PART 2 OF DOES OBAMA KNOW?

I SEE A LOT OF YALL DIDN’T REALLY LOOK DEEP INTO WHAT I WAS ASKING. SO LETS BREAK IT DOWN. DO YOU THINK BEFORE THE SUMMER COMES ITS GONNA BE WORK BACK ON THE STREETS AND THE TRAPS WILL BE BACK SAYING AY AY!!!!!(said like the juiceman). I READ WHERE SOME OF YOU WERE LIKE JD TRYING TO ACT LIKE HE KNOWS WHATS GOIN ON IN THE STREETS. THIS IS NO ACT AND I’M SURE WE ALL HAVE A FEW FRIENDS THAT DO THERE THANG IN THE STREETS AT LEAST I DO AND ALWAYS HAVE. SO WITH THAT BEING SAID I HAVE NEVER SEEN SHIT THIS BAD. I WAS ABOUT 13 WHEN I STARTED PAYING ATTENTION TO HOW THE WORLD MOVES AT LEAST WHAT I THOUGHT. BACK THEN I WOULD HEAR SOMETHING STUPID LIKE THE FBI JUS SEIZED A SHIP WITH 600 KILOS OF COCAINE AND 1 MILLION DOLLARS IN CASH STREET VALUE OF THE COKE A BILLION AND SOMETHING. THESE TYPE OF BUST CONTINUED TO HAPPEN AND I NEVER HEARD THE CITY SAYING WE’RE IN DEBT THE WAY I DO NOW. THIS MONTH THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WILL GO BANKRUPT HOW CRAZY DOES THAT SOUND DAMN!!! I ALWAYS BELIEVED THEM BOYS IN THE WHITE HOUSE WERE INTO ALL THE BUSINESS IN THE WORLD AND I STILL DO. I BELIEVE IN ORDER FOR OUR CITIES TO NOT GO COMPLETELY OUTTA CONTROL THAT DOOR HAS TO BE REOPEN.
DO YOU THINK OBAMA IS PAYIN ATTENTION TO THAT ??????

  1. WELL YEAH IM IN CALIFORNIA NOW AND I STILL HAVENT FOUND A JOB, I MEAN IM IN SD AND MEXICO IS RIGHT THEIR SO I MEAN THE DRUG GAME IS CRAZY OUT HERE. IT SEEM LIKE THATS THE ONLY THING TO DO CUZ ITS NOT LIKE THE OLD DAYS WHERE YOU CAN GO QUIT YA JOB, PRINT YA RESUME AND GO LOOK FOR A NEW ONE. YOU EITHER HAVE TO ALREADY BE WORKING OR KNOW SOMEBODY. SO WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOU A YOUNG MAN TRYING TO DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE?

  2. Ok Jd, I think he is aware but I don’t think he knows how the it will matriculate. Only niggas from the hood or have some dealings there no. I mean without incriminating myself niggas get it in and my brother has a saying ” when niggas pockets get slim they get shady.” So its not just niggas in the streets who get money are targets, regular everyday nobody’s will be to because its some monsters out here who don’t give a fuck. My mindset is and always will be this I don’t care if I eat but my kids will by any means. So Mr. Obama or anyone listening take heed if shyt not better by the time it gets hot its going to be a race for the murder capital believe that/

  3. SHIVER ME MOTHERFUCCKEN TIMBERS HA

  4. I believe is in tune with what’s going on only to a certain extent. He knows what people are telling him. Now that he’s in the White House he isn’t going to be in the streets talking to average Joes’ like me like he use to when he was campaigning. As far as that coke business with the seizures of ships….thats all a cover up if you ask me. Look at how many times the FBI or Border Patrol made a bust like what you described and then they so-called never found out who it came from or who it was going to. This bullshit!! That coke they seized at the ports came over here for FBI and the government anyway. It’s like they were doing their own PR and killing 2 birds with one stone. 1. They make the “people” feel better by making it seem as though they are really working hard to get the drugs off the streets, and 2. They seize the drugs and push it out on the streets themselves and make big paper off of that same dope. They seize all this coke and where do these people think it goes…in some FBI basement?…YEA Right!! The sell that right back to the streets and these stupid people think that their government and law enforcement are really trying to make things better when they are part of the problem.

    Just like u said JD, you never heard about no city being in debt back then because they was making millions and billions of $ from that coke that they took from the docks. the drug game today is not what it was before so these crackas can’t make that fast easy money like they use to and that’s why California is going bankrupt. This world that we live in is not all that we think it is.

    JD…make sure you watch this documentary titled “Wake Up Call” when you get a chance. If you can’t find it, holla at me and i’ll send it to you. That’s a must see documentary homey…EYE OPENING!!!!!

    -Dat What It Is

  5. By the way….this economic crisis that we are in was caused on purpose too. If you want to know why or how…..watch the movie that i said to watch b4.

  6. JD IS RIGHT: PEOPLE ARE DESPERATE…

    Jamie Foxx had an unwelcome visitor in his hotel in Philadelphia, TMZ reports.
    According to the report, a man forced himself into the Oscar-winner’s room at the AKA Hotel and Foxx had to “physically struggle” to get the guy out.
    The unidentified perpetrator convinced the actor he was Beyonce’s producer to gain entry into his room. Police say he then fled the scene when they arrived.
    However, Foxx’s security team saw him 9 days later outside the hotel, and had him arrested for burglary, criminal threats, stalking, false imprisonment and harassment.

  7. As far as the hood is concerned Obama will not know the magnitude of what is going on because he is not there.He may only see as far as what the crime index points out but thats it.What about the unknown statistics of the people who are just trying to hold on to what they got who are not on the evening news?

    From the outside looking in the view of the economy could be thought provoking and hold some entertainment value to others as something to talk about at dinner or by the water cooler at work but for those suffering its as real as it gets.

    The streets have always been the way they are but now everyone wants to pay attention because it some how may affect them now that crime is wide spread but what about they guy who is no threat to you but is still suffering? Does anyone pay attention to him?
    This system is set up to reward the criminal as it is now a days so people need to look deep and do a reevaluation of self.

