Contrary to the support President Barack Obama has received from artists such as Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, and Common, not every emcee voted Democrat in 2012.
In an interview with Huff Post Live, Big Boi recalled an instant when someone assumed that he voted for Obama.
“Well, I was, you know, leaving to go out of town, and it was a lady — a Caucasian lady — and she was like, ‘Oh yeah, congratulations on y’all win last night,’ you know, with like an attitude,” remembered Sir Lucious Left Foot. “And, you know, just to let her know I was on my P’s and Q’s, I was like, ‘I don’t know what you talkin’ bout, I voted for Gary Johnson.’ And she looked shocked to even know that I knew there were other candidates on the ballot, you know what I’m saying? So, you can’t judge a book by its cover.”
Daddy Fat Sax explained his political stance. “I’m a Libertarian. I’m liberty, justice for all, liberty for all. I’m really pro-people, pro-freedom, and, you know, this is all about positivity. Like, you know, I have nothing against the president at all, you know, he’s a nice guy, but, it’s just, you know, the things that they’re standing on right now just didn’t agree with me. Anything that benefits the public and not just big banking, that’s what I’m with.”
Watch the interview below:
Big Boi right on the money with that one. I hope the libertarian movement continues to grow over the next decade.
Big Boi Reveals He Took A Shit This Morning.
ROFL!!!
Good for you Big Boi! We have way too many sheep out here that blindly listen to mainstream media and their preferred candidates not knowing or even caring that they are being lied to. Obama is basically GW Bush part 2, but still better than Romney would have been.
Hell yeah Big Boi. I vote Green Party every year. Time to let the people know that there’s more than two ways to do things.
its still a 2 party dictatorship until more there are more than 2 presidential candidates of different parties not just dems and republicans i will never consider america a true democracy
Thanks for not blindly voting for a horrible president like others (Killer Mike.)
Nice, gained a lot of respect for you BigBoi!
Asshole, I’ve got no respect for Brothers who don’t support our people.
well you weren’t supporting his choice so does that mean you have no respect for yourself?
Fuck has obama done for you or any black person? That dude doesnt even address black people.
You’re bullshittin, man. He does support his people for voting for the one he thinks the USA need.
Sincere receives welfare from Obama and loves him for it.
That fake ass nigga Barrack Saddam Hussien Osama bin Ladin, dont even call himself black. The nigga think he white. Fuck him.
I have no respect for racists who vote for Obama because he’s black. Respect to Big Boi.
Health insurance. Raising taxes on ppl that make more then 250000 keepin a lil more change in your wallet. Cuz he dnt walk around sagging and throwin gang signs hes not black? Yal dumb.
Least he didn’t vote republican
I’m curious who Kendrick voted for.
Why? I bet you’re also curious about the smell of his doo doo. You kids need to enjoy the music and stop worshiping these cats.
cosign 2nd Anon. to the first cock tease, THIS IS A BIG BOI article, who cares if KDOT voted for his black cock, who fucking cares, does it really matter?
He doesnt vote.
Yeah good job Big Boi for not voting for that clown Obama. That nigga Obama aint even American the nigga is from Kenya. How do a Kenya nigga become leader of America. America hasn’t had a good leader since the nigga Clinton. Fuck Obama, that nigga as bad as the Tea Party. Fuck Obama, Fuck Bush, Fuck The Tea Party, Fuck The Republicans, Fuck Romney and Fuck Nas. If you disagree with me you must be a tranny nigga.
Who you wanted to become a leader of America? an english? or maybe an Irish? or better yet a german? All the fuckin real “americans” are the indians.
Get a life kid
@Hip Hop please… Get your mouth off your dad’s dick, fuckin tranny. Dont call me a kid.
@Thermo… Who the fuck are you to talk shit bout my comment. you a dumb nigga. I will fuck you up. It’s their ancestors that are Irish, German or English, not them nigga. Get it right. That’s like saying everyone is African since life started in Africa. You dumb fuck. Tranny ass nigga.
You talk like a monkey, boy. Stay ignorant for us.
thank goodness he didn’t vote for mitt
Yeah, if he voted for catchers Mitt, he would’ve got his ghetto pass revoked.
