Now I am going to tell President Obama the same words my mother said to me…”Don’t do nothing to embarrass this family.”

Love this song! Jeezy and Nas killed it.

Sorry but I don’t feel like watching this at the moment.

IF YOU WILL, PRAY FOR MY BESTEST. SHE’S IN CRITICAL CONDITION AND THE

DOCTORS HAVE GIVEN UP ON HER. BUT I KNOW SOMEONE WHO NEVER GIVES UP AND NEVER FAILS.

PLEASE SAY A LITTLE PRAYER AND ASK FOR ALL IMPURITIES BE REMOVED FROM HER BODY.

THANK YOU.

I like the video, it shows everybody is really proud of Obama right now!

I love it! Really cause the God Mc Nas is on it! to #9, you and your friend are in my prayers! Big up to BaRACK!

Oh please, everyone is trying to make a buck off of the president’s back. who gives a damn about the color of his car and all money is green. Get out and do something for your commmunity posers!

thankyou number 12 i was just about to say the exact same thing

why does he have to mention his damn car, or shoes or freakin money.

i hope people will smarten up this year.

I wish it didn’t have soo much cussing in it, but I like the message he’s trying to give out.

This is one of my favorite songs, Jeezy is such a great artist. Congrats to my new Black President Barack Obama..Yes Sirrrrrrrr

@ 12 BEFORE YOU ASSUME WHAT SOMEONE IS OR ISN’T DOING IN THE COMMUNITY, PLEASE LOOK IT UP FIRST.

Do you guys know that Jeezy was one of th efirst people to call it, he’s was saying Obama was gonna win since the begining of the year last year..

I love this song.

Jeezy was very bold to record this song before the election was over, but you know what they say, all things work together for the greater good.

I wasn’t really feeling Jeezy when he first came out with all the Snowman antics and whatnot, but I do think he’s come a long way.

I wish the video had included more footage of Obama and all the supporters who worked so hard for him. I love Nas!

#12…amen! though i like the overall message behind the song, it is still very gimmicky. NAS kills though!

TUES jan 20th can’t come any soonerrrr

oh please #12.
young jeezy makes huge contributions to his community all the time.
so check your info next time.

he was real brave to make this song and it ended up workin outt.
the video: i looove. its soo good.
they made sure to put all kinds of people in it and not just blacks.
nas’ verse is my favorite.

good job jeezy & nas.

I loved the video! Can’t wait until Obama is sworn in!!

I loved this song ever since Jeezys album dropped..

Congrats to Gabe who directed to the video!

why is he bringing so much videos out?

“obama for mankind!we ready for damn change,so ya’ll let the MAN SHINE!”
i really like this song and video…

i knew somebody would be negative,if you already had your thoughts on this,why watch it?people just love freakin attention i tell ya!rappers brag about their material things,GET OVER IT!its been like that for years,stop acting like jeezy is the first to do it…..

I am cautiously optimistic about Obama’s presidency, but I sort of think that all of this media hype is trivializing it. Obama may be the president-elect, but we can’t forget that half of the country did not vote for him and a portion of that half is extremely resistant to his leadership. The Secret Service has never been so strong before and this man is in more danger than any prez before him. I think releasing pompous, braggadocious songs does not really serve his mission and may make him more of a target to the people that don’t want him there anyway. I think we should just be cool, no bragging, just be cool. Let the man do his job. Also, I think people have an unreal expectation of what he can do and are expecting a miracle; like he can personally lift up the ghetto. C’mon, many of these systems have been in place for decades and what ails our communities in particular and the country in it’s entirely will not be cured in a few months or in a four-year term. With all this attention, I get the feeling that this is the hailing right before the nailing. Expectations are too high and we need to be realistic or we’re going to be crucifying Obama in no time.

I love it Nas killed his verse.

OMG…why this video almost made me cry!!

I still cant believe it!

I cant WAIT for Tuesday. Thsese white folks @ my job are going to be soo mad when I were my Barack T-shirt!!

THIS SONG IS GONNA BLOW UP!
I CAN FEEL IT.

#27, Junk, I have to agree with most of the things you said. There are alot of people out there thats is watching his every move and as soon as he makes the SMALLEST mistake, the media will blow it way out of porportion. I don’t believe he’s going to do miracles, and the ghetto will still be the ghetto. Its up to the people to use him as an example and do something better with your life.

Overall though, I am glad to see such an intelligent black man in the highest office in America. I am very proud. And it was so nice to see all of the elderly people witness a part of history like this.

I don’t like the Jeezy album, but I do like this song and video.