    JD you are a black man so I know no matter how far you may roam away into a higher lifestyle you still have a better view of street life and the struggle of the hood seeing thats who looks up to you at the end of the day but with money and power comes responsibility and as long as you keep talking about these issues that you see on a wide perspective then people will listen.

    I don’t condone whats going on in the streets but it is what it is for a reason.The have nots have went to long without nothing while that haves are living it up draining the poor of all they have left and it is just history repeating itself. Before America was a country there were poor people revolting against society and this just an updated version.

    What we need is community leaders outside of government to step and devise some plans to make the hood into neighborhoods.Black Americans have a spending power of over 9 billion in this country and we only make up 13 percent of the population. If we did like other races and kept our money in our own communities we would thrive.Someone should help school black folks on debt so we can leave this new age slavery alone and get over this Stockholm syndrome and stop pledging allegiance to the moral decay of this Babylon type system we live in and rewrite the rules so every race in this country could live in prosperity and not in fear.Its the fear of this system that has taken over our hearts and pushed the financial stride right out of out minds and dreams. If anyone wants to see change then….become a leader and don’t wait for someone else to fix your problem.

  8. you kno wat..its not about wat i think…its about wat i hope. i hope he see’s how bad its gettin…in Connecticut i alway thought everybody in my state was middle clas like me…i found out in like 7th or 8th grade that we were the richest state…i never saw that money…n now adays i DAMN sure ain’t seeing dat money…teachers r gettin laid off, they took the 5 million dollars that was supposed to clean up my neighborhood and as much as i don’t give a fuck/hate my highschool their cutting the funding for that too…it may not be a big deal to me cuz i’m happily graduatin n gettin the fuck outta there but i have a 15 year old sister and a 6 year old brother….shyt gon get taken away from them b4 they even get it…just 2dai there was ANOTHER drive by…shyt keeps inching its way closer to my house…it was SO F’N CLOSE…like some houses down…shyt is gettin TOO fuckin real 4 my black ass…i ain’t dyin over no wannabe nigga lookin 4 respect…this recession just brought all those closet problems out n i really hope dat Obama can see that…i really do…

  9. Honestly JD I think the street are going to be to crowded by summer due to unemployment and foreclosures folks aint going to have room to do some low sh*T.

  10. What everyone has to remember is that cities collect a significant portion of revenues from property taxes. NOW, in cities and states with high foreclosure rates, they’re not seeing a red cent. That’s first. Second, alot of cities and states had money invested in capital markets and because they weren’t watching, their investments went BELLY UP.

    Let’s not forget the credit crisis. If banks ain’t lending that means that short term loan that the boss uses to pay you until he sees his money from outstanding accounts are out of the question. That means your not only NOT getting paid, he’s not hiring until he can make sure he can PAY YOU.

    Who does this shit really affect the most? The hood, mainly because of the type of jobs that people hold down like construction or stuff like that.

    Our president knows all of this and thats why he went for the Stimulus. If you live in a state where the governor is talking about not taking the money, START PROTESTING AND RAISING HELL. If you’re state got it, go to your states recovery website and see where the money is going. APPLY FOR THOSE JOBS.

    MOST IMPORTANTLY, STRESS TO THE HOOD THAT THIS SHIT IS GOING TO PASS. i ALREADY KNOW ITS GOING TO BE A HOT SUMMER IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE BUT WE DONT NEED PEOPLE DYING SENSELESSLY.

  11. As far as the police seizing drugs in these bust thats all a fraud.The government gets rich off of these drugs. Look at the CIA and the contra war scandal.Also look at the ties of some of these big corporations and private companies that build prisons and make millions off of it. Conspiracy is the Achilles heel of America.
    All the government is are humans like you and me who set up king type rules to reign over society and treat everyone under them like peasants.

  12. Ok JD, since you mention Cali as an example, did you notice that a former San Francisco supervisor turned assemblyman is trying to get marijuana legalized. That means one form of urban pharmacy is knocked out of the box. I don’t think money will come quick and easy for any of us anymore, including the urban pharmacist. I still say, Obama is aware. He is now in D.C., of all places where the struggles of the street are crystal clear.

    I also believe that true hustlers will always due well, because they adapt to their situations.

  13. Well out on here in cali they shoulda never let the terminator be gov what the fuck did he ever show us he was political and credible enough tho hold the position, now we really fucked up. but d boys are having it hard cause of the border wars in tj and sinaloa so until that shit stops the trap wont be saying shit for a while.

  14. I think he’s aware and so is everybody in the white house but the streets always come last in politics.

  15. I definately feel you on what your saying. I hope my answer to your first ? was helpful. BUT. I definately feel what your saying. I personally think things will get fixed just not all at one time. I mean we all can’t sit back and expect this man to do it all by himself. Obviously. I got my check today from my boss and he was telling me it doesn’t include the stimulous that we’re suppose to get this month, because I’m suppose to get 8 or 9 dollars added on to what I already make. But one of my co-workers was like yeah that’s gonna last only for a year to get us ready to pay for this debt that Obama is creating. And I got pissed off cuz it’s like people are still blaming Obama for things fucked up. I mean it’s crazy. I know I went off topic a little but as I said before somebody told me things are gonna get worse before they get better. And that’s everywhere. No matter who’s in office.

  16. Oh and just like Bow Wow fan said Obama is aware and so is everyone in the white house. They know what’s going on.

  17. Yeah its gonna be one hot summer! Everybody is in a recession ..including the streets…I dont know why and i’m not around it so much as when i lived in the hood but it seems like even the hustlers aint hustling as much.. The drug dealers arent getting that fast money as much as they used to..WHY? thats a big question..The govt does benefit from the game cuz when the money is seized where is it going? U always hear about how much was seized but not where it goes from there…Why dont we hear about as many busts as we used to? Is it because the war on drugs is being won..OR is there another reason. Its sad tho because everyone in one way or another is gonna be touched by this recession…the streets are definitely not gonna be safe. Is president Obama aware?? to some degree i think he is..but at this point its a trickle down effect and like someone above said the streets are last..

