Fat Joe Calls Daddy Yankee A ‘Sellout’ For Endorsing John McCain
“I opened the newspaper and got sick to my stomach,” Joe continued. “I felt like I wanted to vomit when I seen that. The reason why I called him a sellout is because I feel he did that for a [publicity] look, rather than the issues that are affecting his people that look up to him. How could you want John McCain in office when George Bush and the Republicans already have half a million people losing their homes in foreclosure? We’re fighting an unjust war. It’s the Latinos and black kids up in the frontlines, fighting that war. … We over here trying to take the troops out of Iraq and bring peace. This guy immediately wants war. If not with Iraq or Afghanistan, he’ll start a new one with Iran. I feel real disgusted that Daddy Yankee would do that. Either he did that for a look, or he’s just not educated on politics.”
Joe said he’s more than willing to educate Yankee on each of the politicians’ platforms.
“If he believes John McCain is the better candidate for the Latinos,” Joe said, “we could sit down. Even if he wants to get into a debate, we can debate anywhere — New York, Puerto Rico.”

Or maybe he just agrees with McCain more than Obama…i dunno why every thinks that if you support one candidate, then you support every single thing he says. Also, maybe its a better fit for him and what he wants the future of the country to be. A lot of what yall are sayin is what the media is sayin. Dont just follow, find out for urself….and i say all this supporting Obama.

August 28th, 2008 at 11:36 pm
As a hispanic man I’m disappointed, how can you even endorse someone who’s supporting and leading a political party who wants to see your people diminish and die, work for nothing. This is whats wrong with these fake artists man “give a dog a bone and he’ll find a new home” I dont even like reggaeton and regardless of what the reggaeton movement means to hispanics it makes me sad that people like daddy yankee confuse the people who need him the most, people who trust him for leadership…damn man its a sad day I speak for the people i know my people “My president’s black, my lambo’s blue, and i’ll be goddamned if my rims aint too”
ps just watched Obama stunt the nation and Fox news make a fool outta themselves
August 28th, 2008 at 11:42 pm
FINALLY FAT JOE SAID SOMETHING RIGHT FAT FUCK
August 28th, 2008 at 11:49 pm
daddy yankee might think twice when john mccain figures out a way to send him and his family right out of the country
August 28th, 2008 at 11:53 pm
mccain has been a long time fighter for the hispanic community and obama has and will do absolutely nothing for it? how is daddy yankee misinformed or just looking for publicity?

Daddy Yankee took a L. That nigga just looking for a quick paycheck.
August 29th, 2008 at 2:37 am
19. hotboy = Mitt Romney
Dont no one care about minorities till its time to colllect votes. 3 dudes already got caught plotting to kill Obama at the convention they where found with rifles, scopes, ammo, vests and two-way radios. They were quoted “blacks dont belong in the white house”. You think Hispanics gettin a pass. Matter of fact they didnt even charge them with assasination attempt becuase they where high off METH and said that made them incapable of accomplishing there goal.
Give that man a chance before you shit on him. Worst case senario we right where we always been.
August 29th, 2008 at 2:49 am
he can endorse whoever he wants to. most of you obama dick riding anyways and probably never even heard of him 12 months ago. not to mention you most likely won’t vote anyways. obama camp already denounced rap supporters
August 29th, 2008 at 4:07 am
just seein that jada has squashed the 50 beef, i think fat joe had to find a way to stay relevant, coz jada and dblock aint gonna back his beef with 50 no more…
August 29th, 2008 at 6:28 am
Fat Joe sucks, Daddy Yankee Sucks McCain’s dick..whut a wonderful world!!!
August 29th, 2008 at 8:26 am
JOEY CRACK HAS ALWAYS BEEN OK WITH ME, I DON’T KNOW THE CAT PERSONALLY SO WHO & WHY HE BEEFS WITH SOME ONE IS NONE OF MY BUSINESS.. BUT WHEN YOU’RE RIGHT YOU’RE RIGHT, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY COULD GIVE A GOOD GOT DAMN ABOUT ANY ONE THAT’S NOT GOING TO PUT MORE MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS! ESPECIALLY AFRICAN AMERICANS & HISPANICS, COME ON PEOPLE OPEN YOUR EYES! YOU THINK 4 ONE MINUTE MCCAIN HAS A DADY YANKEE CD IN OR AROUND HIS HOME? HELLS NO!
