The buzz ted at Sundance when Morgan Spurlock won the best-director prize for satirizing our fast-food obsession by eating at McDonald's for thirty days, with three doctors checking on his daily deterioration. But Spurlock's little movie that could is more than a documentary about the dangers of obesity. It's one of the blackest comedies to hit the screen since Dr. Strangelove. Spurlock proves himself a supersize talent; he makes you choke on every laugh.

    “My President”

    Young Jeezy | 2008

    Young Jeezy teams up with Nas on this track, in which he compare his own success with the idea of an African-American winning the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2008 presidential election. "When I pulled up in my car, that s--- was unbelievable to people in my neighborhood because they were like, 'We grew up with him. How the hell did he accomplish this?'" he told Rolling Stone. "I feel like it was the same way with Obama. I grew up all this time, but I've never seen a black man this close to running this country."