  18. What is Obama going to do for others. Ummmm What can the White House do for the hood.
    Question is does the White House give a fuck about the hood ,remember Katrina,how they just
    Sat there as if the people were cursed and couldn’t be touched,helped,maybe they want the hood to
    Kill each other ,or maybe they have so many problems fuck the hood everyone rich middle lower is hungry they’ll all have to
    Weather the storm. Maybe, why after all is this country facing such hard times,we all can nammmme
    Probelms and there addresses but who’s smart enough to tell me why and how this cycle
    Of economic downfall began. Umm?

    What if the problem doesn’t lie with the government as far as the street doctors are concerned maaybe
    It lies with the people who are running the streets,maybe they feel insulted for some odd reason.
    Maybe they feel taken advantage of. Maybe they think the streets forgot who they were actually dealing with and how
    Far a simple jesture of respect or vise versa goes. Maybe a few of you should learn some ettiqutte lessons
    Maybe. Maybe you forgot how much you really were needed maybe. Maybe he’s got enough money
    And your lack of respect and loyalty is not only irratating but annoying so annoying that maybe
    He doesn’t give a fuck if your hungry because after all who did you really give a Fuck about maybe

  19. Maybe his everyday life is ran with the simple dilimma of threats and violence so your ohh were
    Angry isn’t quiite saying much
    Maybe during your lack of loyalty life for him was the same. Maybe he feels that you owe him and her an
    Apology from your spirit maybe he feels that your rebutal just shows him

    What a wise desicion it was to stop all production maybe. Maybe he protected you and when you were
    Asked to do the smallest thing your head swole up and you forgot who’s HOUSE you were in

    Maybe your crys of war is what he was looking for all along maybe friends maybe after two weeks
    You just look like money grubbing low lives who are no diffrent then the supposedly opposite side

    Maybe. And your constant disrespect via internet tv ect. Is just the same things you’ve been doing
    Which maybe again I say they are not only use to but prepared for and all that jazzazz.
    Maybe respect and humbleness is needed if anything could be exspeted.
    The funny thing is you were so wrong on Your High Horse and today again

    Even in your comments are still wrong Even the Government has a motto we don’t move apon threts
    Or violence not apon your way any how. Maybe you should remember the meanings of such names
    Oya and more importantly Chan GO MAYBE

    I don’t know much about much but maybe I’m right

    The Phoenix my friends call me The Phoenix

  20. reagan let the dope flow in through california….and the hood prospered from it!!!!! i missed the whole bmf thing here in atlanta but i heard it was something to experience in the clubs….

  21. Off topic: JD, JUS, BOW or whoever uses Twitter, needs to get on the Twitterberry, so that way you could just send updates from your phone instead of hoping on the computer all of the time!

  22. I believe Obama knows he needs to go the extra mile for the hood, but in the same breath I’m not sure if he knows exactly what that is… i.e. JD being JD you are a very successful black man yet your ties to the urban community are very strong. Friends, family, etc. still lie in the hood so you are aware of what’s going on and never miss a beat. But if you don’t have that constant reminder of how grimey the hood is, how bad times are at this moment and time, it’s easy to over look. I know Obama knows something needs to be done.. but, I highly doubt that he knows just how bad things are.

    Sex, drugs, and music used to be the way to make money! lol Everyone wanted to be involved in one of the 3 with the thoughts of having constant cash. Thats no longer the case. Money and music don’t easily go hand and hand. Drugs aren’t easy cash and dudes aren’t giving up money for pussy to quick. lol

    You can look at Atlanta alone… how things were back when Buckhead was the night spot. And look at things now… it’s a definite change. No one wants to scale down! Eventhough it’s required to maintain, but most people were never taught how to live within their means anyway.

  23. Oh yeah with all the property tax and car tax that GA rakes up every year doesn’t in make you wonder why the city of Atl is going through all these furloughs????

  24. I honestly dont know….because u have to think that, that part of the economy is the part they are tryin to get rid of. So i think he knows, i just think he doesnt care….like i dont think he cares enough to give the “Street Pharmacy” a bailout…na mean…i think he needs to realize that “that part” of the economy is very important like it or not….

  25. Just like any political process it takes time. However, as time progresses people across our nation and around the world are suffering due to the economy. We as people of society can’t just depend on Obama’s policy to pass, and think everything is gonna be OK. That’s just not happening. Plenty of people who were considered high income or middle class have feel into debt, and people of the urban streets are seriously feeling the effects of today’s economy. People are having difficulty paying off mortgages, credit cards, and medical bills … which causes a negative ripple effect in people’s lives. Making it hard to recover or even survive. Obama has a team of experts that are working on this situation but I am also concerned of the time frame. The way congress has been passing bills it looks like it may be awhile.

    Bow Wow that pole in my basement song is Hot. That’s gonna be a club banger for sure

  26. JD its bad its real bad …serious…first i wanna say some of your audience may not be of age or mature enough to fully get what you are saying. Now to comment do I think that he knows yes … he from the same place i am Chicago. In Hyde Park which is not real tough but at the same time its not the place to be turn down the wrong street with out todays money crises. I think Obama is been mislead on purpose buy his staff. Dont believe it …i was convience when he said dont pay attention to the markets… i was like WTF …i work in corp America…and im luckly and blessed to still be “ON”…I was on for Obama but ..something is not right i can feel it ….and before long my people in hood damn that..my people all over is just gonna continue to suffer …from the hood to middle class area..so many are taking the fall…. and its for the bigger picture..my point is wtf is the bigger picture…..it most def is not right…for non of us… FACT

  27. I live in Chicago and what people don’t know is this city is going crazy right now. The mayor just put into effect 2 tickets and you get a boot on your car, the parking meters are now $3.00 per hour in the downtown area. The toll road is now $2.00 per toll. Everything in trhe Chi is going up but our incomes. The sad part is we have a tax on bottle water and we also have the highest gas taxes in the nation. So some people don’t really know how bad it is out here. The Presidents daughters before he got elected went ot a school that cost a lot of money and is an elite school for the priviledges in between a poor and a rich neighborhood. I live down the street for their Chicago home and all the streets are blocked off and the police presence is high and the visitors who don’t know the streets are making u-turns in the middle of busy street in order to get a glimpse of ther house that cost several million dollars.