2009 STARTING OFF ON THE RIGHT FOOT!!!!!

#12, please shut up. Jeezy is known to do MUCH in his community. It’s nothing wrong with a celebratory song. I loved this song on his cd before Obama was even elected. It was rightfully so he released a video now. This is an anthem & I love it!

You get off CL & go do something meaningful for your community!

Nas.
I love you.

Im so dissapointed in this song. I have respect for Nas but this song was ignorant. Why do black people always have to throw in their material possessions in order to get a point across? Its as if black people can’t comprehend anything unless its material, flashy and expensive. So what you have a blue lambo, green money and some rims…how ignorant and trivial.

Lust and greed will be the ultimate downfall of man.

Nas and Young J have some of that magic juice for sure. But Biggie was it for me. NBIG drank deep from the well. Anybody see Notorious yet? Opening this weekend. You know I’m going and bringing the crew. It will be fierce, y’all.

i just seen this clip 25 times. MY PRESIDENT IS BLACK.
It’s a good feeling man!

LOL…oh please again. tell me to shut up all day long (not that I will) but you are idiots. WTF is he doing for you? You like to watch him hold his d* and talk about his blue lab while you’ ride the damn bus. All that thuggish mess. Get of his jock and do something positive for yourself and your community. No, I don’t like the song. Nor am I aware of the great things he does for the community because it’s over shadowed about the other bs I hear. Like the next female he’s cheating on and disrespecting. Give me a break…I don’t hero worship and if I did I’ll get a better role model.

I like the video but I wish there was a radio friendly version of it for the kids. I also wish he would have left out what his car, rims and money look like but can’t really knock Jeezy, he stay helping his community. I see him doing more than any other rapper and he gets my respect all day, every day.

I absolutely loved the video, just to see all the people together and see all the types of people and races. It wasn’t just black people which destroys all the stupid rumors people still try to say to this day.

The song itself, the only part I liked was “my president is black” because there were a lot of trivial things that makes the song lose its depth. The rims, money, curses, and n***** words made me hate the chorus and part of the song. The song could have been better without all that stuff in it.

I loved this video brought tears to my eyes i wish Tupac was here and all the fallen soldiers in the video, even if Obama dont pull it off it show a subliminal message that if you put your mind to anything you can acheive it which cant be bad for our youths

yes..im glad somebody else said jeezy had the best rap album of 08. Weezy joint rocked 4awhile and so did t.i’s but the recession was the best hands down..Im still listenin to it..u didnt have to skip one song. He is my favorite rapper out right now!!!

@38 You earlier said Jeezy should get out and do something for the community, now you back tracking saying he does but its over shadowed by his females, what b/s so one day he feeding Africa the next hes dumped Keyshia cole, so freaking what, hows your personally life doing….Jeezy all day

LOVE iT !

This some ignorant shit right here. Why doesn’t Jeezy just go away? This does nothing to honor Obama and the song sucks donkey balls, anyway. I couldn’t even listen to the whole thing.

@HB, that was not me that said he needed to get out there and do more for the community, that was #12. You might want to go back and re-read it. Thanks

Soooooo f——n’ proud of Jeezy! Get it boy! And Nas-Always been da s–t! Love this guys!

Do you people even listen to the lyrics to the music:

My president is black, my Lambo’s blue
And I’ll be goddamned if my rims ain’t too
My momma ain’t at home, and daddy’s still in jail
Tryna make a plate, anybody seen the scale?
My president is black, my Lambo’s blue
And I’ll be goddamned if my rims ain’t too
My money’s light green and my Jordans light grey
And they love to see white, now how much you tryna pay?
Let’s go!

Are you kidding? This chorus alone is a revelation of what should be expected at the end of Obama’s tenure as president.

THIS SOO BORING!! POST IS BORING!

I always loved this song

I wonder what Frat that was in the video? I saw a lil blue i was thinkin maybe Sigmas??

@46 or (45 on your pc). sorry, one of my previous messages says awaiting moderation so on my pc the post count has one extra on my screen as concreteloop haven’t ok’d the message yet but i can still see it if that makes sence.

JANUARY 20TH, 2009…!!! A HISTORIC DAY..!
i WISH MY GRANNY WAS HERE TO WITNESS THIS JOYOUS DAY…

@So What

Thank you, lmao. This was a slave jingle if I’ve ever heard one. I love the motorcycle gang skinheads at the end of the video with the “My President is Black” T-Shirts on, smh. This whole Obama thing looks like one of the greatest hoaxes ever perpetrated.

