Young Jeezy: Professional Rapper or Dr. Suess??? You Decide...


So as we all know, Matt and I don't talk as much as we had previously before I moved back in with the parents, and he moved out with Jami, therefore, my updates for new rap songs, rap artists, etc has severely declined. Therefore, I decided to go online to bet.com (trust me, different experience!) So as I'm going down the "vote for your favorite new song/video" downloading all of the new songs, I notice that Young Jeezy has a new song released called "My President Is Black..." So humored by this, I decide to give Limewire a run for the money, so I download the song, and thus my life is changed! I found a new faith in today's black Dr. Suess!!! For those of you that don't know the song, it's set to a Presidential type rap background, and the words of the song are as follows:
Yeah, be the realest shit I never wrote
I ain't write this by the way nigga, some real shit right here nigga
This'll be the realest shit you ever quote
Let's go!
My president is black, my Lambo's blue
And I'll be goddamned if my rims ain't too
My momma ain't at home, and daddy's still in jail
Tryna make a plate, anybody seen the scale?
My president is black, my Lambo's blue
And I'll be goddamned if my rims ain't too
My money's light green and my Jordans light grey
And they love to see white, now how much you tryna pay?
Let's go!
Today was a good day, hope I have me a great night
I don't know what you fishin for but catch you a great white
Me, I see great white, heavy as killer whales
I cannot believe this, who knew it came in bails
Who knew what came with jail, who knew what came with prison
Just cause you got opinions, does that make you a politician?
Bush robbed all of us, would that make him a criminal?
And then he cheated in Florida, would that make him a seminal?
I say and I quote, "We need a miracle" And I say a miracle cause this shit is hysterical
By my nephews and nieces, I will email Jesus
Tell him forward to Moses and CC Allah Mr. Soul Survivor, guess that make me a
Konvict Be all you be, now don't that sound like some dumb shit
When you die over crude oil as black as my nigga
Boo It's really a Desert Storm, that's word to my nigga
Clue Catch me in Las Vegas, A.R. Arizona
Rep for them real niggas,
I'm winnin in California
Winnin in Tennessee, hands down Atlanta
Landslide Alabama, on my way to Sevana
I said I woke up this morning, headache this big
Pay all these damn bills, feed all these damn kids
Buy all these school shoes, buy all these school clothes
For some strange reason my son addicted to Polos
Love me some spinach dip,
I'm addicted to Houston's
And if the numbers is right
I take a trip out to Houston
An earthquake out in China, a hurricane in New Orleans
Street Dreams Tour, I showed my ass in New Orleans
Did it for Soulja Slim, brought out B.G.
It's all love Bun, I'm forgivin you Pimp C
You know how the Pimp be, that nigga gon' speak his mind
If he could speak down from heaven he'd tell me stay on my grind
Tell him I'm doin fine, Obama for mankind
We ready for damn change so y'all let the man shine
Stuntin on Martin Luther, feelin just like a king
Guess this is what he meant when he said that he had a dream...
That is the song directly from "lyrics.com" and let me say, after I heard this song, I have to admit that I was quite perplexed, because several times, except when he started saying "my President is black" I God honestly thought this was a random thoughts song about things that he enjoys, and doesn't enjoy... I have quite a few problems with this song, but it seems to be a HUGE hit, because of the whole Obama getting voted in to office crap... But I have to admit, it's catchy, and it's great in many ways, but my favorite is, that Young Jeezy makes me feel like I can rap. He's like the guy from my reading/writing class that made it (somehow) and now I feel like I have a fighting shot! I mean, I can put words together that make no sense, and just make it rhyme! Piece of cake! Like Josh and Drake! See! Simple! Dimple! Look at me, I'm a regular rap star! In fact, I'm so convinced, that I'm going to write a rap real quick, about Bush! And let's begin!
Random thoughts I thought I'd write...
My President is white,
My civic's have always been red,
I'm surprised with my driving record,
that I ain't dead...
My dad's always home,
because that's where he works,
My mom hates Lakota,
because they're all jerks...
Easy mac has to be eaten by the two's,
add some ham chunks you won't know what to do!
wake up late for work everyday,
Don's horses are lazy and only eat hay...
drink beer at McCaulys all summer,
looked out the window and just saw an H2 Hummer!
My President is white,
My civic's have always been red,
I'm surprised with my driving record,
that I ain't dead...
Never had kids,
I'm 25 and unmarried,
been drunk at Brazenhead,
and almost all the time,
I have to be carried!
My best friend is Rick,
I shave with a Bic,
I don't know Soldier Slim,
But I would like a Slim Jim!
Columbus to Cincinnati,
Cleveland to D.C.,
Places I've been,
not places I ever want to see...
I mean come on, that's the hot new jam, all I need is a rap name, and I'm in like sin! After analyzing his song, I wanted to mention some things that I've noticed that are funny to me:
First off: "My President is black." Your President? Does Young Jeezy own the United States, and Obama just rules over Jeezy? I thought he was all of our's President? Next, wasn't the big thing that he was part white/part black? So shouldn't the song be "My President is mixed?" Wouldn't that be more of the truth? I mean, come on, let's get realistic, he's black "looking" but white "speaking!" That has to say something!
Second off: How can we go from what color the President is to what color your Lamborghini is? Shouldn't there be a transition? Something there that is supposed to captivate us to want to listen to your next statement maybe? However, the whole song is full of a lack of transitions! Where did you go to school? I bet your teachers are so embarassed, mine would be...
Third off: Did he at some point visit an aquarium or watch NatGeo or something, because where is this great white, killer whale thing coming from (besides left field)??? I mean, we're going off in so many random directions here, I don't know where to go... I'm in line at Kings Island here man, what's up???
Fourth off: If you're so frustrated with your kids, and having them, and having to feed them, just do the one simple thing that they teach you when you're younger... WRAP IT UP! Don't be a fool, wrap your tool! How many ways you want to hear it?!?! That, and don't complain about having to feed your kids when you're talking about your Lambo, there's kind of a conflict of interest there if you ask me (or anyone with a brain)...
Furthermore, I could keep this going for days, but the more I think about it, the more I just really hate the fact that this guy is rich for doing nothing more than writing a Dr. Suess book of dirty words and non-sense... It's a load of crap that this guy that's probably never done a "legal" job a day in his life is out there living it up, and I'm stuck here at work blogging, and hating my everyday life... We'll See Ya!
4 people don't listen to this song anymore now because of reading this blog...

I never would have listened to that song unless I happened to be in the car with Matt and it was something the he "accidentally" left on for more than 1 minute and 36 seconds. Now after reading the lyrics I am outraged that this dumbass makes any money at all, let alone the millions that he does.

Hoopes your rap was better, but unfortunately it made a little more sense and had words that you will actually find in the dictionary, which is a problem. I am sorry my friend, but I don't think you are going to make it.

I can only imagine who it is a "hit" with. uneducated, ignorant, criminals, degenerates, and alike. he is part of the problem. People will hear this and they will try to copy it , or quote it as fact. Young kids will take it to heart, when all this guy is doing is trying to make a quick million on the old idea of "rap."

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton I am sure are very proud.