  28. This was building up for almost 2 years (probably longer than that) how do you expect him to turn this around in 3 months?

  29. Babyface last cd has this song called Going Out Of Buisness I Lov It Its o tru

  30. I think it’s going to take time and it may or may not happen while Obama is in office. I don’t want to believe that it will get worse before it gets better. I don’t know about the streets but from my prospective it’s so hard. It’s depressing living check to check, making just enuff to get by. When you have just enuff to pay bills, your mind starts to wonder “maybe I should start hustling” not to buy clothes or shoes but to buy food and gas. With that said I have hope but I don’t think anyone should put all their hope and trust in the government. I don’t understand the bailout, to me its rich welfare; its poor folks bailing out rich folks and my ass wanna see receipts. That’s bullshit.

  31. I feel the President is a realist. He is aware of the effect the ecnomy is having all all of us. It tok years of mismanagement & greed for us to get in this situation, and it will take a while to get out of it. This is not a quick fix. I am glad he is holding corporate executives accountable for their actions. AIG isn’t the only company using tax payer funds to pay out bonuses. Their are companies that are ripping off 401k funds, and paying out huge bonuses. I wish eveyone that had AIG insurance would switch to another policy in protest to show them,you have be held accountable for your actions.

    Unfortunately when Amercia is in a recession, the hood is in a depression. The blocks will be extra hot this summer & crime will move towards the Suburbs. We already saw the smash and grab bandits & plasma bandits in ATL. The garage where I work has had several breakins in the past few months & the crimes are happening in the day time. People are getting desperate & bold. What do you do when your unemployment has run out & you cant find a job, hell there are homeless shelters closing down due to lack of funding. We speak of foreclosures and savng peoples homes, but what about the renters, who can’t afford to pay rent anymore. Times a hard & will get harder.

  32. JD, hello, I have a suggestion, build a few homeless shelters, develop a center for higher learning, open a center that will focus on after-school activities and programs, donate your time as a “Big Brother” to some young man in need of guidance, empathy, and structure, stop buying useless crap you don’t need or deserve, stop frontin, stop spending your time making useless youtube videos, and do something that really matters…are you part of the problem, or part of the solution. Stop complaining and start doing…..just something for you to think about and consider….

  33. and…you are not from the “streets” , or the “hood”, why are you so afraid to be who you really are…stop the bullshit…why do you feel it necessary to “dumb” yourself down at every opportunity?? Please advise..

  34. I am pretty sure Obama is aware of the pending civil unrest…that is headed for American. Marshall law will be enforce once more people start to lose there job by the summer.

    Let me just say we need to create business to create jobs…so some yall need to go get that business plan together!!!! Apply for some microloans…for real

    People are already desperate with increase of Utility bill and Gasoline people are going to be more the upset by July.

    I would advise that we HAS A COMMUNITY pray together and take care of each other if you see your neighbor (starving offer them a place) ….homey can’t afford gas gather up them pennies and offer him a $1.00 or something Do want you can..

    Don’t just stand there and bitch about what wrong …but give a brother or sister a hand if u see they are in great need.

    For all the lifers….don’t waste your money spend it wisely…and help your community and your neighbor.

  35. uh Shay i think he was just stating…his concern about are country…you don’t know EVERY waking thing about JD to flip out some random statment like you got JD figure out…LOL

    WOW….never assume what anyone has done….but only assume that they will come to your community or your aid when your in need….

    Postitive Mind get Postitive Results…..

  36. Honestly, Nope! i think hes got to many other things on his mind that he needs to fix. I’m sure he will tho and when he does im sure he will do what he can. but as for right now i just dont see him payin any attention to the streets.

  37. speaking of drugs….check out the article on http://www.globalgrind.com about the guy who is 114 years old and was caught with 6.5 tons of weed.

  38. Well check it out. I see a couple of big name mags folding. King Magazine is going under. So jd Hun, Everybody is hurting. I mean too this is a sign of change. Change for the better? Don’t know. Change for the worse? Don’t know that either. But I do know when you post your quotes it’s helping somebody out here to make a change. So I say don’t stop posting your daily quotes but just don’t stop there. Do something bigger too.

  39. GOVERNMENT is GOVERNMENT! The government has been out of touch with the hood since the beginning. Just because the ethnic of the president changed; doesn’t mean the outlook on the hood will. President Obama is the president first; his oath is to a corrupt government not to “us”. United States of America was build on greed, corruption, and thievery, just to name a few. The change we seek will take decades. But that’s only if we can rebuild the government! How? I mean we where all raised in this land, and somewhere down the line we all where injected with corruption. Have you ever asked, who’s land was this to sell in the first place? The government controls every economic wave in the United States history. All governments have a stake in the drug trade. It’s business just like the dealings with the banks. But it will get better, because the government needs drug trade and vice verca. There’s too much money at risk to dry the drug trade up. So the government will dry up all legit work and cause outstanding numbers of unemployment. Now you have some options: Drug Dealer? Junkie? Which will then boost the drug trade and our economy! Fucked up?! Confused?! In order to rebuild you have to destroy. Therefore destruction is necessary! Just remember our (da people) suffering is their (government) success and our (da people) success is their (government) suffering!

  40. @ashbe:
    i just mentioned that info on the 1st obama post.
    cats don’t realize how it’s a chain of command and it’s our elected officials who are keeping the states they represent from getting the help they need. these are the one’s dragging their feet and finding an issue with each and every dollar of every bill that needs to be approved yet they aren’t offering suggestions on what will work for their constituents who are in desperate need.
    it’s amazing how no one gave gwb a hard time when it came to a bill he wanted to sign (patriot act 1, 2 and 3, right of conscience act and plenty of other bills i’m sure they never read) but when it’s something to help everyone in every state, it’s suddenly a battle to the death.