@ HB, I feel you….. Thanks for the correction.

funny I never heard of this before til now and i was rockin to it, bout to be on my ipod. - thats wassup

My President Black, and am black too hahaha we laughing at you haters. lol

@Junk

No one is going to kill Obama. People will let him fail on his on. I didnt vote for him but I do want him to do well because we dont need another Clinton. OBAMA please leave taxes alone. He is going to have to do a little more than take pictures, and requesting the 350 without accounting for the last was a big Mistake.

What in the hell dose rims have to to do with the president being black. This is more proof that nothing has really changed. Like I said I and my family have been fine the last eight years. What I think is funny is the fact that CA and Florida are two of the biggest tourist state with state taxes and barely have enough money to pay out tax returns and are begging for bailouts, mean while Texas is making up stuff to do with the surplus we have been carrying since 98. CA and Florida Obama, Texas McCain. Good thing we can vote for our own Local leaders. Rick Perry 2010

Everyone knows this song was recorded WAAAY before the election. I’ve been jammin to this for a minute (ringtone and all).

And my babe Nas killed it as usual

I’m losing respect for Nas rapidly.

Using the word “nigga” in a pro Obama song is against your best interests. Obama’s presidency represents unity, change and hope.

As sappy as will.i.am’s video/song for ‘yes we can’ I find that far more watchable than this mess.

@27…..preach!!!!

Jeezy is that necca!

That was really very inspirational!!

Personally I dont like the song. Im extemely proud and happy for Obama but Jeezy’s lyrics are appalling. If he’s gonna write a song about the president, he should at least have removed the curse words and the boasting about his own personal wealth.

Regarding the ongoing debate above ^ this is a gossip blog and people are entitle to their opinion. There is no need to jump down someones thraots because they don’t agree with you or don’t like a certain song. It is possible to disagree wih someone withot having a virtual dispute-some people need to grow up.

What an amazing video and song. When I was done watching it I just took a deep breath and smiled. I feel so proud to be African American right now, not that I’m not everyday but I am just so filled w/ pride and happiness. I really want to know where I can purchase one of those T-shirts too. I go to a predominately caucausian university and unfortunately I will be in class during the inaguaration. I wish they would cancel classes for such a historic event but unfortunately they are not. I really am truly happy and I’m so glad that Jeezy and Nas got together to make this anthem.

47.

sowhat_12345678,

Wow I had no idea about some of the things in the chorus. Thank you. What a silly song after all. I guess “my president is black” was just to get people’s attention. Pure ignorance and deceit. If he’s such a great lyricist why not spend a song dedicated to the new president talking about what he overcame and where he came from? Or perhaps talk about his qualities and credentials? This is pure ignorance. I guess I missed half of what he said because it was being blanked out by the curses. SMH

I wonder who was that stepping???

I LOVE JEEZY. When i bought the album and listened to it I was hoping he would come out with this song but didnt know… Glad he did. I LOVE THIS SONG AND IM STILL BUMPIN THAT CD ERRRDAY!!!

I honestly think the song is just ok Nas part was the best part, Jezzy verses are all over the place. Him talking about cars and money and hustling throught it off for. Nas is a great thinker, I would love to hear him by hiself doing this song or one similar.

Beautiful inspiring vid!

@ 55, JA:

I’ve read about how protecting him is much more difficult for any president proceeding him and that a lot of precautionary measures have had to be taken to protect him and his family. During the campaign, a lot of efforts had to be put in place and a lot of stops re-routed and cancelled altogether for safety concerns. However, you may be right, if the worse that happened to Bush, despite all of the global damage he helped to cause, was a shoe thrown at his head…then Obama will be just fine. In any case, I think you and your families are rarities in the sense that economically you have been unaffected by this economic downturn. Most people have admitted (a study just came out) that they are struggling. It tends to hit the poor/lower-income first and the hardest. However, the economic issues of the poor tend to be a litmus test for what will take place for everyone - both middle and upper-class - eventually. I feel that with this recession, everyone is taking a loss in one way or another. I do agree with you that Bush is not solely responsible for the economic downturn (although he certainly made it no better), Clinton actually played a strong part in it, but that’s usually ignored. I also don’t see the link you’re trying to make between the tax situation in CA and FL to that of Texas. I don’t think it matters which direction the states leaned politically (Obama or McCain) - remember CA has been a Democratic state for a long time - even before this economic crisis when their economy was flourishing. A more reasonable argument would be the likely misuse and misappropriation of state funds by state officials.

That said, I think we need to let Obama’s efforts speak for themselves and keep our expectations reasonable.