I’m all for independent thought. If you want to support alternatives to our two party atrocity support them in a way that actually matters. Organize at the grassroots level instead of voting at the presidential level where it accomplishes absolutely nothing other than giving you a soap box.
at least he didn’t vote for romney but who the fuck is gary johnson? that’s the only vote gary received
Lol, this guy was calling for an end to increasing deficits, debt increases, foreign wars undeclared by congress, the war on drugs, the war on terror, & draconian measures (ie. Patriot Act) while standing against the federal reserve, military-industrial-complex, and lobbyists. Congrats on being a root of the problem.
Should have told her to mind her business. Politics, money, religion should remain off-limits. “Who are they to be equal to?”
He should have voted for Ja Rule.
Ja Rule can make change happen.
Ja Rule is making a change: he’s wearing a wig and high heels right now.
“You kids need to enjoy the music and stop worshiping these cats”
You must be old and angry cause that was clearly sarcasm.
And you must be young and stupid.
Your political beliefs make me respect you even more
3rd party? dumb niggaz…. there is only 2 parties. and who da fuck is Big Boi? diz 40 years old fag cant be a souther rapper. old ass nigga cant rap shit. smh. swag
there is way more than two parties.. those are just the two “correct” parties, or so we are led to believe.. any reuplican or democrat running for national office, is more than likely a crooked, shiesty individual…
WOOOOW! Someone needs to pick up a book, seriously? For the simple fact that their are people out there who are as ignorant as “icy boi” and are voting…scares the shit out of me. Please tell me you’ve heard of an “independent party” (or at least the name of the country you live in).
THIS GUY SHOULD BE A CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENT. HE ALREADY GOT MY VOTE, ONLY ONE WHO CAN BEAT HIM IS LUPE FIASCO.
Lupe is a pseudo-intellectual idiot.
JA RULE 4 president. Too bad he is too real to be free right now, I’m sure he will blow off all these clowns in the next elections.
Gary Johnson is Spongebob’s snail
alright big boi is defintly in GOAT after saying this. he’s not a sheep he does his own thing. obama is an image not a president. if hilary wouldve won it would be the same. pupepts dont trust as far as you can throw them
Wow this Geek praise the dude because of Big Boi’s politcal thoughts. Calls Big Boi(not Andre 3000 but Big Boi) the Goat. Fuck does that have to do with being the Goat geek nigga.
Thank you Big Boi!
Why am I not surprised fickle hip hip fans don’t know about a guy that wanted to balance the budget, audit the fed, end the war on drugs, require wars to be declared by congress, end the war on terror, repeal draconian government measures, end the police state (ie. TSA), value integrity over political party, etc. Some of y’all dumb asses are the reason we have a 16+ trillion debt, bubbles, more enemies than ever before, debt ceiling that keeps increasing, a blatantly obvious connection between lobbyists and government (ie. Obama having Mosontano & Goldman & Sachs individuals in his administration).
Gary Johnson wasn’t going to save the world.
andy shut up man damn self righteous know it all
why yall mad because andy spoke his mind?? that its the truth doesnt matter right?? hes just a know it all.. and gary johnson wouldnt have saved the world, but it would be a HELL of a lot better than obama has it right now…
^^^^whatever andy
The people have been hoodwinked for so long, since white picket fences and 30 year mortgages, that no one administration could clean this mess up in 4-8 years. That’s the reality of the situation.
SMH NIGGA AINT VOTE FOR OBAMA I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER ALBUM OF HIS EVER AGAIN
And then this Geek hates Big Boi and won’t buy a big boi album because he didn’t vote for Obama. Wow i swear its some weird emotional ass geeks behind these computers. You nerds can’t be this life less.
And I suppose that its only us dumb asses, that have contributed to the state of this country while you sat back and just watched? Get the fuck outta here.
And hasn’t every president made promises that can’t be kept? That’s how you get elected. Our country has struggled after every war we’ve had and this is no different. America will be fine. Fuckin doomsayers I swear
Wow this dude actually made more sense then any of you geeks. I see comments from geeks acting as if this Gary Coleman or Gary Johnson guy was voted they act like he would have done all the shit he said.
I see the conspiracy geeks saying all the presidents are puppets this Gary Coleman dude would change shit. If every president was puppets in the past what makes you nerds think this Gary Coleman wouldn’t have been a puppet too. DO you geeks think before yall post.
