How did the fist-pumping Jersey Shore cast celebrate the death of Osama bin Laden? We're guessing this song was involved. 50 Cent protege Hot Rod slapped this tune together for release just 24 hours after the news came out. This Is 50 Cent says, "G-Note Records artist Hot Rod wasted no time in getting out a new song celebrating the death of Osama bin Laden. Over a thumping club track, Rod implores everyone to get on the dance floor and party." That's just what this historic moment was missing: a thumping club track.
And how about those lyrics? "Osama was killed tonight / So everybody come and have a good time / The great news made me lose my mind / So tonight I’m gonna have a good time." Somewhere, the Black Eyed Peas are kicking themselves for not writing a timely follow-up to "I Gotta Feeling." [via Buzzfeed]

It seems it's the very young who are the most jubilant. That's ok though....it shows they care about what's going on in their world. Young Americans for the most part are by nature celebratory....it's just an expression and I think expression heals wounds.

When I heard he was killed I got this relief that was built up in me for nine years because he could have done another attack to our precious United States.
This song is kind of sad. Obama doesn't want to release his death image because "we are better than that" but celebrations with champagne and songs are worse. Besides, this guy made this to become a more popular rapper, capitalizing for 5-minute fame.
