Diddy Has Some Choice Words For President Obama


I was a huge Bad Boy fan back in the day.
B.I.G ,Craig Mack, Mase, Faith Evans, 112, Total.
What y'all know about Total?
Can't you see......what you do to me.......our love was meant to be......you were meant for me.....
That was the JAM! 
Unfortunately many of those artists are no longer with Bad Boy because "somebody" doesn't like paying their artists.....or should I say, taking care of their people. So I was kind of thrown off when I read an article over at the Huffington Post about Puff Daddy, P Diddy, Sean Combs.......WHATEVER he's calling himself nowadays criticizing the President for not having done enough for Black people.
  "He owes us. I'd rather have a black president who was man enough to say he was doing something for black people one term than someone who played the politics game have two terms."
"It's something he might not get (re)elected for" is what he was quoted as saying.
You know, Puff has a point. People should help those who paved the way for them. They should expect those people to make sure they're taken care of......have jobs, financial security and come to their aid when they're down.
But while Sean Combs was criticizing the President for turning his back on his supporters or not doing enough to help them, I wonder if he has thought about helping someone who paved the way for him?
As I write this blog, DJ Kool Herc, one of the pioneers of rap music,one of the people who made it possible for Puff Daddy to have the format to criticize the President, is in a New York hospital, sick, without insurance and unable to pay his medical bills. If Puff wants people to take his criticism of the President seriously, maybe he should go pay DJ Kool Herc a visit, tell the doctor he's taking care of the bill and write DJ Kool Herc a check that will allow him to get the proper medication he needs to get healthy again. It's not like he doesn't have the money.