This shit was aimed at Andy below me
Fuck it, nevermind.
What an intelligent concept not voting for a black president just because he’s black! Gary Johnson was going to make huge cuts and it would have been difficult, but it is what’s needed. Meanwhile Obama is driving the economy downhill with no regard for the national debt. Romney meanwhile is completely incompetent and is strongly against gay marriage and weed legalization so it would be difficult for him to win plus he wouldn’t have gotten rid of all the debt like Johson. Big Boi is intelligent.
“Big Boi is intelligent”
Not on ESPN First Take he wasn’t, but that’s another story. Regardless of what Obama is doing, or what Romney would have done, these rappers slay with me their stances. So Big Boi somehow knows more than the millions of people who sincerely voted for Obama? Alot of them don’t have his money or fame, so I hold their vote in slightly higher regard than Big Boi’s simply because rappers love taking stands againsn’t anything or anyone that has authority. Like if to say were not stupid just cause we rap. I respect Big Boi having an opinion, but he knew Gary Johnson had no shot, so why come out and denounce Obama simply because he’s not running things the way you think he should.
because obama is killing this great country and he wants you to know he wasnt a part to him getting elected
” So Big Boi somehow knows more than the millions of people who sincerely voted for Obama?” Implying that just because someone can vote that means they automatically know what they are doing. LOL
he’s allowed to vote for whoever he wants to, regardless of who has a greater chance of winning. it’s a democracy you idiot
I like Johnson’s position on drugs, Patriot Act, foreign policy, etc, as much as anyone, but you need to take a split-second look at how austerity cuts are affecting Europe to see how bad his economic plan would kill the US economy
the way our banking system is set up right now needs a complete make over..
Very excellent point! Finally, someone with an at least basic, logical understanding of politics on here
Obviously in short term thinking the cuts would have a negative affect on the economy but thinking long term it will be good for the economy to not have the debt looming. You can’t just keep owing more and more and expect everything to be fine.
Like it or not, Obama is the greatest president we ever had.
greatest president?? you out your fuckin mind… george washington?? thomas jefferson?? abraham lincoln?? the list goes on and on.. obama campaigned on change and he is the same ol crook as the rest of em.. just got some people confused because of his skin color..
HAHAHAHAHA…..hahahahhahahahaha….ur dumb as fuck
Greatest president for the NDAA(this criminalizes anyone the government deems a terrorist or threat so you go to jail without trial by jury which is your fucking right in the bill of rights), SOPA, PIPA, banning of the 2nd amendment fuck out of here you ignorant bitch. You fucking sheep get my blood boiling because I care about your damn freedom and you’re so brainwashed it’s insane. FUCK
^^^ “Banning of the 2nd Amendment” What the hell are you talking about?? Obama hasn’t passed any new legislation on guns or gun control. If anything he’s made it easier to purchase guns AND he’s helped boost gun sales becase morons like you think he’s coming after them. Dumbass. Do your research. Turn off Fox. Quit drinking the kool aid. Actually read legitimate sources of news. Public broadcasting.
Yawn. Your illiterate half-wit self clearly ignored all the other issues I stated. Koolaid? Lol sorry but you’ve clearly mistaken me for one of your kind. No not black, but a fucking sheep. Fox news? Yea no. Try natural news dot com and infowars. Dianne Fienstein is trying to pass her proposal which is the attempt to steadily ban all forms of fire arms with the start of AR’s. The shooting of schools and movie theaters were orchestrated by the government to gather the sympathy of dumb mother fuckers like you and your family so you accept their propaganda and don’t protest, which will result in a civil war. Coming at me telling me to stop watching fox so you come across as intelligent. I am a journalist myself. Fuck outta here with that bullshit and go lower your IQ with some fluoride while cleaning your nasty mouth.
You nerds are entertainment. Back to this blow football game.
Almost as entertaining as stupid people.
Im glad you know how entertaining you are anonymous
Blacks just can’t stick together
youre dumb and deserve the failure im sure you are experiencing
You’re a chickenshit retard. It was a joke U dumb cunt.
