Obama's Fumble #4: Hype

Now it's time for Obama to capitalize on the hype. Will he?

So he did it. America voted as a majority to president-elect Barack Obama. The main question now is: Where do we go from here?

Nas addresses some of the question in his song, "Black President".

"What’s the black pres. thinkin’ on election night
Is it how can I protect my life?
Protect my wife?
Protect my rights?
Every other president was nothin' less than white
Except Thomas Jefferson and mixed Indian blood
and Calvin coolers
KKK is like 'what the fuck', loadin' they guns up
loadin' mine too, Ready to ride
Cause im ridin with my crew
He dies - we die too
But on a positive side,
I think Obama provides Hope - and challenges minds
Of all races and colors to erase the hate
And try and love one another, so many political snakes
We in need of a break
Im thinkin' I can trust this brotha
But will he keep it way real?
Every innocent n!gga in jail - gets out on appeal
When he wins - will he really care still?"


He has to answer that question from January 20th on, but some wish to hear him address the hype sooner. Either way, this will be an interesting 4 years.