  41. You do make a great point. In all my years in Detroit (whichh has been in its own recession since 99) I have never seen the dope man struggle, but now they are struggling too.
    No, I dont believe that Obama knows the hardship this puts on inner cities or the violence and chaos this can cause.
    Here in Detroit with the Big 3 (Ford, GM, and Chrysler) going under more detroiters are losing jobs and benefits and we have since seen an increase in theft. From the stealing of copper wires in telephone poles (which cause some dumb fucks to shock themselves) to car jackings — and only taking the battery, wtf.

    I would appreciate it if the commenters would get off your back a lil. Honestly, what can you really do? Your blog does more by getting jackasses to read and realize this “trickle down” method Obama is using to push our economic reforming. By the time the streets start filling relief we wil have lost good men and women because they were out getting theres by any means neccessary.

    It used to be that I was to broke to be effected by the economy… now trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents mean trading the coins for monopoly money.

  42. I agree with Sean Psalms….Im here in Cali….East Long Beach to be exact! and the worst thing that could of happened to us was this peace of shit Governor we have! Shit out here is crazy. unemployment is above 10%…..I have a huge family I’m one of 10 kids and I’m #7…without incriminating my father lets just say, as daddies lil girl I was always taught that a real man will make a way. He always held down a 9-5 but shit with 10 kids he did what he had to for more $$…Never did hard time….always the greatest father.. Now he was recently laid off! Cali about to be bankrupt!! Shit is tough out here. Im on the Eastside and I see the shit everyday. My answer is…..yes!!! I believe he understands how bad its about to get..yall give em a lil credit…he is a harvard grad, the man knows more than we think he does but corporate shit works differently that the shit at ground zero, and if it took 8 years to mess shit up, then its def gonna take longer than 3 months to fix it. The thing that kills me is I dont see th government finding ways for people to make and spend $, the thing is if nobody is spending $ then nobody is making it. They can bailout all these auto makers all they want but if consumers arent buying cars because they cant afford it then theyre gonna gon down regardless. If consumers cant afford to buy clothes and shoes then retailers will continue to suffer. Peoples credit is EFFED up man, they cant buy no new cars….the government shouldve spent all them hundreds of billions of dollars they gave those banks and auto makers and paid off the debts of taxpayers!! Give people a fresh start with their credit, imagine if majority of the people with jacked up credit recieved good credit again. MF’s is gonna do one of two things…1 learn theyre lesson from before and use it wisely or 2 eff it up again…but the end result will be …..people will be spending $$. The banks wouldve gotten money, people would b shoppin and spending $ so more jobs would be available and people would b buyin cars bcuz theyre credit is st8….I dont know how hes gonna fix this mess but I voted for him so I’m ride with him until he does…..shit is so bad right now…I had a customer in my store last week, & he was trying to buy like 3 grand worth of clothes….I told him his total and he hands me his black card…………shit declined!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im thinkin to myself wowwww…Im thankful I was raised in church…he hasnt failed me yet, and soon as I save a lil more $ im out the EASTSIDE ASAP and forever

  43. JD I feel you on this, I think thing are going to get worst before they get better.

  44. Listen Obama said it woud rain b4 the sun will shine…Do we all remember that shit??? U see u catz thought he was playin in shit when he said that. Well naw niggaz he was not.

  45. typing fucking up but im in a rush so sorry 4 the misspellings but yall get the point!!! No more charging 4 bottle service and in a recession we still charge alot at the doors but then again how r clubs gonna make their profit????

  46. JD. If you are reading, YES Obama is in tuned to whats going on in america. That goes for urban america and the suburbs. One thing you have to understand is that Obama is not GOD. What do you think Obama can do instantly that can change hood problems and situations? The hood didn’t get this bad overnight and of course it will not change overnight. Change happens over time and it’s going to take people like you that have access to resources to pitch in and offer opportunities to make a difference. Everybody has to do their part and work out their own problems. I can tell you this though, excuses wil not get us no where, but personal responsibility for our issues can put a jolt on change!

  47. You guys hit some great points but I have always said “If you are going to tell me a problem suggest a solution to go with it” I really believe that Obama knows what’s going on and is working on it. Obama has said from day one that it is going to take all of us to do our part; so what are we doing? I agree with one of the post about leadership. People really don’t know what I true leader is. They think just because a person has money or is on TV that they are leaders. A PERFECT EXAMPLE… Here in GA Obama is trying to send down Stimulus money, our dumb ass Governor doesn’t even want to take it. Let me get this right; all of these people are out of work and unemployment is at an all time high, but you don’t want to take the money? That is because YOUR people are not hurting.

    With all of these Celebrities in Atlanta, no one is using that Celebrity power to start a movement against fools like this who don’t have our best interest in mind. If you are in Atlanta listen to Atlanta’s REAL #1 station, 750 AM. I listen to it going and coming from work. Neil Bortz and Sean Hanity broadcast on that station. They go hard on Obama everyday. Once again, this is the #1 in Atlanta, they OWN the Beat here in Atlnata. Who is going hard in our community to get people together for a cause. Black people are a show me people, we got to see shit before we believe it, and that is what holds us back. If I have a good idea, a lot of times people will not even listen to me if I am not already successful. Most of you guys are musicians, take your song to your local radio station, that damn PD is going to follow you out to your car or or at lease look out the window to see what you are driving. Pull up in a civic and you ain’t getting no radio play, it don’t matter how the record sounds, unless you broke bread, but that’s a whole different subject. The point is, that is why in our community celebrities are so important because they are who the people will listen to and move behind.

    One lifer said that record sells are down because of the economy ok, well if my sales are down and I am going to be depended on a certain group of people having money, then I am going to do everything in my power to help them make money so they will start purchasing my product again. But what are some of the celebrities doing? They are going to the club wearing Pink Alligator jackets but wondering why them LA niggas stuck their ass up.. Dumb mother#$%$s.

    MY Solution: We ALL need to get out in our community and start helping others, not wait for them to ask for help but ask them do they need help.

    MY MUSIC SUGGESTION FOR THIS BLOG….SAM COOKE….A CHANGE IS GOING TO COME

    JD..WE NEED A NEW CHUCK D…..

