Sort of. Kanye made the cut, Ludacris didn’t. Link
Obama’s official compilation is a mixture of old and new tunes, but one of those tunes is a cover: John Legend’s version of U2’s “Pride, In the Name of Love.” The rest are taken from rock, gospel, R&B and pop, as one scan of the cover image above will tell you. But some of those songs are wanting, especially Dave Stewart’s “American Prayer” and Sheryl Crow’s “Out of Our Heads.” And while there are some incredible tunes, like Jill Scott’s “One is the Magic” and Ozomatli’s “Love and Hope,” the disc’s vibe is sometimes too contemplative and mellow to fully honor such a galvanizing moment.
