Blagojevich Scandal Celebrated In Song: 'Dey Know (Blago)'

As we've documented, the Rod Blagojevich scandal has been such an amazing source of creative inspiration. So we're excited that Spencer Ackerman, of Firedoglake/The Washington Independent -- who last week wondered just where Blago fit in the Pantheon of Gangster -- has joined the fray, by answering his own question. Riding aloft Shawty Lo's "Dey Know" beat, we bring you Blago Del Fuego, with guest rhymes from Vitamin, as they give Blago the hip-hop treatment he deserves. Writes Ackerman: "Yes, that's right, not only is Blago up on the latest rap feuds, he's finding time in his busy schedule to call out Common and Yeezy." Goin' worldwide!

A scandal with a soundtrack­...Pricele­ss

[tbevilacqua1034]

Between this and Ludacris' song about Obama, rap seems to becoming more political. Though, it seems to be different from Public Enemy's awareness...

That's good, tight beat too, but I wish rappers would get better audio (or send accompanying lyrics) so people can have more respect for their craft.

And we can expect a new rapper with the stage name "Rod Blago" soon. Watch for it.

you should download a lyrics plugin for windows media player...u will be privy to all their lyrics. If they do not come up automatically when the song plays...it will search google oh your behalf. Now you can rap along...and indeed sing along to your kind of music as well.

Like Jerry Maguire......show me the money
I`m the Tony Montana of politics this seat is sweet like honey,
I`m getting payed this is my golden parachute
My wife needs attention like Barbie Caribous.

She `s always stressin` to take care of the Cubs
*u.c.k. the hospital,it`s all about the Blags,
Catch me if you can Fitzgerald tape me if you want
I`ve got nothing to hide all I see is the sun.

Blago is my name and my hair is so thick
I`m so O.G. I make Gotti look weak.
Give me a million nothing in life is for free
I`ll be the next President in 2016.

[NCIndependent]

LMAO. You see me coming and empty pockets! LMAO

[ReasonIsMyReligion]

I can't relate.
But if the people who do get it now pay more attention to politics, huzzah.

[speeddeeps]

This is good jason

[leeman79]

He was the kid in the old life cereal commercial, "Hey Mikey, he likes it".

[jukesgrrl]

He DOES look like that kid!

[eden4barack08]

More like Bob's Big Boy.

[ZimboChick]

Lol this is sick!!! Now I have to cop the original Shawty Lo. Dude you better start recording

[305Rider]

Get that remix, it's better.

[SisterSoul-08]

Although I can't understand a word being said!

[ZimboChick]

It's easy...just approach it as poerty...or something....its not hard at all

[SisterSoul-08]

Nice beat! I like it!

[neenj]

I am really feeling this beat!!!

[ohioan73]

The song is really good. I thought it was going to be a corny Hip-Hop knockoff attempt but its authentically Hip-Hop. I LMAO @ him calling out Common. Common is the most un-gangsta rapper in history. He is all about black unity and respect. You would have to be a bully to call out Common. That will probably be lost on non-Hip-Hop fans but that's hilarious by itself.

[ZimboChick]

I know lmao!! Lol Blago just gave Kanye and Weezy a whole lotta stuff to work with