  48. If I understand your statement correctly, you are saying that when drug trafficking was a huge problem in certain cities, money never seem to be the issue, but now that the government is getting a handle on the issue, these cities are now loosing money and getting into debt. And the question was does the gov’t pay attention to what “really” goes on in the streets? To come to think about it, i believe they do, but to a certain extinct. I am not sure if you all are familiar with the terms Under report or Over report. These reports refer to statements conducted by our city authorities on crimes, violences, and illegal activities such as drug dealing. The gov’t will only get involve depending on those reports. And keep in mind that there are some crimes that aren’t reported by our police departments too, because city officials don’t want their city or town to have a bad reputation. So what I am saying is that if there’s a huge drug problem as far as the production and the distribution aspects of the narcotics, then i think the gov’t will play dumb on the issue and “pretend’ as though they are concern. But when crimes such as murder are a result of this illegal activity, then our gov’t becomes really intune because it is affecting innocent people of that community.

  49. I can’t believe what i am reading you guys are seriously saying that things will get better in the hood and in the whole world if OBAMA turns a blind eye to the importation of drugs? This is the root of the whole problem. three generations of our people have nullified by this drug culture promoted by music and other outlets. We had problems long before this economic meltdown , somehow education fell by the wayside and we can’t seem to realize this has been the main reason we are where we are today. Case in point not one person mentioned anything about education. The educated black person looks at the hood with disgust and would rather not talk about it. They feel that if i can do it, so can they. The only people who can help the hood is the hood, who among you is willing to put your life on the line to try to reach them. I recently lost my son to this phenonomon i feel compelled to try to do something because I know it is another way to live life because do to my job I was able to see the world and it has changed the way I view it . You just can’t think in terms of just the U.S: this economic crissis is the number one topic in the world everywhere guy’s . The one thing that’s not going on is senseless violence , how do you justify this by almost saying that the grestest thing to happen to black people since MLK AND MALIK SHABAAZ should be complicit in a drug deal. Wow I feel sorry for him he’s trying his best, first he has to gain respect of the world because 8 yrs of Bush has diminished our stature on the global scene people are starting to warm up again, but they also feel that he is moving to slow. Let’s be honest now how can he fix a system that wasn’t designed for him to suceed as a blackman but he did it anyway. How , he took the low road,. education !! We have to make this one of the things we stress to our kids . EDUCATION!!! not everyone can be a superstar , even then you still need EDUCATION!!

  50. Obama has bigger problems to worry about than what is happening in the ghetto. The ghetto has been in recession, it’s nothing new to them. He just needs to focus on the economy as a whole, and fix the major problem. There are people in smaller departments and state governments to worry about all of that.

  51. All I wanna say is that I hope you are wrong & you & your life will inspire our people in a new way & leave the street mentality behind.

  52. @seanny did you like the pictures I posted You Dick

    Now don’t you owe me an Apology You Bitch http://WWW.MYSPACE.COM/THE321PRINCESS

    Mr.President what do you plan on doing for the drug trade, “ummm throwing them in jail”

    Ha what’s Obama going to do for the drug dealers ha What pray telll is the real question you

    Want to ask? Umm

    Maybe your question was address to someone who’s name isn’t Obama but is because that’s the weirdest
    Question I have ever heard.

    I’m sure the 25 cent pay raise hell hand out won’t do a fuccking thing for a dude trying to buy a vowel I mean

    A key umm wow maybe but maybe I’m wrong because after all WHAT THE FUCK DO I KNOW.

  53. Oh, if that’s what you’re asking, you pretty much summed it up in your 1st post. I think Obama understands economics on all fronts, including hood economics. Do I think that work in the streets is on his or the government’s top list of priorites? No. I think he is focused on the above ground economy, not the underground one. Like you said, if Wynn had 40 billion dollars and now has 4 due to the economy, then it’s safe to assume that the average man will be affected just the same. These are critical economic times across the board. Major corporations are going under and existing corporations are scaling down and cutting back. Everyone will be affected in one way or another, the hood included. If billionaires have to scale back, imagine what the average man has to do in order to survive? Now may be a good time for people to scale back until things stabilize…It seems like we may be approaching a paradigm shift in this country where there will be more transparency and less excess. Only time will tell…I do believe in Obama’s leadership but I honestly have no idea how that will play out in the hood…

  54. I live in Canada, and this whole recession / economic downturn has also affected us too. 2 years ago houses and condos were selling for 20 to 30 percent higher than they are now. I live in Alberta and about 2 years ago the province was oil rich.. lots of jobs everywhere, condos and commercial buildings going up left and right, everything booming.. after the fall, I know people have been losing jobs, companies downsizing, housing prices going down.. everything just going in the opposite direction.

    I know you call it the trap or whatever, but up here I have some homies that are street entrepreneurs and they always talking about how expensive it is to get work.. drug war in mexico, global recession, bottom line is these are not the best times at the moment, its not just Obama’s job to fix, it’s the whole shabang.. either way everyone’s got to live their life and hopefully things get better. When it hits rock bottom, there’s now where to go but up.

