"Degenerates look better in leather," the Vaccines sing in their hit "Blow It Up." They might not be the first English band to make that discovery, but these four London lads have become the toast of the U.K. with a debut full of surf-punk guitars and ordinary-boy wit. Singer Justin Young chronicles his appalling love life ("Post-breakup sex that helps you forget your ex/What did you expect from post-breakup sex?"). Yet there's a lovably unspoiled quality to the Vaccines — in "Nørgaard," they crush on a Copenhagen fashion model ("Great Dane cheekbones/Teenage hormones") while spelling out her name, as Joey Ramone would do.

“My President”

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."
