Quotes : Fat Joe
“I opened the newspaper and got sick to my stomach. 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.”
- Fat Joe talks to MTV News about Daddy Yankee’s endorsement of John McCain for President of The United States.

Aww…here we go. Like I said a million times…I think Daddy Yankee is endorsing McCain because he actually believes in his ideas/proposals.
I have watched several Daddy Yankee interviews and read some as well and he doesn’t seem like the type who is going to support someone just for publicity.
I guess I…along with my entire family and all the other latinos out there who happen to be republican are sellouts as well.
Anyways….all of this is going to start a Fat Joe and Daddy Yankee feud.
Again…this is just my opinion.

Hey Stupid! George Bush has not one thing to do with forclosures- Greedy, irresponsible people who scammed mortgage companies with fake income statements to get overpriced houses to “flip” are to blame- I was offered one of those fake, scam mortgages from Countywide and I declined it- I am still renting and my “Condo” has lost $70,000 in value- because it was never worth what it was listed at. And I knew it and said no thanx. Im not a genius- I just not greedy and crooked. They deserve the consequences of their scam.

Fat Joe is stupid! He is disgusted? Well maybe he is disgusted because he is a has been who is doing this for publicity himself. Who cares who Yankee wants to endorse. It’s none of his business! We all have a choice and if he doesn’t like it then fine. You don’t go putting someone on blast just because yu don’t agree. This is the United States of America and we have a right to choose for ourselves without stupid people like him whining.
As for education maybe it’s you FAT JOE who needs it! One because it’s not the republicans fault over the people losing their homes. Are you going to blame them when you no longer have your career? Or should you blame them for being obese? See…..One should think before he speaks because doesn’t mean we should put him on front street because he doesn’t help his people on why it’s not a good idea to be obese and why we may not like staring at his obesity ways.

This is a free country and you are allowed to vote for who you want. Regardless if you are famous or not.
And the soldiers DO volunteer. There isn’t a draft (Thank GOD) and you sign up for the military, it’s not mandatory. You know good and well that the military goes to WAR and there is a very high probability that you will be shipped out. You don’t sign up to play “Soldier”. You know what you are getting your self into.
Just like when you signed the documents for an outrageous mortgage. You knew what you were getting yourself into. And if you provided false income statements, where did you think the money was going to come from to pay your mortgage? That is your own fault not the government’s.
Obviously there were many Latinos that were taken advantage of by other crooked Latinos. That’s not the government’s fault either.
It may just be that Fat Joe is jealous. Daddy Yankee is continually on top of his game.

coming from a soldier…if Daddy Yankee wants to ignorantly support a man that is a war promoter, then so be it. It is our choice as soldiers to volunteer to defend our country from enemies…not to pick on a broken down country for the one resource that they actually have. there’s a difference in supporting our country, and supporting a greedy president.
Fat Joe should NOT be talking about beeing a sell-out. Mister NEW YORK over there forgot about the ‘hood’ and keeps his home in Miami as his place residence. So Joe…tone it down, sell-outs not welcome here.

People that scammed mortgage companies? Huge companies like Countrywide, Indy Mac and American General were the victims of scams? All of these financial institutions have strict guidelines for loan processing. In reality, greedy companies were taking advantage of a housing boom and participating in predatory lending.
Why do you think so many lenders are being investigated for fraud and unethical practices? Do not pretend to blame a large percentage of this country for the practices of some of the most powerful companies in the world. People losing their homes are also a result of some of the highest unemployment rates in recent years. That is a direct result of the Bush administration’s mismanagement of the economy and why the value of the dollar is in the toilet. Bush is at fault when this stuff is going on. Because he’s the guy in charge, whether many of us like it or not.
If Daddy Yankee supports McCain fine, that doesn’t mean that Fat Joe can’t call him out on it, right? If Daddy Yankee didn’t want his political opinion to be known or criticized, he shouldn’t have publicly endorsed McCain.

While it may be true that soldiers do enlist themselves, it is mainly the minority doing so. Why? Because we are the ones in need of the benefits that come from enlisting yourself with the military. Like going to college or getting a nice apartment, for example. Rich white people and middle class people don’t have to do this because they don’t need it. Blacks and Latinos are left with basically no choice but to enlist themselves. That’s where Fat Joe was coming from, I believe - and I support his opinion 100%. The hypocrites are the ones posting here criticizing Fat Joe for criticizing Daddy Yankee. I mean, how stupid can one be?