  55. First off, this demon we call a “Recession” isn’t a “race” thing…….it’s an economic thing. WE, Black people got so caught up in the fact that WE finally have a “HNIC” that we totally forgot the “true” essence of what really was going on in the background of our foreground. As my grandmother use to say, “Never let your right hand know what your left is doing”. I heard commentators say that the Obama Presidency is historical……….I beg to differ! If we remember the “true” Black History lessons that we were taught (most real Black History was taught not in school, but by parents and others that were of the progressive-Black Power Movement of the 60’s & 70’s), the only roles that Black people were allowed to have in the White House was in a domestic capacity…..the “clean up” crew. What is Obama doing? Cleaning up the “others” mess. We are NO strangers to the “cleaning” up of the “other’s” mess. It is by no chance also that he is bi-racial. “They” have always allowed the “house-negroes” more “relaxed” jobs according to “their” perspective. Cleaning shit outside the house as opposed to cleaning shit inside the house is STILL cleaning shit! Aside from habit, what we as a people need to recognize is that the tools needed to endure, survive, and maintain during seemingly disastrous times were long ago passed down to us. It is inherited……in breed….a part of our internal makeup. The beginning of our demise began with our own obsession to mimic the “status quo” ….Our love-hate relationship with “Da Man” contradicting tradition with desire. “Da Hood” game hasn’t changed…..just a NEW Twist. The Great Depression was a worldwide economic downturn starting in most places in 1929 and ending at different times in the 1930s or early 1940s for different countries. I remember the stories from my grandmother of how they use to embrace family and did everything as a unit to ensure their survival. There were no cable bills, cell phones, weaves, iPods, or any other wants. We have changed the definitions of what is a “need” as compared to a “want”. True change begins from within. Has Dr. King’s dream been realized? I would say No, simply because for that to be true would mean that the “Hearts” of the majority have been changed. Anyone that has been around anyone who has been addicted to ANYTHING……DRUGS, MONEY, WOMEN, ETC……knows that the first step to a cure is SELF-RECOGNITION……If you can’t recognize your own problem, it matters a damn how many others point it out to you. Prejudice, racism, classism, and any other isms are rooted in the heart and for that to change would require a spiritual awakening……an inner recognition of one’s own vulnerabilities. Then and only then can one free their mind to allow their ass to follow. Vanity has historically and categorically been the fall of mankind. WuTang said it best…..cash rules EVERYTHING around me….dolla dolla bill yall! Money in and of itself ain’t shit. It’s what money does that allows the wheels of the train to roll. In earlier times, money was not even used. There was a transfer of goods and services…..I’ll give you 10 bushels of veggies in exchange for one of your cows…….money allowed for a more congruent mode of transaction. Our people have taken allegiance with the “beast” in his misguidance. I say “beast” for lack of a better term at the moment. What comes out of the man determines his worth. Real begets real……superficial begets superficial. At the end of the day…..all ANY man truly has is his integrity and his word. When all the worldly goods are gone, what is left standing. Respect is earned and NEVER just given. Isn’t your self-worth far more than Society’s perception of you? It isn’t enough anymore to be “da man” on your block or in your hood. Your block and your hood ain’t shit in the whole global respect of things. Everything is a building block to something much greater than yourself. But those of you who are hell bent on still hangin’, bangin’, and slangin’ have to recognize that “Truth” starts on the inside. By confining yourselves to a 12 miles radius, “da hood” you short yourself the opportunity view the world in its totality. Life, isn’t isolated to ATL, Philly, Chicago, LA, Little Rock, Jackson, Brooklyn, Queens………Last time I looked, those were only microcosms with in a larger cosim, contained in an even larger cosim. No, you or I may not be a President or City Council Member, but we are still responsible for our own little “White or Black” house. Begin first with the house that houses your soul…….YOU! Then handle your own house………wife, kids, mother, father, grandfather, grandmother…….begin to heal needless wounds so that everyone is on the same page. A house divided cannot stand. If OUR forefathers were able to withstand the Transatlantic Slave trade, Jim Crow, Segregation, The Great Depression, separation, etc………………Then WHO IN THE HELL ARE WE TO COMPLAIN, GIVE UP, AND BE DEFEATED? The time is now for us to step back into our ORIGINAL MAN. We have come too damn far to let ourselves down.

  56. myspace.com/thefreshmen2008 I PROMISE U JD U WILL NOT BE WASTIN YOUR TIME CHECK US OUT!!!

  57. LISTEN UP! → PART 2 OF DOES OBAMA KNOW? JD MAKE A MUSIC VIDEO WITH DONDRIA ABOUT IT MAKE SURE SHE’S SEEN IN THE VIDEO KIND OF LIKE I tried Bone thugs ft Akon

  58. Heyyy Happy Birthday Mr. Raymond Happy Happy Birthday King Raymond IV !!!! 4/4 ahh

  59. I DON’T THINK WE CAN WAIT ON OBAMA… WHAT CAN HE REALLY DO FOR THE HOOD? WASN’T ANY JOBS BEFORE HE GOT IN OFFICE AND PROBABLY WILL NOT BE ANY AFTER HE’S GONE. IT’S TIME FOR US TO RETHINK THINGS… INSTEAD OF EVERYBODY TRYING TO BE RAPPERS, WE NEED TO FOCUS ON CAREERS…. EVERYBODY CAN’T RAP. IF WE TOOK THAT RAP PASSION AND PUT IT INTO THE BOOKS, WE ALL WOULD HAVE A BETTER HOOD FOUNDATION. WE HAVE TO HELP OURSELVES… IF JD BUILDS A BUSINESS IN THE HOOD WE NEED TO SUPPORT IT… NOT DESTROY IT. THAT’S HOW YOU BETTER THE HOODS. HERE IN VEGAS I RESPECT ANDRE AGASSI BECAUSE HE BUILT A CENTER IN THE HEART OF THE HOOD…NOW IF ALL OUR BUSINESS MEN, MUSICIANS, ENTERTAINERS, ATHLETES, ETC… DID THIS WE WOULD HAVE BETTER HOODS… LIKE BRAD PITT IN NEW ORLEANS… DO YOU KNOW WHAT “BABY” FROM CASH MONEY COULD HAVE DID WITH THE MONEY FROM HIS MOUTH, NECK, AND EARS IN NEW ORLEANS? I KNOW IT’S NOT THEY RESPONSIBILITY BUT THEY RELY ON US TO BUY MUSIC, TICKETS, AND CLOTHING. I’M JUST SAYING INSTEAD OF USING CHARITIES AS A GLORIFIED TAX WRITE OFF BUILD A BUSINESS IN THE HOOD….. COME ON PEOPLE IT’S UP TO US. SUPPORT AND BUILD… AND WE ALL NEED TO STOP HATING ON THE NEXT MAN.

  60. The reasons why California is on the brink of bankruptcy is simply because of BAD GOVERNANCE, the Governor cutting taxes yet again on the the wealthiest businesses, and the middle class and working poor being overtaxed yet again.

