my president is black, in fact he’s half white.. so in even in a racist mind he’s half right.. if you got a racist mind is all right.. my president is black but his house is all white
rosa park sat for martin luter to walk… martin luther walked for obama to run … obama ran so all our children can fly
hello miss america.. red white and blue flag.. wave for me baby… never thought i’d say this shit.. lady you can keep your puss.. no more bush

Jay-Z just killed this joint. I wasn’t a fan of the original, but Jay just justified it.

I agree with comment #18. The beat to this song is hot, but the lyrics are absolutely dumb. I would definitely expect this from Jeezy, but at this stage of Jay Z’s career, you always seem to expect a lil more out of him. I hate when he dumbs his music down just to rock with the in crowd. My President is Black in the same sentence as the color of your Lambo or Maybach?? Are you guys for real. Playful joint or not, still quite stupid. But what is smart about Hip Hop these days anyway?!? When you think Hip Hop, you almost expect something silly nowadays.

listen to the so called hip hop purist. This songis so dumb waaaaaaaaaaaaah (stick in the muds)
So was 911 is a joke, but it lives in folk lore. Until this very day you might hear people say 911 is a joke. Sometimes you can’t over think shit folks, hip hop is suppose to be fun. This looked like fun.
Besides you can always go sing or hum that Will Iam bullshit. lol
Hey that Nas song hero is pretty cool too.
For 6 minutes and 21 seconds we can all sing gleefully , my president is black, my lambo is blue ha ha !!

Real intelligent rap vs malapropian bullshit
Nas: Black President
“Yeah, but on the positive side
I think Obama provides hope, and challenges minds
of all races and colors to erase the hate
and try to LOVE one another; so many political snakes
We in need of a break, I’m thinkin I can TRUST this brotha
…but will he keep it way real?
Every innocent nigga in jail, gets out on appeal
When he wins, will he really care still?
I feel…”
Jeezy: My President is Black
“Yeah, our history, black history, no president ever did shit for me
Had to hit the streets, had to flip some keys so a nigga won’t go broke
Then they put us in jail, now a nigga can’t go vote
So I spend doe, all these hoes is trippin
She a ain’t a politician, honey’s a polotician
My president is black, rolls golden charms
Twenty-two inch rims like Hulk Hogan’s arms”

the whole ish / notable quote indeed
My President is Black my Maybach too
And I’ll be Goddamn if my diamonds ain’t ain’t blue
My money’s dark green and my Porsche is light grey
And I’m headed for D.C. anybody feel me
My President is Black in fact he’s half white
So even in a racist mind he’s half right
Even in these racist times we alright
My President is Black but his house is all white
Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther can walk
Martin Luther walked so Barack Obama can run
Barack Obama ran so all the children can fly
So I’m a spread my wings you can meet me in the sky
I already got my own clothes already got my own shoes
I was hot before Barack imagine what I’m gonna do
Hello Miss America, hey pretty lady
Red white & blue flag wave me for me baby
Never thought I’d say this shit, baby I’m good
You can keep your puss I don’t no more Bush
No more wars nor more Iraq
No more white lies my President’s Black.” – Jigga

um ok , so are you really a lyricist if you can’t go one song without mentioning, cars, hoes, money, clothes, etc. do you know how many words there are that you could choose from. “my president is black”…. had potential to be a great song, but some how they managed to turn it into every other b.s. song out there……. sad

I said I woke up this morning, headache this big/Pay all these damn bills, feed all these damn kids/Buy all these school shoes, buy all these school clothes/For some strange reason my son addicted to Polos……YEAH SON! LOL!
Let Hov and Jeezy have some fun already, they helped the man get elected, so in the words of Dave Chappelle “IT’S A CELEBRATION B!tC&S!!!
Oh yeah I’m a spread my wings you can meet me in the skyyyyyyyyy

Hey 23 -
Nas says:
“She a ain’t a politician, honey’s a POLE-A-TICIAN
My president is black, ROSE GOLD the charms
Twenty-two inch rims like Hulk Hogan’s arms”
What’s rolls golden charms? A cereal?
And another thing that bothers me; (besides the majority of both Jeezy’s asinine verses;)everyone knows the Hulkster’s pythons were 24″, not 22″.
Either way Nas verse blows Jeezy’s away, but it’s too be expected, he nearly ruins the whole joint by threatening to e-mail Jesus, etc. Still though, it’s oddly uplifting and maybe I’m giving Jeezy too much credit, but he seems like he kept the base materialism in there to make it relevant to today’s listener (little kid.)

Yo, I’m just so sick of Miss Info, on some real sh*t if I ever met her I would spit in her face. Listen Star and Buckwild started that hating sh*t, stop riding their d*ck. That’s the whole f*cking point, it’s hip-hop, since when were 2 different things like politics and cars ever not put in the same sentence? What the f*ck are we in school? You on the low racist b*tch. I left a couple of messages for you too on the voice mail when I heard the sh*t about Michael Phelps, who the F*CK cares who he wants to date?! The man made history and you want to try to bring him down for YOUR benefit? Sigh to that sh*t b*tch. You mad cuz it wasn”t YOUR Asian Azz. “Asian” that’s right, it ain’t racial just that IS what you are and what you’re hating on. I bet you won’t post this and the only reason I even went to your site was to hear the track…that’s funny because if you think about it, you want people to visit your bullsh*t so you definitely made sure you put this Hov on your page, lol. I got Asian and white friends like you where it seems like the whole excitement of Obama is just urkin them. Its sad though, cuz I bet the real Asians over in Asia are beyond happy. You DUMB ignorant b*tch.

lol @ 20. Hip Hip is horrible these days. The bar is so low everything is just laughable. The fact that Jeezy even has a career is brilliant.
The song appeals to it’s target audience. Both versions. It doesn’t really need to be profound lol

Jay-Z and Nas are the only ones who spit lyrics with some substance on this track

I co-sign 32! The song was catchy. Good beat Hov killed it. Murder it…just all around did his thing. And for all those who think the song is just an abomination because of what Jezzy is saying, take this into consideration. Jeezy is a multi-platinum artist from mixtapes, albums, and ringtone sales. How many new voters do you think he got with this song alone! Ponder that before passing judgment. Many hustlers, ex cons, and kids got involved with this election due to hip-hop music (not crediting Jeezy for the whole thing, but he did play a part). Do we judge Oprah for her role in the election? Using her platform to appeal to her demographic? And I am sure there are many views that Oprah have that we don’t agree with! Why is Oprah held to a higher standard, she just another chick from the hood, just like Jeezy a dude from the hood.

Did Jay Z Jeezy and all of you thinking this is soooo cool miss Obama’s message about bringing this country together??? This makes black people look low class. This is sad that you consider disrespect of a former president entertainment. I’m sure if someone sang a racist song about Obama people would have a fit. Oh but wait he is half white…maybe it would be ok to slam him.
