*Is Obama losing support from his younger Hip Hop generation?
Rapper Shyne is not on the Obama bandwagon and he’s making that very clear. Instead, he’s supporting the Republican candidate, Mitt Romney.
Shyne was deported in 2009 following his release from prison where he served nine years for the 1999 Club New York shooting.
The rapper is so much against the current president because he’s holding a grudge. He says the two of them share a mutual friend, Harvard Law professor Charles J. Ogletree. And he says Obama is well aware of his situation.
“He knows who I am, he knows what’s happenin’,” the rapper said of Obama. “He’s always talkin’ about he listens to hip-hop and his daughter listens to hip-hop. He knows who Shyne is, he knows I’m deported.”
So it looks like he’s expecting a personal favor from the president.
He also feels that he’s the key to calming the violence in Chicago, so he needs to be back in the U.S. to save the inner city. With or without his old friend’s help, Shyne professes that he will be returning to the states in due time.
“I should be in America in a couple of months. We working to try and get this visa,” he said. “Obama is playing games, he frontin’, he better do the right thing.”
Unlike many who make a religious conversion in prison, Shyne is now a devout Jew. Shyne believes that because of his faith and influence that his “voice is too powerful.”

I don’t understand. Why does he think Obama should over turn his deportation? Is he saying he was innocent? Does he think Romney is going something different? And actually he supporting neither candidate since he can’t vote.
I agree with you Butter. ughh You’re not a citizen, you’re a convicted felon that is NOT a citizen, you’re not even Christian. Sir uplift the people in you’re country. I dont buy that SHITE at all, he wants to get to America to make some $ like every other refugee. So sick of that, BTW anyone privey to foreigners claiming to be insane to get checks off the dime of american tax payers. HUMMM.
Now I don’t feel so bad that he went to prison for Puffy/Diddy. I believe in everybody has their perrogative to vote for whoever, but the hell he think Romney gon do for him. You a nigga! The GOP side don’t care about no nigga. I hope he stays where he is and never gets to come back to the states.
Ditto. Fcuking stay deported!
LOL I know that’s f!ckin right! OMG what a buffoon, actually asking for a handout. You did the crime and got deported. Why would any elected official want to put at the front of an initiative for inspiring kids and you’re asking for a handout and don’t even BELONG here?! I was expecting to hear some intelligence and hard-fought wisdom and was thinking he was keeping it real with the Rozay beef, but he’s just keeping it dumb and dumber. Please don’t set foot again on American soil, dumbass. I’m pretty sure if you keep at it with the ignorant sound bites, the Jews will have their own brand of excommunication for your silly self.
He was deported because he’s stoopid! He was here illegally and then got caught up in a shooting. Piddly promised to support him and his family while he did Piddly’s time – Piddly lied and this sucker actually believed him. Obama knows who he is because they have a mutual friend? Vote for romney boo boo, it will further prove why your ass was ousted from the States. Oh, and besides that where you live isn’t an American Territory is it? So you can’t vote here anyway, and no one cares who you back!
“Vote for romney boo boo, it will further prove why your ass was ousted from the States.”
I agree. That mofo wants back in the US in the worst way. Well, be happy where you are.
Why is he talking like he got something ON Obama?? Talking about “he knows who I am”. SO the EFF WHAT??!! Shyne better go somewhere and have SEVERAL! If anything, he needs to be mad at Puff! That’s the one who sailed him up the river! STUP-MO!
What BAFFLES me after all of these years is comments like this.
“Now I don’t feel so bad that he went to prison for Puffy/Diddy”
He went to prison for Puff? Word? Shyne SHOT a bitch in the face. Puff Daddy did not. LMFAO!
I feel you Shyne. Obama was the one talking how people who came here when they were kids shouldn’t be deported. But I don’t see how you want to vote for Mitt either, ’cause he ain’t even down with that. He wants to deport even the babes and suckling. Remember also that back when Obama was kissing Republicans ass, he was deporting more people than even the Republicans. Come on Shyne, you of all people got to know that shyt is all about getting the brown vote. He wasn’t even thinking about someone who looked like you, then.
I don’t see how your argument applies. Shyne was not deported due to his immigration status. He was deported following release on his conviction.
It does apply, at least on a humanitarian basis. The argument used by Obama for not deporting those Hispanics is that they find themselves in a situation which they had nothing to do with. They were brought here by their parents as juveniles and it would be unfair to deport them to a place where they know nothing of, with no friends or family and may not even be able to speak the language. Fortunately for Shyne, this was not that drastic. But he was brought here as a kid and as a result of being convicted and not being a citizen, he was deported. So he did have a legitimate argument. Look at Slick Rick. His argument for staying was only that he had put down roots here.
The law was not always this cruel. I know that non-citizen convicts were always subject to deportation, but there was some humanity applied when considering these cases. It all changed some years ago when the Republicans took full control and made some drastic changes. For example, if you were not a citizen and just had a misdemeanor, they would not let you back in if you made the mistake of leaving the country. And just like in so many other cases, when the Dems took back control, they wouldn’t role back these draconian laws. So yeah, Obama needs to be given some credit. But too bad he only did it to get votes, and not because it was the humane thing to do. If he had any humanity, he wouldn’t be deporting all those folks previously just to impress the right.
This illegal niggah actually thought he would get out & then just…”skip his happy azz back to the studio”!?? What a fkn dumb azz! And duuuuude…you haaaaad “some” cred?, but you just fkd THAT up with yo “choice of support”! I swear boway….they must’ve beat the “reason” out yo azz, in thurr, so FK if yo still can….”rhyme”, it’s a….RAP fuh yo traitor azz. The End. Chuuuuuuch!
