50 Cent challenges Obama to rap battle
In a bizarre press release, rapper Curtis Jackson (better known by his stage name, 50 Cent) has challenged Democratic 
Presidential candidate Barack Obama to a rap battle. For the many who are confused: a rap battle is a formal competition between two parties through use of rap insults.
Many have likened Mr. Jackson’s deceleration to the one he issued rival rapper Kanye West in September. 50 refutes: “This ain’t about sales and sh*t, this is real”. When asked why he would attack what could be the first black President he noted: “This n*gga supposed to be representing the black community right?! This motherf*cker is barely black! I seen his sh*t–no arrest record, writes books and no illegitimate children–how black is he?”.
The Obama camp has not commented on how they will handle this. If Barack shies away, he could alienate many of the urban and youth voters he is counting on. On the other hand, if he loses to 50 Cent, he may never live it down.
Although 50 Cent is well known in his industry, several high key rap artists have already begun their counter-attacks; Rapper The Game stated he will release a new mixtape that revolves around Jackson and Clinton have a love affair, while mogul Jay-Z offered to feature in Obama’s battle provided he endorses his No Homo Jeans.
Lemon Snickers once made the mistake of getting into a country battle.
