For supporting Barack Obama's Presidential Campaign, poet Malik Yusef called out his mentor, the amazing MC King Mr. Kanye West, and fellow Maroon 5's frontman Adam Levine to record for the "Yes We Can" Compilation this song, "Promised Land". This spacey, uplifting, hopeful and powerful synth rap gospel is a delivered message to everybody to make things change for the better. I post this as an homage to these beloved artists' aim, to their art and their amazing collaboration, and as a testify of sharing of their vision and passion. I really believe that everybody, together and as a fair society, we have the power to change world for the better. For downloading this song in support of the cause, please go to www.barackobama.com Song is available for USA purchases only till the end of presidential campaign through iTunes and Amazon. Regardeless of its political message, the main thing here is that I consider this song amazing. I love when Kanye and Adam collaborate. They are just amazing together. With lyrics.

I just wish I could be in Washington DC starting from January 18th, instead than here in Italy ;) I know where I would love to attend: Sun 18 "A New Birth of Citizenship Inauguration Event", Mon 19 Live Earth 2009 Green Inaugural Ball, and on the 20th at the Official Vice President Home States Ball. God, I love Maroon 5. I love their green side and their political passion. they are all that I need in a band ;)
These aren't ryhmes made up in three minutes at all. Malik's a poet, Kanye's a genius, and Adam Levine is best thing on planet Earth. This song moved me in actually learning a bit more about US situation before the elections. Trust me it ain't easy to push e over books if not requested for Uni studies, but their song and their passion in this song made that. hence the song moves people. Which is what great music should help at: opening hearts and minds. If you can't see it it's your loss.
I hate that NBC don't broadcast that outside US online. In Italy we get Dave Letterman but not your version of SNL. Luckely I have seen that video online. You're right, it's hilarious. But even there, Adam in white suit... WOW. White on him is just sooooooo perfect ;) (Jake Gyllenhall playing Ahmadinejad is INCREDIBLE, too. Andy Samberg is crazy and I got that already from the crazy song he did with Justin Timberlake. LOVE all about Adam mixing with crazy creative people. He's likle that too.)
SNL puts most of their videos on their website; there's a lot of really funny Andy ones. It was actually Fred Armisen playing Ahmadinejad (Jake Gyllenhaal was just in it for a few seconds), but yeah that video is incredible. I really want to see more with Andy and Adam haha.
Adam's got a refined taste when it comes to music and musicians he likes to collaborate with. I watched that SNL thing through web though: SNL site won't show the excerpts in Italy sadly, gotta agree with Miss Z. there. But web is an open source... we always get to follow anything he does ;)

This isn't soul, these are rhymes made up in 3 minutes. You want soul, go back 12 years.
Adam Levine + rap in general = awesomeness
Even when it's completely un-serious, like Iran So Far with Andy Samberg (HILARIOUS)
