Yes … and his name is DMX.

Q: Are you following the presidential race?
DMX: Not at all.

Q: You’re not? You know there’s a Black guy running, Barack Obama and then there’s Hillary Clinton.
DMX: His name is Barack?!

Q:Barack Obama, yeah.
DMX: Barack?!

Q:Barack.
DMX: What the fuck is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?

Q:Yeah, his dad is from Kenya.
DMX: Barack Obama?

Q:Yeah.
DMX: 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.

Q: You’re telling me you haven’t heard about him before.
DMX: I ain’t really paying much attention.

Q:I mean, it’s pretty big if a Black …
DMX: 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.

Q: So you’re not following the race. You can’t vote right?
DMX: Nope.

Halfway through this interview it becomes pretty clear that this cartoon lives in his own world. Thank goodness I grew out of gangsta rap a while ago!

    This is hilarious. I am sure that many of the people who listen to DMX are in the same boat. It’s difficult with such stupid comments not to stereotype them.
