100 Miles & Runnin’

To think that Barack Obama has been the President of the United States for 12-days is overwhelming and I still smile a Kool-Aid smile everytime I hear Young Jeezy, Jay-Z and Nas’s remix for My President. Some of the lyrics are R.A.W., but they still ring true from an artistic stand point.
When one stops and thinks of the mess President Obama and Vice President Biden have inherited, the song “100 Miles & Runnin‘” by N.W.A., again, from an artistic standpoint, there’s no denying how instrumental N.W.A. was in the rap game; also their music struck a nerve within me as a youth and it still does today as an adult, comes to mind.
There’s alot of work to be done and it does seem like there’s a new bootstrapping mentality that’s becoming contagious. Shoot, I’m just happy to see people that otherwise were happy wallowing in the belly of beast feel inspired to go to school, teach their children and get a job, even if it means, pardon the phrase, “shoveling shit for a time”. It’s time to “Get Busy” like Sean Paul and get to steppin’!
