Nas likes Barack

Rapper Nas has declared his support for Presidential hopeful Barack Obama, describing him as the face of America, in an MTV interview.

Rapper Nas is the latest music type to declare his allegiance to Presidential hopeful Barack Obama, describing him as the "face of America". He told MTV: "There's no two ways to look at it, man - the man's got what it takes. He's serious. As a kid, you always think, 'We'll never see a black president,' you know? 'There'll never be a black president.' And you always feel that way. Everybody's always grew up that way, black and white. So I think now, with Obama having a great chance of winning, I think [with] black and white, there's been something lifted off their shoulders. It's like, 'This can happen. This can be great.' And it's about time".
