Michelle Obama Is 1st First Lady To Release Hip Hop Album
(AllHipHop News) The Obamas are officially the most authentically Hip Hop couple to ever lead America. On September 30th, Michelle Obama’s Partnership for a Healthier America and Hip Hop Public Health will release the Hip Hop-inspired album Songs for a Healthier America.
The First Lady will not be spitting any rhymes or hitting any high notes but she has assembled a bevvy of Hip Hop and R&B artists for the album. A few of the artists include New York Knick/rapper Iman Shumpert, Doug E. Fresh, DMC and others.
The album is apart of Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move campaign which aims to fight obesity and promote fitness among kids. Let’s Move’s executive director and White House assistant chef Sam Kass explained why the album would have a Hip Hop feel:
So many kids listen to Hip Hop so why not give these messages to kids in a way that’s not preachy. I think hip hop in particular – so many kids love hip hop. It’s such a core part of our culture,” he said. “…Particularly in the African- American community and the Latino community which is being disproportionately affected by those health issues.”
Here is the tracklist for the album:
1. ‘U R What You Eat’ (Salad Bar: Matisyahu, Ariana Grande, Travis Barker)
2. ‘Everybody’ (Jordin Sparks, Doug E. Fresh, Dr Oz, Ryan Beatty, Hip Hop MD)

Derek Jeter Lists Top 5 Rappers Ever, Leaves Out Nas
(AllHipHop News) Derk Jeter is on the shortlist of greatest New York Yankees and a noted Hip Hop fan. The five time World Series champion spoke with ThisIs50 about his favorite rappers of all time.
He keeps it mostly New York but chooses one New York hip hop icon over Nas:
“That’s a tough question. You know I got to put 50 [Cent] in there,” Jeter said in an interview. “I’m in his building so I can’t get in trouble. 50. Biggie. Jay. Eminem. Michigan [guy], you see I got my Michigan shirt on. How many’s that? Diddy too. I like New York. I stick with New York.”
Nas has been a frequent representative of his hometown Mets but Jeter did not speak on if that was the reason for his omission of the lyrical titan.

DJ Green Lantern: I Have A 7 Year Old Unreleased Jay Z Mixtape
(AllHipHop News) DJ Green Lantern has worked with an innumerable amount of hip hop acts over his career and one can safely assume he has a hard drive of music rap nerds would Break Bad over. In a recent interview with NahRight for their Mixtape Memories series, The Evil Genius reveals that a mixtape with Jay Z entitled Presidential Invasion was intended to come out weeks before Kingdom Come.
The idea for the mixtape surprised everyone initially especially Green Lantern:
The Jay tape that never came out was called Presidential Invasion. This is November 2006, like three weeks before Kingdom Come comes out. I’m on the world tour with Jay in September, October, and somehow he says something to the effect of, ‘When you do my tape, the s### better be hot!’ And I looked at him like, ‘Do your tape?!?! Don’t play with me!’ So that turned in to [him saying], ‘F### it, let’s do a tape!’ And I’m like, ‘Really?! You serious?!’
Green Lantern also reveals that the epic “Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix)” originally was Jay Z freestyle that was pasted in. In addition, Green says The Roots’ John Legend-sampled “Doing It Again” was close to being a Jay Z song four years prior to its release.
The 37 year old producer/DJ’s reluctance to release the unheard music stems from a reprimand he received from Hov himself following Green’s unauthorized leak of “Jay’s Back, ASAP”:
Got a call [from Jay] the next day, like, ‘Yo listen. Just call me, just ask me. If there’s one thing I don’t like, it’s people putting my s### out without asking me. Because it’s my s###.’ So I was like, ‘You know what? I gotta respect that.’ So now everything’s locked up. I’m not touching anything.
