"Exclusive": Daddy Yankee and Fat Joe Face Off in Last-Minute Plea to Voters

With less than 24 hours left until Election Day, celebs are feverishly stepping up to the mic in the hopes of swaying undecided voters. First came a pre-Halloween endorsement of Barack Obama by rock supergroup Maná, then a statement in support of John McCain by Maria Conchita Alonso, who wants you to know that "It is not too late to save this country from becoming socialist; leaders of countries like Cuba, Venezuela and all other enemies the USA have admitted that they would like Mr. O to win." (Actually, she said "Señor O." We're not kidding.)
Now, Latina.com has secured exclusive, down-to-the-wire and entirely hypothetical appeals from McCain proponent Daddy Yankee and Obama loyalist Fat Joe. If you thought these two were passionate when making their cases the first time around, get ready. We're pitting the silver-tongued MC's against one another via instant message, and the results promise to be even more heated and direct. Gentlemen, the floor is yours.
Daddy Yankee: Oye, Latinas! El Jefe here. Este...back in August, I shocked the globe--or at least, the part of it that realizes I'm still a huge star--by showing love for John McCain and representing for all Latinos who share his beliefs. Today, I ask you to stand beside me on Election Day and vote republicano también!
Fat Joe: First of all, can we fact check this clown? He can't even vote!
Daddy Yankee: I don't need to vote, Joe. I vote with my words, and the people follow. Same thing happens when I drop a record; it goes straight to the top of the charts. But you wouldn't know anything about that, would you?
Fat Joe: Touché. Alright, let's get back to the point. Latinas, stand uuuuuuup! It's your boy, Joe Crack, and I'm telling you one last time to please, for the love of Jesucristo, cast your vote for Barack Obama tomorrow. My man is for CHANGE. And change isn't just what we want or what we can believe in, it 's what we NEED.
Daddy Yankee: That doesn't even make sense.
Fat Joe: Oh, word? You got something better?
Daddy Yankee: Actually, yes. I want to talk about energy independence for a second...
Fat Joe: Here we go...
Daddy Yankee: Latinas, I know how much you love la gasolina. Well as McCain says, Drill, Baby, Drill! Feel me?
Fat Joe: That's just disgusting. Ladies, energy independence isn't about drilling more. It's about making it rain. We need to create viable, alternative sources of fuel and get those dollar bills flowing again. Barack wants to invest in clean coal and make American hybrid cars, so we can be a leader in the automobile industry.
Daddy Yankee: Would you ever drive a hybrid?
Fat Joe: Doesn't matter. We can't just rely on offshore drilling to solve our energy problems. With Obama's plan, we'll get 10% of our electricity to come from renewable sources by 2012 and reduce our carbon emissions 80% by 2050. What you got now, Mr. Can't Vote?
Daddy Yankee: Okay, smarty pants. Where is Obama going to find this money to "invest"? The country is broke. He's trying to spread the wealth when there's none to go around. No wonder Castro and Chavez want him to win...he's a socialista.
Fat Joe: Man, this is logic is so boneheaded, I can't even justify it with a response.
Daddy Yankee: So I win. McCain/Palin '08!
Fat Joe: You know, if you want your girl Sarah up in the White House, you should really be supporting Obama...
Daddy Yankee: I'm not falling for that...but wait, what do you mean?
Fat Joe: Fool, she doesn't want to play wingwoman to McCain. She wants to RUN the game.
Daddy Yankee: That's crazy. Sarita's too pretty for that.
Fat Joe: I know. What, you ain't heard about her "going rogue"? Bottom line, she wants McCain to lose so she can run in four years. You let a woman get too close, and all of the sudden she's up in your business.
Daddy Yankee: Well when you put it that way, it sounds a little sexist...pero no way should a woman be president. What is this, a free-for-all? On the real, if Hillary were running, I'd be pushing for McCain con mas ganas todavía.
Fat Joe: I'm sayin'.
Daddy Yankee: I don't know...I think you're just trying to appeal to my machista reggaetonero sensibilities. You may be right, but I'm not buying into it. There's too much at stake in this election.
Fat Joe: You mean the one you can't vote in?
Daddy Yankee: Wiseass. Latinas, if you're tired of schemers like this one who are all talk but have no hits--I mean, action--to back it up with, vote for John McCain. He's got the record and the experience, and most importantly, he can hold his own in a conversation about boxing. Name one self-respecting Latino who can't appreciate that.
Fat Joe: Famous last words. Mujeres, please vote for Barack Obama. McCain is no different from Bush, and the last 8 years have sucked. Do you want another 4-8 years of the same hot mess? It's really that simple.Thanks for hearing me out, and remember, if we all band together, we can "Make It Rain" one more time.
Daddy Yankee: That song wasn't even hot.
Fat Joe: I hate you.

