In 2008, Barack Obama did what many previously considered impossible, when he put together a solid campaign and defeated Hillary Clinton. After defeating Hillary Clinton, the wife of President Bill Clinton, Barack Obama would win the presidency over John McCain. As historic as the 2008 election was, the Obama presidency has received mixed reviews.
While things are still slow, hip hop for the most part is still endorsing Obama. Currently, however, his rival Mitt Romney, has a lead in the polls. After the close, questionable, election of 2000, many hip hop artists began encouraging young people to vote. T.I. famously spoke out, as a felon unable to vote, which was not true.
