Hip Hop is BIG and even bigger in the ATL! Actually this is where you come if you want to get put ON in the music industry. Today being a historic day in history I thought it would be fitting to highlight Young Jeezy’s new video release “My President” which is homage to soon to be titled “President” Barack Obama.
This video takes us back to Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power” where the community comes together for a common cause. Other hip hop artists featured include Nas, Bow Wow, Bun B, DJ Greg Street and Jeezy's artist Roccett.
MTV, reports True to Jeezy's description, the video reminds you in part of Public Enemy's "Fight the Power," in which the whole community comes out for a common cause.
"I did the video with the 'Fight the Power' concept because I remember, back in the day, Flavor Flav and Chuck D marching down the street," Jeezy told us in December. "They had the old people, the young people, store owners, they had picket signs, everything. It was a sense of black pride, a sense of pride, period."
What is seemingly so touching in my opinion is that Jeezy shot the video at Ebenezer Baptist Church which was also the church of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. A revolution of combining history through a combination what makes a legacy.
