My President: Young Jeezy & Nas (Warning, Link Contains Explicit Content)

This Song is talking about Obama becoming president and how he thinks it will change the world for black people. Song came out about 2008 so not new but can still be brought up in conversation very easily today. He is talking strongly about change that this new president will bring because he is black. The songs rap which is still around today but not as popular as before now as it is changing over to Hip Hop, but they kind of connect to each other in a way just rap is at a speeded pace of talking/singing. Young Jeezy is really determined that Obama will change the life of black thugs. Such as keeping them doing good normal activities rather than “bad” ways of acting and ending up in jail and coming right back around to not being able to vote for president. The normal thought or Ideology around is someone hanging around in the ghetto dressed all thuggish like is a thug that may be selling drugs and getting into trouble and such as you would see represented on T.V. or Video Games act. He almost portrays this image in the song but how Obama will seem to make it ok in the media today and not be as controversial about the black thug look and rap that’s around. He seems to be building up on his idea in a negative way about how the thug ghetto life sucks but he also refers to the normal life of everyone else and how some people still have money problems. "“Woke Up This Morning Headache THIS BIG! Pay All These Damn Bills Feed All These Damn Kids. Buy All These School Shoes Buy All These School Clothes”"

This Song is about young jeezy singing about how Obama becomes president. Also how Obama won fairly and he bags on Bush some and about how he got a cheated votes in some states. And also he talks about the hard life that the poor people seem to live. He talks about them going to prison, and bags on all the people who think they are able to speak as politicians. Who knew what came with jail, who knew what came with prison Just because you got opinions, does that make you a politician? Bush robbed all of us, would that make him a criminal? And then he cheated in Florida, would that make him a Seminole? I say and I quote, "We need a miracle"

Now Young Jeezy really believes from this song that Obama will make things change and he is hopeful for him to succeed. He shows the Dominant Ideology of the poor ghetto life seems to be black people but than he tries to show that since they can have a president being black that they truly can do more than they are portrayed as. ""My president is black, my Lambo's blue And I'll be ---- 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?"" A black person now the leader of our country saying that they are truly part of this country, and have opportunity to go from nothing to much more. They will have more oppertunies so he feels, he rejoices to his leader being black. Even though they have right Jeezy feels that even more acceptance will come.
