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.

Jay-Z To Perform at Obama's Inauguration?

Rumors are circulating that Jigga Man is in talks with Team Obama to grace the stage and bless the mic with a performance at Barack Obama's Presidential Inauguration on January 20th, 2009. Hold up. This is epic. No seriously, a rapstar performing at a Presidential Inauguration? Think about that. Did you ever think you would read a sentence like that? If this goes down, Barack Obama will officially be the coolest muthafucker on the face of the planet.

Look, I'm not the biggest jay-Z fan, but I do like his music and appreciate his next-level talent. But this goes beyond just being a fan. The simple fact that Obama would ask Hov to perform shows how in tune with the people our future president really is. He could have asked Bruce Springstein or the Rolling Stones or some other typical legendary performer, but he stays true to himself and despite the possible backlash, he rolls with Jay-Z. This would be a first for hip-hop and a first for the country, and I believe a microcosm of things to come under his tenure in the White House. Obama thinks differently and sees the big picture. He just gets it. Bottom line. This needs to happen. Yes We Can.

[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.

Down Goes McCain.

Check out this brand new shirt from UNDRCRWN celebrating Barack Obama's victory over Sen. John McCain last night. It's inspired from the legendary fight (and photo) between Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston. It's one of the most memorable photos in history and it was flipped perfectly for one of the most memorable moments in history.

Perfect.

Daily Dopeness: The World Is Yours.

"I'm out for Presidents to represent me..."

I couldn't think of a more appropriate song for today. I'm still high from yesterday. Obama truly makes me feel like anything is possible, like I can do anything. The world is in the palm of my hand. He overcame magnificent odds to make history and climb to the highest position in the country. And he did it will our help. The World is truly Ours...