    In California big businesses made out like a bandit from the state government’s budget (see: http://www.californiaprogressreport.com/2009/02/california_budg_25.html). The losers from this are the middle class workers and the working poor, which I find quite offensive and very atrocious. It is like the Governor and the state legislature just don’t get it when it comes to fixing the problem that was first started by the governor cutting taxes–and now their cutting cut more taxes–absolutely ridiculous!

    I mean, Gov. Schwarzenegger and the state legislation is saying that everyone has to chip to save California, but then corporations get the biggest tax holiday breaks that is just outstanding and crazy! I find it odd that main street keeps getting the boot while corporations live off of main street.

    I think it is time for people in California and elsewhere to start getting out and protesting the injustices that is occurring. In regards to President Obama, I think he is trying to do the right things to stop the economical downfall. Also, I think once this is done he can also concentrate on helping further people of color and those who are suffering the worst from this economic hardship.

  61. Ok, so i just read your first post on this topic and i just read this second post.

    Firstly, in reference to things getting bad on the streets in terms of crime e.t.c. This is nothing “new” to the government. Things in the “hood” have always been bad, yes it may be getting worse but its no major shock thus meaning its not going to be high on President Obama’s lists “to sort out.” People in the hood themselves aren’t shocked when they hear somebody has died in the neighborhood… its become “the norm.”

    The top thing for Obama to sort out is the economy as a WHOLE because this is the root of many problems e.g. – jobs, what happens in the “hood” e.t.c. And this is what he’s been discussing in London, UK for the G20 meeting.

    Stats show that round the time of the election, black people were voting for Obama simply based on the fact that he is black and probably assumed that they’d get some kind of “get out of the ghetto” pass… how wrong and deluded many people were/are. Im not saying he’s not going to help black people, but there shouldn’t have been such an over hyped, deluded assumption.

    We cannot expect any MAJOR change by the time summer comes around, perhaps small steps trying to get us to where we need to be… but the man is no miracle worker and will not be able to fix the economy in just a few months. The lead up to the “recession” took its time, there was what one may say, “the calm before the storm” so nothing is going to be turned around in like 3 months.

    The media and the people were quick to build Obama up, however i will wait to see if he puts what he spoke about into action. Only time will tell…

  62. First of All. Shouts to the Homie JD for speaking something real to the community, especially the fabricated internet community. It seems like everyone is willing to hide behind a computer screen, and record, edit, and blog things that are so unreal, its hard to find the fake these times. JD couldn’t have said it better though, because it is getting hard out here on these streets. Its like everytime you turn around another body is being covered up, and its alot of times due to lack of “work” and “Resources” weither it be good or bad. Right now is the time when we “Really all Need to Unite”…we did it after 9-11, we did it to help elect obama, so why can’t we do it now? Why can’t we all say hey let me help thy neighbor and get it poppin together rather than, say hey F**k you sucka, “Get like me”…You can’t really do that when your hungry and going through things….How can you deny someone the basic essentials of life like love, food, and all good above? Clubs still want to charge craaaazzzzy ass price$ for people to have a good time, let alone get bottle service. Here’s a tip for the club owners, Free Entrance for all. Ball-ahaoulics who want to stunt, pay for VIP service, where they have waiters that bring the drinks, and etc. the whole night, while the regular folks pay half price for drinks, and dance the night away. You know what though, The club world is going back to how it use to be real soon. Jook Joint Style…

  63. Obama knows whats going on but only to a “need-to-know” extent. He reads and is briefed on criminal behavior increasing in the major US metropolitan areas and Mexico, but as we all know the economy is at the top of his agenda. The people who need to know are governors, senators, reps, alderman, and their affiliates and constituencies who purposely overlook poverty and crime consumed areas. These individuals are much more reachable and are fully aware of crime in their respective cities. Specifically, individuals living in or around these areas in Georgia need to get in contact with local officials like Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson.

  64. I think that the President realizes what’s about to happen but may not be ready to deal with all of what’s going to happen. People have been struggling for a minute in this economy, poor, rich or whatever the case may be but it’s the worst since the Depression. I was talking with my parents and they were saying how many blacks weren’t really effected by the Depression considering they didn’t have their money in the banks and so forth but now it’s hitting EVERYONE! Me and my mother went out to Cali a couple of weeks ago to relax for a couple weeks and we were talking with family members and the state of California had given out I.O.U’s to the citizens of their state for their state taxes! How insane is that? Let us tell the government that we’ll hit them back with the money and see how

  65. I think that the President realizes what’s about to happen but may not be ready to deal with all of what’s going to happen.

How insane is that? Let us tell the government that we’ll hit them back with the money and see how they would react! People like myself are graduates from well known colleges graduate in May with 2 degrees and still have no job almost a year later! It’s dumb hard out here and there are too many people in worst situations than mine.

    For the sake of all Americans from every background, I sincerely hope that President Obama is on his deem when it comes to the reality of what I consider a dire situation. People here in Baltimore are already acting up, summertime is coming, teens will be getting out of school and looking for that summer job to stay off the streets and they probably won’t have one because their mother, aunt, older brother/sister ended up having to work another part time job just to get by! If the President and his cabinet members aren’t listening or understanding now I’m sure they will in the months to come because it looks like things are about to get absolutely insane.

  66. I still say…..he is paying attention! I agree with miss couture. the hood has always been the hood! the reason the hood is so out of control is because we let it happen! when Bush cheated his way in..WE SAID NOTHING…TWICE!!..now shit is bad, and people want to go crazy because the economy is hell….DID ANY ONE IN THE HOOD PREPARE FOR THIS RAINY DAY? i don’t think so! We’ll change when we get sick & tired of being sick & tired! We’re looking for Obama to be Jesus Christ…..We have to change our mentality 1st. When we act more presidential, then maybe we can start cleaning up our own backyards.

    It’s bad everywhere and it’s going to take ALL OF US to help clean it up and not just put that on Obama. Now we all know how New Orleans feels! Let’s get it together people! Obama knows exactly what trouble we’re in. Why do you think he wasn’t giving up his crackberry?
