Our guesses to the amount (and listenability) of said commemorative tracks were pretty dead on, although Jay-Z's hadn't rolled in yet. The track's got J rapping and indirectly repping Obama's rise, finding the victory in history and the musical counterpart to his Obama's running so we all can fly speech.
