I know every DJ in the world is thinking the Inaugural Ball is the gig of a lifetime. Way before Obama grasped the Democratic nomination, mixtapes had already begun to make the rounds on popular Hip Hop sites. Prompting many a DJ (including myself) to gather their "Presidential Playlist" in the wake of the inevitable history making event that is the Obama Presidency.
I texted a few of my fellow DJ brethren via tmail (no iphone here) to ask 'em what they would play if they could spin one record at the Inaugural Ball. Here's how the mini convo went down:
DJ E-Feezy: The Heavy Hitters, B96, 98.3 The Beat - Louiville, KY
Public Enemy - "Fight The Power"

Took the word's right out of my mouth [@ E-Feezy]...I've had it on repeat most of the day. The clean version of course! :)
Clinton Sparks: DJ/Producer, Smash Time Radio, E! Channel "The Daily 10" Boston, MA
The power has been fought and defeated already...
also [my pick is] Louis Armstrong - "What A Wonderful World"
Don Cannon: Apphiliates DJ/Producer, Gangsta Grillz Radio; Atlanta, GA
Young Jeezy - "Circulate" (Produced by: Don Cannon)
Wally Sparks: The League Crew DJ/Mediabase, Power 94, 98.3 The Beat; Chattanooga, TN
Bob Marley - "One Love"
DJ Mars: Super Friends DJ, Tour DJ (Usher, Ciara, Ne-yo ect.), Atlanta, GA
"Wake Up Everybody." Teddy Pendergrass. I played it at the Democratic Party of Georgia election party. It was monumental. Those words from those songs meant so much...every word was relative to what's going on right now.

DJ Jamad: Aphilliates DJ/Producer, Tasteful Licks Records, Atlanta, GA Hmmm, Let's see...J Dilla, "Only One Can Win" This really should have been the song played when Obama won the election. Dilla sampled the classic Sylvers and made a classic from a classic! I have so many other's to choose from but Dilla is my favorite producer of all time. Go Obama! Oh, yeah "Dilla Vs. Prince Party" November 21st @ Sugar Hill!
DJ Kut: Core DJs, Power 105.1; New York City, NY
McFadden & Whitehead "Ain't No Stopping Us Now" Hands down!!
Clinton Sparks: By the way, I play that in the club everytime....Cannon!
