Guys, guys, guys ya aren't getting what I'm talking about. I am talking about what Obama represents--a changing of the generational guard. Bill Clinton was the first baby boomer "rock" president. Obama would be the first "hip hop" president, and the first president to bring some (though not much, to be sure) authentic African American culture to the White House.

Here is a You Tube link to an interview w/Obama, where he talks about hip hop:

Now, the problem I have with Obama's "audacity of hope" regarding urban education and the "achievement gap" (which I live w/on a daily basis), is Jay Z ain't got no answers neither.

Not to mention, if we look to hip hop to save us, aren't we making that same mistake some 60s kids did, believe that rock and roll would change the world? Like that ever happened?