I CO SIGN WITH 8,9, 27 & ANY ONE ELSE THAT TRULY GIVES A DAMN ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THIS NATION!
IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT AFRICAN AMERICANS,CAUCASIANS,HISPANICS OR ANY OTHER ETHNICITY.. IT’S ABOUT RED,WHITE & BLUE! WERE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER! UNITED WE STAND OR DIVIDED WE WILL “CONTINUE” 2 FALL!!
OBAMA O8!!!
August 29th, 2008 at 8:48 am
Fat Joe is making a lot of sense to me.
Let’s see if Daddy Yankee is going to be able to defend his position as well.
And @ #5…the epitome of what is wrong with rap fans/people today…just because you are a fan of one person, doesn’t mean you have dislike like another simply because THEY are in disagreement. Right is right/Hot is hot.
August 29th, 2008 at 10:31 am
LMAO I ACTUALY HAVE 2 AGREE WIT FAT JOE THIS IS DISGUSTIN…HE KNOS XACTLY WUT HE TALKN BOUT
August 29th, 2008 at 10:42 am
I agree that this is what makes our democracy unique that we all have the right to choose, but Joe is right. McCain used this as an Hispanic ploy (i have researched both candidates,) and McCain is all for shutting our borders. C’mon people, what race is the most affected by such a move? Hispanics. He is not for blacks or latino’s. He choose a seriously conservative Alaskian only served 2 yrs as Gov chick named Sarah Palin as his VP. PEOPLE WE MUST SATND UP 11/4/08!
August 29th, 2008 at 11:43 am
Honestly we don’t know homie point of view (Daddy Yankee) he might have his good points on picking McCain. that’s the thing about picking Presidents. That other cat Ron Paul, he a republican and he wanted to take out taxes for good. That’s the shit that’s fuckin us up with this recession thing.
August 29th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
Anywhere that supports MCCain and makes less than 250,000 a year should really consider themselves a moron….if you make 250,000 and support him,,,,,i understand, don’t agree with it but I understand
August 29th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
daddy yankee is irrelevant. he is especially irrelevant to music. he went double copper in the US. his opinion in the election doesnt matter. he isnt even the biggest artist in the latin community. he does not matter. nobody had seen his ass till he got on tv with mccain
August 29th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
its funny how yall talk like Daddy Yankee aint nobody,he is the latin jay z and he have more money than a lot of rappers so stfu and i hope he say something on point for picking mccain,if not fat joe should teach his ass
August 29th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
Cosign @#28 There is waaaay too much Obama dick riding going on today!!! Where were all you Obama supporters a year and a half ago??? Where were you b4 Iowa??? How dare Daddy Yankee have a mind of his own!!!! Didn’t somebody give him the memo that you’re supposed to dick ride Obama!!! I know Fat Joe didn’t accuse McCain of being a war monger, did he??? Is this the same Fat Joe that raps about shooting and killing people, and ” Thanking God for that white “???? Bottom line is vote for who the fuck you want to vote for. It’s funny to see all these rappers who rap all gangsta, and rap about killing dudes 24-7, Then got the nerve to diss bush about the Iraq war. If you’re not Mos def, Talib Kwali, Lupe Fiasco, Kanye, Common, Nas, Joell Ortiz or Dead Pres, I’m not trying to take you serious when it comes to political issues. Gangster rappers please shut up!!!!! Mad props to Daddy Yankkee for having a mind of his own.
August 29th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
I Like Joey Crack
but okay Obama is the best !!
but if yankee wants to support and endors mccain
it’s his problem. nothing more nothing less !!
ENDORSEMENT NEVER PERSONAL,
but
VOTE IS PERSONAL !
AND fo the real day, of the election :
yo yall, go vote !
August 29th, 2008 at 1:47 pm

August 29th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Wait ! Hold UP, REALLY ?? , did i read this right ?????
Is Daddy Yankee the latin Jay Z ??????
OH MAYN. I think I will let someone else speak for me.
