Young Jeezy featuring Nas "My President Is Black"
Crawling epic of a beat? Check. Unsubtle dope references? Check. Anthemic hook with a slick car boast? Check, check, check. Like anything else Jeezy does, newest cut “My President Is Black” has all the necessary elements to make it a guaranteed hood rouser. But what makes this one stand out from the rest?
First off, it features a strong guest appearance from one-time beef rival, Nas. Secondly, it’s always nice to hear another rapper getting all political, even if Jeezy’s freestyled (as he stresses not once, but twice, in the opening bit) verse randomly teeter-totters from Barack championing to speaking of his love for spinach dip and his son’s odd Polo addiction. What’s most cool, and quite tender, about this track, though, is how the Snowman defiantly asserts that no matter how the votes unfold come November, in his eyes the “Rack” is already his leader of the free world. Too bad there’s less than a 1% chance that Obama would even think about adopting this for his campaign trail. Now wouldn’t that be the coolest thing ever?
