Jay-Z - "History" [Live @ Neighborhood Ball]

Hova performs "History" for the first time for a few million viewers on the most historically significant day of our lives. No pressure. I'm still in shock/awe/disbelief/ecstasy/peace over the inauguration of Barack Obama.

[NEW] Jay-Z - "My President Is Black" (Remix)

This needs no introduction. In fact, I don't even feel like typing anymore than this current sentence, so just stop reading and listen to jay-Z rap about Obama. That's a winning combination.

[NEW] Jay-Z - "History"

Jay-Z's song dedicated to Barack Obama and that historic night of Nov 4th, 2008. I'm still amazed when I think back on that glorious day.

Rumor has it that this will appear on Jigga's upcoming album, The Blueprint 3. Another rumor as it that this was produced by Kanye West. There was a radio rip of this floating around but this the CD quality dirty version. I didn't feel like posting that other Mickey Mouse version. I always hold out for the good stuff.

In Part 1, Chris takes the extremist role and Focuses on the worst case scenario on what could happen once Obama is elected. Listen carefully.
