Somebody had to clean up this god awful excuse for a socially conscious song. Never understood what a Lambo gotta do with the 1st ever black President. You think MLK gave a shit about a Lamb?

To Y’all crying about that conscious sh!t pause, this is aimed at the hood, hence lick a shot for Obama concert a while back.
In the hood they relate to what Young Hov and Jigga are sayin. Owning a Lambo, or Royce when you grew up with nothing is a big deal to the hood so this joint is appropriately aimed at them coz they ain’t tryin to listen to Bono, U2 or whoever.

Jay’s remix was ok. Not sure why he felt he needed to add his own verse to the song – he’s doing too much. Actually he should have added a Obama verse on “Victory”

yeah the hook is nonsensical…but I can’t fault Jeezy much bc they’re always catchy. I just think it a bit inappropriate.

song is ok…it’s a one time listen and a flat out gimmick record because obama won…jay’s verse is the only one that had any substance in it…still his metaphores aint flowing like the old jay z…seems a bit forced to me…like kingdom come hov…

The original was hot. This verse was gasoline being poured over it.

I was blessed to witness Hov & Jeezy perform this on Monday evening. I thought the original was kinda catchy, but I couldn’t get into due to the irrelevance of some lyrics. Jay poured the glue on it to bring it all together and made it stick.
Amazing show also. Here’s a clip I recorded at the end of the show as Jay passed the bottle to some lucky audience members and performed the “Obama” version of Encore.
