Song: Nas – Black President
This song is all over the blog scene, but I felt it necessary to share on our own site for those that might miss it. This is some pretty powerful stuff from the man Nas on the possibility of Barack Obama becoming the US’ first black president. Throw in some uplifting Obama quotes and a ‘Pac sample for the hook and this track’s a winner. I know Nas isn’t always the most effective at getting his point across, but he manages to on this for the most part. Have a listen below or download here.
And if you have a link to the Green Lantern mixtape this is from, hook it up in the comments section.

Dont know much about Obama and im not getting political or anything, but its about time America stopped judging people by the colour of the skin like the REv Martin L king said I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
Big O says she voted for him not cos hes black but becos he’s brilliant ( cos u kindr have 2 wondr y she dint bac Hillary is it cos he is black and she’s white??) dont get it twisted tho .
Nas nod to this is brilliant , patriotic and genius
Lets just hope they dont assassinate another Nigger for real!
