Back to Post-Millennial Political Songs
"My President" Young Jeezy ft Nas 2008

The most celebratory song on this list comes courtesy of New York rapper Young Jeezy whose uber-capitalist aesthetic generally embodies conservative core values (except for the whole drug-dealing thing). Even here he takes time to boast that as well as his president being black, his Lamborghini is blue. Obama's victory is a triumph, even for trap-rappers, but Jeezy and Nas, his partner-in-rhyme here, do remind us that one big battle doesn't win the war as they also rhyme about issues like poverty, crime and broken homes that will continue impacting the black community despite Barack's new job.