Just because he’s Black doesn’t mean he needs to agree with the popular choice…
Word up!!! do ya homework. I wanted either Herman Cain or Thomas Sowell.
herman cain? go to sleep pal
Bill Clinton was the best rock star/president we’ve ever had.
Any rich black rapper would be a fool to vote for Obama, because he taxes rich people. That’s like poor white person voting Republican.
Yoooo i always thought that too. but its cause they come from the hood and rap about all that gangster and struggle shit. gangster rappers main audience are real street niggas like me so them voting for what Romney and Republicans believe in could be career suicide.
so only poor people should vote for him? Last I checked he had the most amount of money raised by multiple donors (not a few rich men like Sharon, Koch brothers etc) and they were surely not mostly black. Rich white people. Because its more than taxation. Go find a better site to read from. Big boi has a stance, but Gary Johnson though?? I would have been on a shit ticket, and he would have voted for me then.
??? because he taxes rich people? Everybody gets taxed, its not necessarily a bad thing, There is a thing called Tax Returns. Don’t feel like the tax thing is fair? Work under the table then.(aka Cash Paying Jobs-Note that drug dealing usually leads to jail time or end of life.)
Lol. Not everyone gets tax returns buddy. If you make a decent amount you don’t get a return, or if you do, it’s nothing compared to what you paid in. Successful people in the top tax brackets who own their own business will pay over 50% in taxes on every penny they earn considering all taxes.
Work under the table then.(aka Cash Paying Jobs-Note that drug dealing usually leads to jail time or end of life.)
+++++++++++
LOL @ THIS FCUKBOI
MANY CONSTRUCTION & RESTAURANT JOBS R UNDER THE TABLE HO
PEOPLE GETTING MONEY IN STATES THAT HAVE LOTTERY MACHINES IS UNDER THE TABLE UNTAXED MONEY UNTIL IT’S A CERTAIN AMOUNT
STFU HO
I guess the stereotypes go both ways. Glad to see a Big Boi stand up for his beliefs.
Thats whats up, smart dude. Thats was actually the best candidate to be honest, to bad the media like to glorify only two though.
Alot of our people don`t realize that white racism is more dangerous today cause its more covert and more sophisticated.The worst type of racism is the one you can`t see cause you let your guard down and are easily manipulated.We really need our own major media sources to expose these sneaky demons tactics and conspiracies against us.
I voted for Obama. And so what? Do people who didn’t want a cookie?
So who gives a fuck snitch? go 2 tha muthafuckin white hse.shit iz this website becoming a political one????fuck politics.
Who cares who he voted for. Motherfuckers also think Tim Tebow is a great QB.
In Response to Anonymous, I Learned in My Econ Class, That Successful Owners a lot of times pay themselves $100,000-$200,000 to avoid the Top Brackets so they are always getting back something good for possible investments,stocks,and/or personal use.
I gave my vote for vermine suprime, youtube if u dont know him.. sad that he didnt won
There is nothiong wrong because you didn’t vote for Obama, but IMHO there are a lot of things wrong if you vote for someone like Gary Johnson
I like B.Boi he alwayz fresh.
hohohoho dat ignorant muthafuckin chick thought every negro agrees with the president?
and how is this news we are living in a brainwashed society
so because he is black and did not vote for a black president it honestly became news worthy? … So that means if fuckin Bubba Sparxxx didnt vote for Mitt Romney that shit will be in the headlines?
What you took too many Molly that’s why you didn’t vote Fuck out of here ..
Big boi voted for this cracker because he know my dicks name is Gary Johnson. I’m the real big boi
see this is someone people can fuck with. isnt ignorant knows shit and is smart.. more people need to be like him fer real..coughcough
ZZZZZZzzzzz….. If your life sucks, it ain’t Obama’s fault.
the reason this is news is because we live in a right now information society, for every bit of information with merit comes 100X more of the B.S.
I respect it.
“Implying that just because someone can vote that means they automatically know what they are doing. LOL”
Alot of people spent time listening and studying up on Obama before the re-election. If someone honestly believed he could do even half of what he said he would then yes I would say they know more than some cornball rapper who is just trying to make headlines by going againsn’t the grain.
Exactly. But Big Boi is a great rapper.
People knew nothing about Romney and they voted for him. What’s your point?
“People knew nothing about Romney”
They knew enough not to make him president.