…and stop writing dumb-ass songs about rims and damn tennis shoes. I can’t abide a grown ass man who’s obsessed with the same things as a young boy: cars, gym shoes and impressing their friends. Jeezy’s a grown man, if he wants to really affect the community in a positive way, start talking about how to be financially stable (i.e. not living above your means, investing, IRAs, etc). I guarantee it’ll be the most boring song that was ever written but at least people will learn something they can really use.

this song is ii i think that there should be more of nas then jezzy becuz he sounds better.. i just dont lik his voice.. thats all and i love nas hes the best wat better the jay-z.. this song could have ben better.. and wats up w/ all jezzy’s vidoes him and every one else waring black lik come on o noe this song is called BLACK president but wat about his other songss i think that the video was harrabiel

MUST READ……………

i agree if people ACTUALLY LISTEN CAREFULLY to the lyrics and not just bop their heads to the catchy tune and ‘my president is black’ line. then they would see that this pro obama song is smothered with boasting, greed, and enforcing negative sterotypes of black ppl ( dad’s in jail). the swearing and ‘nigga’ word could have been omitted. New year, same things are still happening

obama is almost destined to fail everyone is expecting so much out of him as earlier, even HE said that things are going to take a long time to improve. people need to see him as the human he is and be realistic about what he can achieve given the cards he has been dealt with, than put him on an pedestal that continues to rise.

this isn’t in any way trying to take away what he has achieved and what he may be possible of achieving

everyone is entitled to their opinion, don’t crucify just because some decides not to join the choir.

umm…my bad yaw but THIS SONG IS ABSOLUTELY FUCCIN GARBAGE!!!!

ppl on here really biggin up this song like its on some ‘greatest of all time” shit….when in all honesty its got a lame ass beat and lame ass lyrics….

then again, i’d never expect sheep to be even remotely intelligent enough to be critical

MY PRESIDENT IS BLACK….OMG I STILL CANT BELIEVE IT!! LORD PLEASE WATCH OVER HIM AND HIS FAMILY!!!

Young Jeezy sucks, why the fugg did he feel the need to still to take a song that was supposed to be about something positive and throw in his nucca nonsense to include cars and rims. Chuck D didn’t say fight the power courtesy of BMW!
Come on is Outkast the only southern rappers with any kind of sense?
Having a black president will mean nothing if we continue to see nucca nonsense behavior in our community as normal. I hope 2009 signals the end to the hip hop minstrel show that has been going on far too long

I’m happy alot of people are proud of the achievement of OBAMA.
But I feel that we shouldn’t over-state this presidency.

We should be reminded that obama didn’t run for African Americans alone, but as he stated, he ran to change Americans problems and resolve it w/ intelligent and efficient solutions.

I am proud of his achievement, and I’m proud how he was able to unite us, blacks whites, Asians, Hispanics together and believe he was the man for the job.

We can celebrate, I really think as Americans, we should be proud of this accomplishment, after what this country has overcame.

However we shouldn’t over-state it.
because we didn’t do it alone.

PS: as NAS said in this song

“For whatever fee or publicity, never lose your integrity”

Am watching this video and CRYING my eyes out!!! OBAMA DID ME PROUD NOVEMBER 4TH 2008.
Am African, and although I don’t have much ties with the USA, I am sooooo excited for Obama because the black in him in AFRICAN!!!!

IT WILL TAKE A STUPID PEOPLE LIKE #12 AND #13 TO SAY SOMETHING NEGATIVE ABOUT THERE OUR. CRAB IN A BUCKET NI@#AS!!!

ANYWAYS LOOOVVVEEE DA SONG, LOOOVVVEE JEEZY AND NAS!!!!

The lyrics says you motivate me everyone wakes up at different levels, my president is black is enough does that mean jeezy shoud all off a sudden should become politically educated overnight, i never thought i would see a black president in u,s,a in my lifetime but since then have become more increasingly involved in politics i too like jeezy am learning nas has been historically lyrically involved for a while, you could tell with his lyrics the visual concept of the video was beautiful as jeeezy said look out part 2

I love his voice and I don’t know Y?1 lol- jezzy’s

people were singing this at my university when it was announced that obama would be president. i don’t understand the song. it’s great that jeezy is acknoledging obama would be president even way before he was elected, however inserting all the lines about materialism just ruins it for me.

my president is black.
my lambo’s blue.

what does a lambo have to do with anything. just more materialism. aren’t we in a recession? it’s like we’re going back two steps.

are they planning on selling the “My president is black” hoodies?
‘cuz they are DOPE!