Daddy Yankee: That's right. Who's your Daddy? Me!

Quiero que sepan que no defiendo a DY Cuando vi a DY hablar a favor de McCain me dieron ganas de vomitar. Pero una cosa que muchos estan equivocado es que si DY tiene primera residencia en los EU el si puede votar cosa que muchos puertorros hacen. Nosotros los Boricua no votamos si residimos en PR pero si podemos si vivimos aca en main land. El pobre estan moron que el mismo no esta de acuerdo que una mujer pueda ser presidenta so el ni sabe ni tiene idea de lo que habla. Y todavia tiene las desfachates de pedir nos a las mujeres latinas que apoyemos su candidato. Yo me alegro que Obama haya ganado por que no solo representa una minoria sino que representa una nueva era para todos.

you are so right yolanda v. I am so pist off at daddy, he doesn't need to kiss ass, he's already famous, he should of at least not participated and kept his stupid belief to himself, but ricans go with obama, because even if some of us didn't come from poor families, the majority of our island does, and he did, and no matter who runs, democratic parties are always in favor to help the minorities which are us, and I'm proud of where we came from and we are fortunate to be a part of the usa, and not suffer like immigrants do without seeing they're families and country, but I rather be poor and proud than rich and greedy like mccain and republicans!and now unfortunately Daddy Y. He let us down and he owes us an appology, anyway I'm sure he feels stupid now that his foolishness didn't work!

I find it kinda odd that Daddy Yankee is so brain washed by this whole John McCain/Sarah Palin issue.
Daddy Yankee can't even vote so that is loco of him to be making any comments in the first place!
My question is to him is what has Senator McCain even say about us that Latinos in general should be all crazy about?!
Does he even know who you are?!Does he even know who WE are?!
My impression I get from Daddy Yankee is,It's okay to dance around and make music with Black Rappers,but for a Black Man to be president, now we have a problem!
As a person of color who is Dominican/African-American and proud,I find this disgusting !!!
Fat joe is the Man!!! Not only has he clearly studied Mr.Obama,I think he gets it that we need a change.
Barack knows how it is to come from another country have a different sounding last name,be poor,and try to make it at the same time.
Fat Joe if you get to read this, Thank You so much for representing the truth and making mad hits ALL ACROSS THE U.S.A. AND NOT JUST SOME OF IT!!!
Daddy Yankee is Stankee!!!
Who's your Daddy?
Not you!

I apologize for all the errors, so here is a edited version... by the way..... FAT JOE....YOU GO BOY !!!!
'Daddy Yankee, I am so disappointed in you, I am in disbelief that you would act so childish and admire Mccains ideas and support him when he A) does not know who you are or what your music is, he didnt even know what the hell you were saying when you endorsed him and didnt care what you were saying and B) he only wants to look out for the rich and tax the poor and the middle class... did you forget where you came from???? Didn't you come from a poor environment and family the way all of us latinos did? Yes you and alot of us latinos may be somebody now, but where did our roots come from? As a Puerto Rican I am so ashamed and have had to succumb your betrayal to the Hispanic community in South Florida which is where I reside. I honestly believed in you and was very proud of you; but now, I am ashamed of you and your beliefs, if you support or feel like you want to support Mccain to promote yourself and your career, well guess what... you failed and made alot of people MAD and not want to listen to your music or even like you...yeah you were hot but if you think your all that, I am sorry to bust your bubble because there are alot of other newer reggeatoneros like Wisin y Yandel, Rakim y Ken Y, Don Omar, Zion y Lennox,Tito el Bambino, Hector el father, etc... that can and are out doing you, so if you think that young people will love you forever, then baby you better think again. I will rally and make it a point to let all your teenage young childish fans know that you are so fake and you have betrayed all the people that truly respected you.
Your no longer fan,
Yolanda V
