There are a growing number of great beats getting put out in support/honor/inspired by Barack Obama.
If this thing comes together the way we all hope, would it be too much trouble, could I ask, can we please, get a compilation?
I'd be most pleased with a hip-hop/rap disc, a folk disc, a contemporary disc, or a simple summation of them all if that's too difficult.
I just downloaded the Young Jeezy track "My President is Black" off his new album "The Recession," and now I'm begging for a full-on "movement record" from the constellation of hip-hop stars and performers who have been inspired by this incredible moment.
Is that too much to ask?
I know this isn't much of a diary, but we need this. This has to happen.
Right?
A short list of suggestions:
Nas, "Black President"
Jadakiss, "Why (Remix)"
6th Sense, "Ignite the People (Like Obama)"
Ti$a, "Obamaway"
Common, "The People"
will.i.am, "Yes we can" (beautiful, beautiful)
Joell Ortiz, "Letter to Obama"Video:
