#1 On The Obama Charts

This year in Hip-Hop, Barack Obama got name-dropped more than Mary Jane and Tony Montana. Our next president inspired everyone from Nas to Jin to weigh in on the issues of the day through songs about his candidacy. Will.i.am had so much to say he had to record three Obama songs.
But which Obama tracks were hits and which were misses?
We took an informal poll here at The Source and came up with our top five Obama-inspired tracks. Pick your favorite from the list of our picks. Also, if you think we unfairly left any track of the list, (Jay-Z- “History,” anyone? “Yes We Can?”)

obama nuthuggers need 2 realize there will be no change u americans will still be obese, uneducated war mongers, half of obamas goverment will be jewish so we know where there priorities lie and its not with the american ppl, obama will be pleasing israel and zionists. SHIT I WONT B SUPRISED IF THEY KILLED HIS BLACK ASS

I’m digging Young Jeezy’s single, “my president’s black”…Im not a fan of jeezy but i like that song
Carlito
Nas started it….now it’s time to stop praising this brother until he says what he is going to do and America becomes more respected.
Carlito
^he needs to practice what he preaches
WHAT
zloc is a fuking ass
WHAT
Carlito, pls let it be known that Obama didn’t get America in the situation they’re in, so don’t expect him to save the states, BUT just support that he WILL guide them in the right path for the best.. He is only human and if they never gave that other idiot two terms, they’d not be in this situation… Now back to the topic, I’d go with NAS no doubt…
