this track been around for a second, but if you haven’t heard it…do that now. fitting for the speech tonight. produced by tha bizness.
Young Jeezy ft. Nas – My President
and this joint makes me wanna hop in the caddy for the first time in three weeks. just to bump it. produced by terry “t.a.” allen.
and since there needs to be a Don Cannon joint, where jeezy flow on some super simple soul loops from something not even that deep, but it still comes out super dope, here’s the recession’s. he almost sounds like he’s having fun.
ah…fuck it. here’s the original. who loves you? (all four of you out there.) although….9th wonder and the late greatest jay dee both flipped this break first. you’re on your own to find those.

45 years to the day since Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his “I have a dream” speech, Barack Obama has already made history. The first black man to ever accept his party’s candidacy for the President of the United States. tune in to his speech tonight. i’m gonna cry. again. for better or worse, my entire hope for a life worth living is directly tied to whether he is elected president or not. not because i think he is a super-hero. he might turn out to be not-the-best. that doesn’t matter. he actually CARES about you and me.
and something just has to change.
or at least maybe he can clean up the NBA. or give the US a fighting chance when all those international diplomacy issue disputes come down to a game of H-O-R-S-E. basically, the president of the united states needs to be able to put the rock in the fuckin hole!
this week we welcome back the one and only EXILE. you should already know his roster of production credits, but what you may not know is…this guy is first and foremost a DJ. he got down with us in january and we had to put the brakes on a 2am dance party. it hurt. maybe this friday we’ll just pull a lock-in or something.
this week will also feature the highly successful LOCAL ART CO-OP, a BEEFED UP SOUND SYSTEM, and a couple other surprises. don’t sleep.
André Romelle Young Jr., the son of hip-hop legend Dr. Dre of N.W.A, was found dead Saturday morning in his Woodland Hills bedroom, MTV News and the LA Weekly are reporting. He was 20.
An autopsy was conducted on Young’s body Monday, but a cause of death has not yet been determined, pending the results of a toxicology report, a representative for the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office told MTV News. The coroner’s rep confirmed that an Andre Romelle Young Jr. passed away Saturday, but was uncertain if he was Dre’s son; Dre’s rep confirmed that information Tuesday (August 26).
Young was discovered in his bed at around 10:30 a.m. Saturday by his mother, who attempted to rouse him, the coroner’s spokesperson said. Young was unresponsive, so she called paramedics, who responded to the scene. After their efforts to revive him failed, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to the coroner’s spokesperson, Young had spent the previous evening with friends. His mother told police that he’d returned home Saturday at around 5:30 a.m., and that she’d heard him in his bedroom. Police said they did not suspect foul play. – MTV
The pioneering producer and rapper from South Central L.A. issued a statement today through a spokesperson. “Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son Andre Young Jr. Please respect his family’s grief and privacy at this time.”

Much love and respect to the Young family in this time of tragedy. R.I.P. André.
