10 Creepy Predictions In Songs That Came True

5. The Game Predicted Obama Catching Bin Laden - Hard Times

Do you remember Paul the Octopus who went on that insane run of predicting correct results during the 2010 World Cup? Well if The Game ever decides to pack in the whole rap thing, perhaps he could take on a similar divinatory role in US politics.

On his 2007 release Hard Times, featuring Lil Wayne, Jayceon Terrell Taylor raps: "I'm feeling like a black democrat / Barack Obama, the only n**** that can catch Osama”. This is bloody impressive for a couple of reasons. Firstly, at the time that the song was put out, Obama was a rank outsider to be named as the Democrat candidate for the US presidential election, let alone to move into the Oval Office itself. The USA’s first black president subsequently won the keys to the White House the next year.

Secondly, it was indeed Obama’s administration that oversaw the military operation which led to the death of al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden in Pakistan in May 2011. A buy-one-get-one-free prediction from The Game here, these really are two incredible premonitions rolled into one.
