…damn when will we larn???
I LOVE IT!!
**** WHAT UR MAMA SAY
IMA VOTE OBAMA WAY!!!

wacktacular
Um…..not sure what to make of it. I love it. But it’s corny as sh*t. I’m sure it won’t catch on like the will.i.am vids, but I can’t get it outta my head. It’s so wrong, it’s gotta be right…
Love me some SA-RA, tho. Their collabos with Eryhah are dope….
MAKE SURE YOU GET OUT AND VOTE WHEN YOUR STATE COMES, OBAMA HAS NOT WON YET, AND THE MEDIA MAKING YOU THINK THAT HE HAS IS ONLY A DISTRACTION, AND A WAY TO GET OBAMA VOTERS TO STAY HOME.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET OUT TO THE VOTES AND VOTE NO MATTER WHAT, THIS RACE IS NOT OVER UNTIL AFTER JUNE 6TH.
THAT IS AFTER ALL THE FOLLOWING STATES HAVE VOTED:
- WEST VIRGINIA
- KENTUCKY
- OREGON
- PUERTO RICO
- MONTANA
- SOUTH DAKOTA
SO IF YOU HAVE NOT VOTED YET PLEASE DON’T MISS YOUR CHANCE TO SUPPORT OBAMA, GET OUT AND VOTE, NO MATTER WHAT!! THE RACE IS NOT OVER YET!!!
Why?
Hmm..I’m not to sure about that video…its seem kinda weird, kinda counter productive with all the scantily clad (in the political realm of course) woman in the video…but…I appreciate all of your postings J. Dakar…read my blog! (Yes I’m shamelessly promoting it!) on BET.com!
