A lot has been made about certain hip hop celebrities feeling like they belong as it relates to the first family.  While Oprah makes herself right at home along side her First Friends, folks like Jay-Z and most recently Diddy have alluded to the fact that their endorsements in some way were responsible for Obama’s historic victory.

“I think we are probably responsible for Obama being in office, yes. If nobody else is gonna say it, then I’m gonna say it,” Diddy recently told Playboy magazine. “The confidence, the swagger we instilled in our communities made that possible.

Convinced of his political importance Diddy admitted he would like to be adopted by the President to reside in the White House under the title of  First Son.

“I met him (Obama) twice… If God said I could pick one person to be my father, I’d want to be Sean Combs Obama. That’s how dope he is. I hope he reads this interview and adopts me…”

“I wouldn’t even need to be in the will. I got my own money.”

Lets get one thing straight here folks, Hip Hop didn’t win shit for Obama.  If anything, Obama and his intelligent team USED hip hop as a soap box to motivate its young base.  Realizing that Hip Hop transcends race gave them an excellent opportunity to reach an age group that historically hadn’t voted and by using the election as a social vehicle just as much as a political one we followed the lead.  So no, Hip Hop didn’t win anything.  Without Hip Hop, Obama still wins.

Secondly, Didn’t Diddy just turn what 40 years old?  That would make his Daddy eight if he were to adopt him and over 30 years older than his siblings.  I know he was joking but that’s silly.  People still have not come up for air.  Obama is a politician not the messiah.  The sooner we start treating him as such, perhaps the sooner he’ll feel pressured to actually get something done.
