Yo, Obama gots himself an official hip-hop mixtape that is co-presented by DJ Green Lantern and the one and only Russell Simmons.

DJ King Most has created an unofficial Obama Mix featuring plenty of classic soul, jazz and latin tracks.

I'm also suprised the official mixtape doesn't include Young Jeezy's "My President is Black".

This was a awesome experience for me. To witness the crowd and it's spirit, to hear him speak in person was one of the most exciting days in my life.

Was just trying to download this and found it had been removed from one of the sites for some sort of violation. Am trying another site. Is the song actually good? Being over 50 I am not a good judge of this you know.
