DMX: I’ma need you to put down the weed and pick up a paper

From DMX’s interview with XXLmag.com:

Are you following the presidential race?: Not at all.
You’re not? You know there’s a Black guy running, Barack Obama and then there’s Hillary Clinton.: His name is Barack?!
Barack Obama, yeah.: Barack?!
Barack.: What the fuck is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?
Yeah, his dad is from Kenya.: Barack Obama?
Yeah.: What the fuck?! That ain’t no fuckin’ name, yo. That ain’t that nigga’s name. You can’t be serious. Barack Obama. Get the fuck outta here.
You’re telling me you haven’t heard about him before.: I ain’t really paying much attention.
I mean, it’s pretty big if a Black…: Wow, Barack! The nigga’s name is Barack. Barack? Nigga named Barack Obama. What the fuck, man?! Is he serious? That ain’t his fuckin’ name. Ima tell this nigga when I see him, “Stop that bullshit. Stop that bullshit“ [laughs] “That ain’t your fuckin’ name.” Your momma ain’t name you no damn Barack.

Hilarious. The black nerd revolution couldn't come soon enough. I can't wait for DMX to hit the washed-up-celeb circuit on VH1 in about four years.

OMG. that's funnier than when X said he wanted to be a preacher on Jimmy Kimmel.

You know, crack would seem a more likely culprit for his ignorance. All the weed smokers I know have at least a cursory knowledge of politics... LOL.

He was. But the overwhelming cluelessness displayed is amazing. I mean damn, he would have had to avoid TV, radio, newspapers and people for the last four years. That's almost impressive, actually.
