Check out Nas new song Black President. And you know Jay-Z is gonna do a freestyle over this beat or drop an Obama song himself, soon. But all that aside, this is song is only the beginning of what is expected to be an onslaught of Black President / Obama song's by artists around the nation, now that Sen. Barak Obama has rapped up the Democratic Party Nomination. And I say keep them coming, we're truly witnessing history today and hip-hop should definitely be a part of that history.
Chuck D said "Rap is black CNN", well today as we stand in the crossroads between the past and the present this is hip hop's opportunity and duty to live up to that title by documenting this historical moment in it's music, so that it may live on forever. In the same way that Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" even when you listen to it today still embodies the essence of the black experience during the 60's civil rights movement, Vietnam War and numerous assassinations. At this moment the black voice is louder than it has ever been in this country and if Barak is elected it will be prouder than ever. And wait till Barak gets elected, then (like Kanye Said) you niggas can't tell me nothing, right? Hah! Hah! (Jeezy Laugh)
Listen: Nas- Black President
