Can Barack Make It Rain?
In the wake of Clinton blatantly lying about Bosnia and James Carville comparing Richardson to Judas, we’ve forgotten some past Clinton campaign silliness, namely her suggestion that Obama would be a good vice-presidential candidate with her. This was all despite the fact that Obama is leading in popular votes and pledged delegates AND despite Clinton suggesting that Obama wasn’t quite qualified to be commander in chief.
So what is the proper response to such silliness? Finding a good analogy in rap songs! So, my own first suggestion is that Obama being Hillary’s Veep pick would be like “Make It Rain.” When I first heard the chorus, I was really juiced for yet another great Lil Wayne track – and not any Lil Wayne track, but one featuring the best catchphrase of 2007. And then it turned out that Fat Joe had all the verses. I guess other examples would be Dilated Peoples and Kanye West in “This Way” or Dr. Dre and Eminem in “Forgot About Dre“(though in all fairness to Dre, his production is about half of what makes that song tight, Eminem’s contribution is the other half. It’s just that Dre isn’t a very good rapper)
