Last night, America showed us just how far we've come, by overwhelmingly electing Barack Obama the next President of the United States. Many skeptics never thought he could win, and even more out there thought they would never see a black president...  boy how they were wrong.  Barack beat the odds and organized the greatest campaign in history, with the greatest voter registration in history.  We cant wait to see whats next. Check out the video and watch history being made.  

Obama's Victory Speech

It's November 4th! Time to Barack  the Vote.

We making history today people. Don't let the long lines scare or deter you. Be apart of something big. It's time for change! Your vote matters.

I'm glad you asks that, lol....

Well, I put on my Red vest, my collarless shirt, and my John McCain button, and took my right wing views trick or treating. I made sure my arms were short and to the point. LMAO

Im just joking...yall know what it is..."That One, 08"

OBAMA 08, period

The RadioRo are advocates of voting since we were eleigible to vote. This issue is so important because if more people would've voted a few years back, we wouldnt be in the state we're in now as a country. The time is now, CHANGE is here, and the RadioRo supports Obama.

"That One 08", puntos

More and more, we are beginning to see hip hop and politics come to the forefront of music, artists talking about real issues and encouraging the listening audience (many black youth) to put faith back into the system and vote for the change so many have been waiting for.

Rappers tend to love him -- or at least the basic idea of a black man in the White House. They understand him, they can see his dream for the future and his positive campaign, and overwhelming success is unrivaled by any other in history.  Pro-Obama rap songs and references are arriving in droves, and online video endorsements are arriving just as quickly, from "Yes We Can" a song put together by Will.I.Am featuring John Legend, all the way to hip hop stars, Young Jeezy and Nas with "My President is Black.

Ludacris with his contriversial "Politics" praising Obama, calling Hillary a bitch, saying John McCain should be in a wheelchair, not the White House, and declaring that President Bush "is mentally handicapped."

A remix of Ice Cube's "Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It," mentions Barack on which Scarface raps: "I hope that Barack could pull the troops from Iraq."

On "Black Republicans," a song from Lil Wayne's mix tape "Da Drought 3," guest Juelz Santana raps: "I'm feelin' like a black Republican / Naw, I can't call it / More like a black Democrat runnin' 'em out of office / Young Barack Obama, I'm all for it."

Three 6 Mafia's "Last 2 Walk" includes the couplet, "There's a whole lotta room in the front of the Range / Like Barack Obama said, yeah it's time for a change." 

Common, a rapper from Obama's home base of Chicago, has invoked the senator's name repeatedly, as in "The People," in which he declares: "My raps ignite the people like Obama." On a remix of the Jadakiss song "Why?," Common wonders: "Why is Bush acting like he trying to get Osama? / Why don't we impeach him and elect Obama?"

And in a recent freestyle, Jay-Z -- who is always using analogies to cast himself as hip-hop's microphone commander in chief -- concluded: "I'm signing off as the hood's Barack."

Its true that Barack inspired us all, and it shows in our music, ideas, and our actions.  I hope that because of this, we can strive to be a better people, I hope we can stop killing each other, and I hope... i just hope we can take an hour out of our day on Nov 4th and make it to the polls and vote for the change that we so desperately need.
