Jack White has finally given some insight into his James Bond theme collaboration with Alicia Keys. Discussing "Another Way to Die," the theme for the upcoming Quantum of Solace, White said "After a couple of years of wanting to collaborate with Alicia Keys, it took James Bond himself to finally make it happen. Alicia put some electric energy into her breath that cemented itself into the magnetic tape. Very inspiring to watch." White went on to say that the famed Memphis Horns, as well as some of "Nashville's finest," were also involved in the recording. "We wanted to push soul into those tapes, and join the family of Barry, Bassey, Connery and Craig," White said, referring to Bond actors and composers of the past.

“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."
