Arguably the harshest rebuke of the Obama administration from within the hip hop community, “Obama Nation Part II” takes some pretty surprising shots Obama, including M1’s claim that he’s “a master of disguise, expert at telling lies.” British grime artist Black the Ripper’s argument–“He’s sittin’ in the White House, so who cares if he’s black”–has been articulated before by groups like deap prez and Immortal Technique, suggesting that anyone occupying the American presidency is a tool for larger white interests. But this song takes things further, asserting that Obama himself is a more-than-willing participant in the epic trick being pulled on America. Some tough stuff here.
A nod to Travis Gosa, who brought this one to my attention.
