Obama raps

Submitted by Mike Waer (not verified) on 8 June 2008 - 6:53am.

My personal favorite was Jin's "Open letter to Obama."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmSAvRb7AHU

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!

We read Arthur Schwartz's New York City Food: An Opinionated History and More Than 100 Legendary Recipes Only in New York We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land, sea, and air. War with all our might and with all the strength God can give us, to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs - Victory in spite of all terrors - Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival. — Winston Churchill
