Young Jeezy - My President Is Black ft. Nas
Artist: Young Jeezy
Featuring: Nas
Producer: Tha Bizness
Album: The Recession
Label: CTE/Def Jam/IDJMG
As he has done every Tuesday for the past few weeks, Young Jeezy premiered (via his website) a brand new track that will be included on the September 2 release of The Recession. Looking back at all the mistakes the Bush administration has made and ahead at the forthcoming presidential election, Jeezy is confident that come January 20, 2009, the words ‘My President Is Black’ will be reality. Def Jam labelmate Nas (who is equally excited by the prospect of a Black President) joins the movement and speaks his mind over an epic instrumental from producers, Tha Bizness. My President Is Black is currently set as the last track on The Recession. Now that’s going out with a bang!
This song first appeared on the
Rap Chart
on August 25, 2008

Another hot album. Yo this new Jeezy album is shaping up to be pure heat. Nas comes ill on this song too, I knew a Jeezy/Nas collabo would be nothing but heatrocks. I think Jeezy's moving in the right direction.

Jeezy has really amped his subject matter up. This production is real smooth by "The Bizness" and Jeezy sounds real sincere on here. Both verses was straight fire and that hook was the realest ish I've ever heard from Jeezy. I might go as far to say this is the best Jeezy song I've heard ever. Nas' quick flow at the beginning of his verse was ill. I will say this though...I hope people are voting for Obama for the right reasons, not just because he's finna be the black savior or something, but because he's the right man for the job, black or white. Keep it true baby!

If you dont rate this a 5 people sumthing gotta be wrong. This beat is crazy hot and Jeezy's chorus is original and solid. Nas is fire and so is Jeezy. I cant wait for one more of these next tuesday. This is really one of the hottest songs I've heard in the last year in hip-hop because Jeezy is lyrically a beast on this track. 5 stars all the way!!! Keep it up Jeezy

Between Jeezy and Game, I feel good about the future of our music. Just with these two artist who are not necessarily conscious rappers making great music. This song is fantastic. Hook good. Production good, NAS simply the best, and Jeezy speaking the truth.

Very hot song. I gotta ask the same question as michaelhannah, a major part of me thinks that these people are pushing for Obama just because he's black. I don't like feeling that way, but I cant help it. Who knows? Great production and Nas tears it up.

Although I liked Nas' Black President better, this is very American. I think that Jeezy is copying off of Nas by making this his last song on his new album, but if it works like it did for Nas, then I welcome it. Just make sure that you signify the change that is coming with the new election. Obama For Pres.

Two years ago I would have said that a Nas feature on a Jeezy record would have sounded out of place. That couldn't be further from the truth on this one. Very impressed. Like I said last week... this album is sick.

I'm not really sure that Jeezy is voting for Obama though, he was quoted in XXL saying he was voting for Mccain. Anybody else read that Jeezy article in XXL? |

Hot song here. Nas teared this up. Truthfully, I enjoy Jeezy but I don't think he's Top 10 (maybe in the south but not in the game); his lyrics are only slightly above average, his flow is good, and his punchlines are predictable. Don't get me wrong, I think this albums going to be hot but I'm sure we'll hear better by the time the years out. (Ludacris' Theater of the Mind comes to mind)Anyways, hot song. Not a classic.

Keep the 5's coming cuz this shyt is hot!! The crazy thing is that this probably wont be the hottest song on Jeezy's album. I cant imagine what tricks Jeezy got up his sleeve, all I know is that The Recession will be Top 5 album of this year but I aint saying #1. Dats going to far. Jeezy spit the truth on this one and he aint lyrically a monster like Nas, Lupe, or Budden , but his delivery is on point and what he says is true to what he represents. Keep this up Jeezy and I'm startin to believe in what this dude got. I dont care who he vote for dats just unnecessary and it dont really matter who vote for. Even if he vote for McCain doesnt mean the people in the black community should stop listening to his music. Neways this is classic material and I prob be listening to this joint 2 years from now and this is certified banger. I see the 5's but tell me why so much 4 stars? This can be played in the club and in the car and its certified g shyt. Nas and Jeezy collabo at first glance wouldnt seem like a good mix but I gotta admit they straight hammered the nail on dis one. Classic!!!

WOW:), that's a very intelligent thing you said. It does not matter the color of our president. It only matters if he does a good job..point blank. I cosign that statement. Oh, and XuUP17NC, I am definitely excited as well. I didn't think I'd have any albums to look forward this to this year (last year I had Common's "Finding Forever", Kanye's "Graduation" and Lupe's "The Cool). But I'm excited again for Game's new album, T.I's "Paper Trail and Common's new "Invicible Summer" album. I also heard that he's dropping another classic Common album called "The Believer" in 2008 with productions from Kanye West and No I.D

I guess you rated this as a classic mainly coz of the lyrics...because if it isn't for this reason I don't understand. The production is good but kinda repetitive! I'll look for the lyrics, altough I don't like political songs
