Nas - Black President

Contributed by DJ Z

Listen to More: Street, Mixtape, Northeast, Collaborations

With Barack Obama’s victory earlier this week, the famous lyrics of 2pac Shakur, “And though it seems heaven-sent / We ain’t ready to have a black President,” ring false for the first time ever.  Though Obama has not won anything just yet, his place in this November’s election is both monumental and historic.  Similar to Obama, veteran emcee Nas has preached change, both in the form of hip hop and in which people perceive usage of the word “n*gger.” Though his forthcoming summer release will no longer hold the controversial title, Esco has hooked up with DJ Green Lantern to release a pre-album mixtape, entitled The N*gger Tape.  The first joint to leak off the album (Yo, Lowkey) is the Lantern-produced, Black President.

Note:  The streaming of “Black President” has temporarily been suspended.

This production is real slick! I like the Pac Sample and the whole concept. NAS GETS OFF! I gotta grab this nigga's tape...LOL (Pun intended). This is way better than anything I've heard that was new from Nas lately. This gives me a new found hope for new Nas material! Word!

Love Tupac and Obama in here. The message is a great one that a lot of people need to hear. There are few better than Nas at making meaningful hip-hop that also sounds damn good. Nas and Tupac's style contrast really well in this song. I dub this one an official banger.

I hate when an amazing rapper like Nas (who’s on his lyrical rank?) doesn’t get a production on his level! And I love when he does: production is great! I’m feelin the bass, piano (reminds me of “Hip Hop saved my life”) and the percussion variations! His flow was more dynamic than usual and on point with the tempo!

Excellent song. Funny thing is, the basic beat sounds very much like Lupe Fiasco's - "Little Weapon", and the little piano melody sounds almost the same as "Hip-Hop Saved My Life". 2 of my fav songs of that particular Lupe album. Hope Nas can keep this level of quality up for the whole Album!

I didn't especially like Nas' first 2 showings, they were good but the production wasn't my style so it took away from the lyricism... But DJ Green Lantern's beat is on point, the samples are very well laid out, and Nas is just sick. I'll play this alot more, classic! and its a mixtape cut damn...

I prefer to stcik them together collectively as there to different styles of rapper Weezy from Miami got the Southern style nas from New york. And yes both albums just about showing artists at the hieghts (Carter 3 is a banger, Untitled showing signs of a classic need to listen to more) . Find it hard to compare and diss to completely hot artists at mo.