Ramona- you are wrong!
J.C. Thank you for your support
My Boyfriend is not poor by any means-He is white, raised upper middle class and could sit on his ass and work as a model if he wanted to. He is from Texas and loves our country-he wants to fight our enemies. Thats why he joined the U.S. Army! He wants to go! And his 2 brothers are there too- So, NO- They are not forced by the evil U.S. government to fight for our great land!
I am not a George Bush fan- He is a very dishonest man- But, our soldiers are there for the right reason- To kill the Taliban, before they attack and kill us again. Real men fight for their country- They dont discredit the efforts of those who do.

Both of these artists are doing this for publicity.
Daddy Yankee is not a sellout.
But he IS stupid for endorsing a candidate that (in my opinion) will just be more Bushit! Obama will just be new bullshit.
But I was really bothered about the fact that Daddy Yankee said he wouldn’t talk to Obama.
Let’s be real and honest, Republicans fuck our communities up in all ways possible! (heavy recruitment in our schools, raids, border walls and “security”, NAFTA, corporate america, denying to provide education to our youth about sex, and the list goes on…)
As a Latino who should be conscious about the struggle of our people, Daddy Yankee made a mistake supporting McCain who intends to follow old policies that have not work in our favor.

Wow! Who took the cake from Fatty Joe’s hand?? Someone had to have ruffled his feathers before he went on that interview! I COMPLETELY agree with Daddy Yankee, McCain IS the man for the job. I am a 100% Conservative Republican and Latina as well. Do you Obama supporters really believe you and your families will be safe with this wet-behind the ear, inexperienced, tree hugging idiot?? His little peace rallies aren’t going to resolve squat. McCain has the experience, knowledge and guts to keep this country safe from those terrorist bastards. And, as a former Indymac employee, the government had nothing to do with the decisions these struggling homeowners made when they applied for a home loan with adjustable rates. They knew, upfront, that they would potentially sky rocket to ridiculous, over the top rates. If I can’t pay a bill, it’s nobody else’s fault but my own.
A little suggestion for Fat(Ass) Joe: You sound much smarter when your mouth is SHUT.

shiobhan…
I want to ask you one question: what do you mean by ‘black people are for themselves’??
two- from what I’m reading, you dont sound like you’re old enough to make an educated comment, just like most of these people on here. If you guys are old enough to have common sense, you would be doing the homework.
Second, sorry to BURST everyone else’s bubble, but a person does NOT volunteer to enlist themselves [except for women]. It’s funny though, because you have all of these ‘recruits’ coming into the schools, and/or you just so happen to go visit a military office to ‘volunteer’.
The only difference is this: If you ‘register’ for SS, you’re inactive- when you ‘volunteer’, you’re most likely going to be ‘active’. Then again, isnt it the same as for those being a national guard- because you’re on ‘reserved’ status- or ‘inactive’ until there’s a national emergency?
If you’re a MALE between the ages 18-25 and are in school, or registered to vote, and/or BOTH, you HAVE to register with SELECTIVE SERVICES [if you’re in college, you’ll notice the question on the front page of your financial aide application- or you get one of those letters sent from your local government to register to vote and it will say it in there, and if you DONT register yourself, you will be fined to $250,000 and/or imprisonment up to 5 years.
Yet, this factor is debated because it violates the 13th Amendment about ‘involuntary servitude’.
FACT: It is the women who have the ‘choice’ on whether to serve or not.
To be real about things: You ALL have been lied to.
I’m not supporting Barack Obama, and I definitely as hell am not supporting McCain. Both parties are all trouble anyways. they fuck up each and everytime any side gets into the house. It was for a minute okay since Clinton was president, but dont get it twisted- he fucked up too, and it wasnt just with the scandal.
Bottom line: If you’re going to support a system which impeaches a president over a blowjob and won’t put Bush on trial for crimes of humanity- im sorry. You’re ALL lost, and that’s sad.
PS: I would like to see Fat Joe and DY in a debate, but then he was asked if he would take him on his off he says that he wasnt a politician, but then he’s a man of ‘ideals’ just like McCain? He put himself out there, so what was he to expect anyone else to say? A lot of people was shocked about it, but Fat Joe just so happened to call him out on it in public and challenged him on it- so as far as a publicity stunt is concerned, I doubt that [on both ends]. Seriously.
as far as DY’s response: what a pathetic cop out.
