“John McCain‘s cool, but he looks like a fraud to me,” said Young Jeezy recently. So, it’s no mystery as to who he will vote for in the presidential elections. The trapper recently spoke out about his political views and his meeting with John McCain.
“Barack, he has a lot of things going for him. He’s ahead of his time. Given the right chance, he’ll make some type of change. We’ll feel it. I really feel that,” he told MTV.
This year, Jeezy appeared on Saturday Night Live on the same evening that John McCain hosted the program. So, when they met one another, some questions were asked
“I told him the ‘hood was fucked up, and he was like, ‘How you doing?’” he says of their encounter. “Real talk. They know entertainers, so they shake your hand [and say], ‘I’m your friend.’ But my mama is about to have surgery that I gotta pay for out of my pocket because she can’t get insurance. I don’t really feel McCain. It ain’t just because Barack is black; he can make change. Just like Bush equals recession, Barack equals progression. I really feel that, all bullshit aside. He’s gotta come in and keep it right.“

So, what does Barack Obama do for him?
“I be in the ‘hood every day, and I motivate the thugs. [Barack] motivates me. To see somebody taking that extra mile … like, ‘Okay, I can make some change.’ That’s how I felt when I got in the rap game. I felt I could make change. I did.“
Jeezy‘s Prime Minister [click to listen] mixtape is out now and his new album, The Recession will be out later this year. Reports indicate it will be out in August.
