Leave a comment, much appreciated.

I promised you I’d make a recording of the set, and here it is. It was an absolute blast to play up on that stage, and Eve6′s performance was doubly cool. It may have just been background music for the booze, but I’m okay with that. What’s a party without some decent music? I’m not sure if you heard, but there’s another Saturday coming up. I suggest you throw a party, and then throw this on. That’s that party & bullshit. Run-time of an hour and a half.

Without further ado…

I’ve wanted to do this post for a while, and I finally have enough mp3s for it. There are tracks, mixtapes, and a DJ set from Z-Trip. This will take you days to digest, and it’s incredible. Please don’t take this as some lame political statement – I’ll be voting for Obama but that’s not why I’m posting these. I’m posting these because there’s some great music in here. And it’s got a theme. I do love themes.

Barack Obama – Yes We Can

Download audio file (yes-we-can.mp3)

This started it all, with Will.I.Am getting everyone together to sing on top of his speech.

House Music United – Yes We Can

Download audio file (yes-we-can_original-mix.mp3)

This song is the shit. The intro is probably a straight 2 minutes, but this is one of the best “come together” house tracks I’ve heard. Novelty? Sure, but how many other house tracks sample a real political speech and make it sound this good?

Nas – Black President

Download audio file (black-president-prod-by-dj-green-lantern.mp3)

Sample Tupac, sample Barack Obama, add a badass drumline and John Legend singing a hook, you wouldn’t even need Nas to make this song a banger. And yet, it gets that much better. The lyrics include the following, some pretty heavy stuff in there.

New-improved JFK on the way
It ain’t the 60′s again
Niqqas ain’t hippies again
We ain’t falling for the same traps
Standing on the balconies
Where they shot the King at
McCain got apologies
Ain’t nobody hearing that
People need honesty

Joell Ortiz – A Letter To Obama (this link will be up eventually, but it’s down now!)

This song is so full of melancholy – the way the beat starts every phrase, the way Joell can’t quite get out the lyrics fast enough like he’s got too much to say. The way it disgusts him how other rappers treat money, and the stories he has. There’s not much about this song I don’t like.

Ludacris – Politics (Obama is Here)

Download audio file (politics-obama-is-here.mp3)

Ah yes, Luda. Slamming Hillary (that b$%^! is irrelevant) and Jesse Jackson (Talking slick and apologizing for what? If you said it then you meant it – how you want it, head or gut?), he bumps Obama and disses McCain (He ”don’t belong in any chair unless he’s paralyzed”). This song hits hard and the lyrics are pretty damn funny. My favorite line though might be this one:

all you other politicians trying to hate on my man,
watch us win majority vote in every state on my man

It’s just so cocky, so proud, and I can’t wait to see it *crosses fingers* happen.

Big Boi feat. Mary J Blige – Somethin’s Gotta Give

Download audio file (sumthings-gotta-give-feat-mary-j-blige.mp3)

I can’t even begin to relate to this song, but I know I love the beat (that slap bass) and I know that Big Boi’s lines are pretty damn good (If you can’t swim in the car pool? Cute) even when Mary J’s lines besides the chorus get on my nerves sometimes.

John Brown – Sarah Palin (I Wanna Lay Pipe)

Download audio file (sarah-palin_i-wanna-lay-pipe.mp3)

Listen, I’m not saying it’s good, but it’s a little funny the first few times. So he’s just a contestant on that VH1 show about white rappers, it’s a good double entendre and I’m a sucker for double entendres. Like you wouldn’t believe.

Mixtapes! Yes, there are whole mixtapes. I haven’t personally listened to either yet, but there are some hot tracks on both of them that I’ve heard.

Can I Kick It? Yes We Can

From Mick Boogie, the title alone is genius.

Yes We Can

From Green Lantern and Russell Simmons. Some really great tracks on here interspersed with vocal snippets from Obama on hip-hop, change, and the election.

Andddddd… a DJ set from DJ Z-Trip! Called “The Party for Change,” it’s an hour long message. There’s some weird shit, and there’s some incredible shit. From a legend like this, it’s definitely worth a listen.
