Sean “P. Diddy” Combs raises the grim specter of 40 million hip-hop voters: Rap mogul P. Diddy rallies ‘hip-hop generation’ to the polls.

“You want to talk demographics like ”soccer moms“ and ”Nascar dads?’ We’re larger than them,“ he said.

”You want to talk about focused interest groups like the NRA (National Rifle Association) and AARP (American Association of Retired Persons)?

“We eat them,” said Combs, “and you see how much Bush and Kerry are sweating those groups.”

Combs said politicians ignore urban America at their own peril.

“We know we’re going to be the deciding factor in who is the next president,” he said.

“Why? Because it’s simply in the numbers — We have not voted in these numbers before.

“You know, (rap star) 50 Cent has more power than a Kerry or Bush in these communities … We’re bigger than Kerry. We’re bigger than Bush,” said Combs, who estimates there are more than 40 million hip-hop voters.

Sean’s campaign to rally the hip-hop vote is titled, “Vote or Die.” Mr. Combs has not stated whether he will personally kill those who do not vote.

But his pimp hand is strong. Ahem.
