"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? " I find it interesting that after mentioning Obama he uses a drug reference in the same sentence!
A rap song casually uses Obama in its chorus. This is a first for rap using a president in their songs, showing how much change is actually occuring not only economically but culturally as well.
"Obama for mankindWe ready for damn change so y'all let the man shine Stuntin on Martin Luther, feelin just like a king"
"Yeah, our history, black history, no president ever did shit for meHad to hit the streets, had to flip some keys so a n**** won't go broke"
-Young Jeezy
This is some powerful stuff for more than just hip hop, people in the ghetto have new inspiration to succeed because of Obama and a need for change. I'm sure most of you have heard the song and it's catchy eventhough I don't even like rap music.
Heres a link to the song on YouTube if you want to check it out!

Very interesting. This post might not be very long, but the author has raised very important points. I have to comment that people who come up with the political campaign ideas/slogans target certain groups/demographics of people. Therefore, the author is right not to agree with some of the stuff. For instance, not all women will go for "a thong" with an Obama inprint on it. But on the other hand, it is also good to know that there are women out there who will be glad to buy 100 of such thongs, put one of them on, take a picture of themselves in the thong, and send it to their boy friends:). That is the way it is people, "one person's shit is another person's candy." Furthermore, America is a free country and people go for what they want.
