Nas - Black President

As written in these pages only days ago, Nas's new album is going to be somewhat incendiary (even though the controversial title has now been dropped). This track, as its title espouses, asks the question 'are blacks ready for one of their own to become president?'.
Against DJ Green Lanterns thumping uptempo beat (reminiscent of the kind of tracks Tupac used for his raging sermons), Nas answers the question for his people and gives his reasons. "John McCain offers apologies, we ain't havin that, we want honesty". You want honesty? I wish more hip-hop wasthis engaging and topical.
