Thom Yorke Celebrates Obama Victory With Free Track

Barack Obama wasn't just America's choice to be the next President, as the rest of the world is celebrating the victory of our new Commander-in-Chief. Radiohead's Thom Yorke was especially happy with the end of the Bush era, so to celebrate, he posted a free remix of "Harrowdown Hill," a song off his solo album The Eraser. "I humbly donate a remix of 'Harrowdown Hill' that was finished ages ago during the band webcasts," Yorke wrote. "A small reminder of the dark days of Bush's..." And to think, it was only eight years since Yorke was lobbying for that Nader guy.

“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."