August 29th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
word on the street is he got snubbed when daddy yankee reached out to him earlier…but obama snubbed him bc of his criminal past and didnt wanna associate wit anyone too niggerish or spic-ish…so he musta been pissed and signed wit mccain and u kno he got paid off top and is prolly still gonna vote obama lol
August 29th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
i didnt know fat joe was so informed
i would like to see more rappers talk in detail about both candidates not just barack, if yankee wanna endorse mccain he can do that. but it brings out the best in others who will have to know the fact b4 they criticize him.
so lets get this debate poppin
August 29th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Daddy yankee could eat a dick faggot ass nigga fuck u was doin here anyway should of been makin that bullshit he calls music dick head
August 29th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
im wit joe 100 percent on dat
mccain is just tranna get votes from young latinoes girls
August 29th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
#18 that has to be the funniest thing I’ve ever read on a blog…LMFAOO!!!! Like I said everyone is entitled to their candidate choice so don’t knock him. I just feel he chose the wrong one and Joey did really surprise…he’s a lot more informed than me and here I thought he was just on the beach in his new hometown of Miami tannin’ and tryna lose weight.
August 29th, 2008 at 10:19 pm
27. okokokaay
all i was saying was that daddy yankee has a good reason to support mccain over obama and shouldn’t be looked at as an idiot for doing so. mccain isn’t even that bad a candidate, he’s a good dude, you would only think he was because you are brainwashed by the media.
August 30th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
yeah man hate it or love it Daddy yankee is the latin jay z,this man have more power and money than anybody latin urban musucian and believe it or not this man is a real lyricist but I guess yall just know his comercial hits and like jay z is your not a real fan you may consider him not that good,Daddy yankee its a real don and he knows how to keep it real and im waiting on him to respond for this
August 30th, 2008 at 5:10 pm
whats the deal with fat hoe is he like inviable he says yankee aint educated on politics?…im not saying he aint but fat hoe cant speak he dont even know what race he is let alone trying to school someone for thier thoughts maybe yankee feels mccain would be better but c-mon why is joe saying latinos and blacks are on the front line every race is on the front line and it aint like bullets only kill black and latinos whites die to but i guess when you wanna be ignorant race is the easiest cop out and everyone knows joe aint nothing in the game if khaled didnt throw joe lil features on good traks then joe wouldnt even be seen let alone heard and i feel joe is below everyones radar has joe ever sold a mill without everyones help cause his best tracks have another big rapper on it and they are the reason people like the songs and the only reason artist get on them tracks is a favor for khaled i mean seriously if joe is one of the top selling rap artist what has this game came too? and oh yeah just to let all the fat hoe fans know tim mcgraw and nellys single sold more singles then any of joes ever have and mcgraw is a country singer keep up the good work rat somemo (fat joe)
August 30th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
and one last thing what is joe doing calling out yankee i dont see him helping obama get any votes or even helping his community at all at least yankee goes for his people joe is just so soft and talks shit about everyone ….when khaled tells joe his mickey mouse raps dont cut it no more i bet joe will talk shit to him too joe crack joe bloe bloe ho whatever the fuck he wants to be called is stuck in 97 still his shit is wack his disses are terrible his ryhmes in general are just plain fucking played out who the fuck even pirates his music let alone pays for a cd he is one rapper i dont understand why he gets any play for anything he just is bad his shit sounds the same as the first day he came outwhat the fuck and yankee is free to plug his self for publicity if he wants joe aint about nothing but feeding his face and running his mouth and his comment that blacks and latinos are on the front line what about whites too and all the other races i mean c-mon the race card is so old him and benzino are the only two people who use that still cause his fat ass is so mixed up he dont know what race he is black latino he looks like a oriental sumo to be honest and thats whats real he aint got no hot shit by himself and anything that is hot is because khaled lets his fat ass on tracks prolly cause he feels bad and other rappers are on his shit for favors to khaled this dude is soft j-t lake is better than him anyone who feels joe said the right thing i feel sorry for you cause joe aint putting himself out there for obama or mccain at least other artist have enough pride to say what they feel not like joe who say what he thinks people wanna hear and last but not least that big bitch needs gastric bypass or a diet before he has a heart attack and everyone who thinks joe is right or his shit is hot aint joe disrespectful of blacks for saying nigga because its already hard enough for black people getting other black people to stop using the word let alone some fat bastard who shouldnt use the word and if he cares about blacks and latinos like he acts why is he using the word or starting beef with only blacks and latinos all of who are better than him for the the same reason he says yankee spoke for publicity sounds like the tea kettle calling the pot black??
