Jay-Z My President is black Remix LIVE 1-18-09 from pleasedontstare on Vimeo.

Okay, so maybe Jigga didn’t perform the song you were really hoping to hear at Barack’s Neighborhood Inaugural Ball, he did sport that fresh black eyewear. What you really wanted to hear was at Jeezy’s presidential block party, and here’s the video of the song live, skip to 2:30 to see Hov’s verse. “My president is black, in fact, he’s half white, so even in a racist’s mind he’s half right, so even in this racist town we all right, my president is black, but his house is all white.” Thanks to Sasha Frere-Jones for pointing me to this.
