FRIDAY GROOVE : NAS "Black President"
One of the illest songs to come out of this campaign.
Not only is NAS remixing Barack Obama's victory speech, he's thrown the immortal Tupac.
Download it here.

Obama raps
My personal favorite was Jin's "Open letter to Obama."

Sure, the production isn't as smooth as NaS's cut, but Jin's lyrics were consistent in subject matter and rhyme. The subject matter wasn't only consistent, but insightful. NaS can't talk about one thing for longer than eight bars. His second verse was the best of the three.
By the way, I made my own Obama song.

Not that I would argue it's the best. But it is better than that Will.I.Am joint! Ha! That ish was hurtin!