August 30th, 2008 at 6:05 pm
Yo Fat Joe is that dude people love to hate…
But he is right. Daddy Yank (check the name for further proof) is being played like a pawn, a piece on the board (to get the Puerto Rican vote)! So with that said Joe is concerned?
So many haters of Joe…Dude ain’t perfect. Why Bronx really hating on Joe? Anyway I have been a fan of some of his singles since “Watch the Sound” (and I met dude; he’s down to earth) he may be full of shit- but at least 60% of the rappers/emcees are full of it too- don’t get it twisted.
But maybe D Y is using McCain? I think McCain is using him more for getting the Puerto-Rican vote in NYC as well as the isle- so to me that’s the greater issue- less about Joe and more about McCain (who is as bad as Bush).
August 30th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
bush has never really been bad im a demo but he aint brought me down none in life bush is just a guy people who are to lazy to get a job can blame for not having a job and bush dont take no shit he will go to war with anybody who talks shit we need a leader like that not one who hides bush didnt cause 9/11 other presidents did he just happened to be in office when it happened and further more mccain is a decent dude every presidential candidate always uses celebrities to get votes every four years im not getting what d-y did wrong….is it cause he has the choice to pick who he want?
joe is just mad cause no one cares what he gots to say thats it cut the bullshit everyone knows it fat prick should go and be the front man for jenny craig haha thats why fifty and every other rapper from ny dont like his big ass it should be a law for him to not be an artist ..he is down to earth you say was that on ya’lls date haha
August 31st, 2008 at 12:11 am
Nastyman please read a book. All off topic…record sales, weight (you like your men slim I see, spent a whole damn post on his size, damn homo!), like seriously, go to school or something.
Thanks!
September 1st, 2008 at 4:56 am
hey chrissy you a fat girl???
i know one thing is for sure on the subject like i said big names in all aspects push for president elects im sorry joe got beat to the punch
but seriously i aint no homo but its cool internet gangster i dont want no word wars with ya but really ill keep it like this if joe cares so much about the country and the war and whatever else why is daddy yankee not allowed freedom of speech and right to his opinion and joe is and i mean i think i hit on the subjects right besides calling him fat but joe sold out his states you should go and put that in your hip hop journal chrissy joe on mixtapes and dvds has been quoted as saying new york is a dead state when it comes to rap and he claims bx but whatever i guess mccain is cool and so is obama they are the same guy just one will be the better liar but this much can be true joe has sold out more than air forces but when he has a legitimate beef maybe i will say he is right till then chrissy dont be mad about fat remarks cause your fat go to school you say to learn about hip hop i guess so then but for now ima swallow spit and talk shit
September 1st, 2008 at 3:15 pm
fuck daddy yankee, fuck john mccain fuck em all! i bury those cockaroaches!
September 2nd, 2008 at 1:20 am
fat joe, the kid who sold out NY for Cali then Miami.

September 2nd, 2008 at 4:29 pm
balaramesh
thats the truth summed up in one sentence man so the truth joe calling people sellouts and he dont even know what state he is from or allowed to be in until dj’s let him on tracks to fill space and he doesnt know what color he wants to be black or latino he should just keep his mouth shut and be happy black people dont cut his fat ass up for saying nigga ……..haha i love this topic fuck im gonna keep writing until they take this down lol han montan=fat joe
September 2nd, 2008 at 4:43 pm
oh yeah obama clinton mccain and every other presidential elect are all the same when has there ever been a pres everyone like everyone hates yankee used mccain and vice versa but obama is using people too and mccains peole arent saying racist shit like obamas priest who was great till he hurt his chances c-mon people the goverment are the sellouts not no one else it aint like mccain is gonna rap on a yankee cd and yankkee aint gonna be mccains running mate he is building votes like everyone else joe is the only sellout in all of this realize this people dont be crazy how is mccain supposed to win if no one endorsing him i dont care who wins but i do like it to stay fair
