Jay-Z - My President Is Black (DC Mix)
Artist: Jay-Z
Producer: Tha Bizness
Album: Unreleased
Label: Roc Nation/Universal Music Group
When Young Jeezy created his Best of the Booth-nominated My President Is Black record, Barack Obama had just became the Democratic Presidential nominee. Several months later, when the song was featured inside our DJBooth, Obama was still three months away from possibly becoming the 44th President of the United States. Yesterday, however, after Obama was sworn into office, the song’s title finally rang one hundred percent true. Before taking a trip to Washington to both witness history and perform at an inaugural concert, Jay-Z recorded a remix (or, as he so appropriately puts it, a “DC Mix”). At this awe-inspiring moment in US history, it’s only fitting that one of the greatest artists in the history of hip-hop pays musical tribute. For at least one day, though, the best lyricist alive is O-B-A-M-A.
This song first appeared on the

First! Its Jay-Z what else can u say. I like this way better than Jeezy's verse and he actually talked about historic events. Nice flow and love the lyrics! Classic for sure!

Its alright, would of been better if Nas's verse was still on it (or he could of made a new verse)
Obama as president is good for the world, not just America |

Obama would be proud! :p Does Obama listen to rap music?! Lol
The way he depicts the evolution (from MLK’s walk to Obama’s “run” ;), to children…) was smart and creative! The subtle change on the beat was nice and it still sounds epic! It's a shame it wasn't longer (I hope he adds more verses if people demand it)... but it was GREAT! |

what do you expect it HOVA baby, on another note it great to have a black president, its still so surreal, while i listen to his inagurational speech all i could think about was my grandparents and the other blacks who went through the struggle so we could be here to day to swear a black president into office.... this isn't just a step for black but a huge step for EQUALITY!!!... hopefully one day we won't distinguish our presidents by being black or white but by their character and actions
