Unless a person has taken up residence under the proverbial rock, they must know by now that Barack Obama has recurred the Democratic presidential nomination. As a whole, the hip hop community has been one of the strongest supporters of Obama's efforts. In an article posted to MTV.com, industry heavyweights, Diddy and Young Jeezy weighed in on Obama's historic victory.

"Today is one of the greatest and proudest moments of my life," said Diddy on Wednesday (June 4). "Not just as a black man, but as an American. Senator Obama becoming the Democratic nominee for president is history in the making and proof that we do live in the greatest country in the world!"

In an expression of his political beliefs, Young Jeezy donned a "F*ck Bush" shirt on stage at Hot 97's Summer Jam this past Sunday (June 1). Jeezy revealed to MTV that he has been "really interested" in politics this year. He reportedly said that any one of the hopefuls will do a better job than our current president. However, he acknowledged how big of a challenge it is going to be to repair the current disheveled political climate in the U. S. "I know however it comes out [the election] is gonna affect all of us," the Snowman said. "It's like trying to fix a record label that's bankrupt. These different households - middle class [or] people on Wall Street waking up bankrupt every day when the stocks ain't the same. It's a hard job for any one person to fix the country. It's a lot of people. I can't make everybody happy in my family. I know damn well can't nobody make everybody happy in the country. You gotta deal with too many issues."
