President Obama Chooses Jay-Z Over Kanye West

[QUOTE="peterw007"]

Has Bush or Clinton ever been asked such a question?

Oh look, something trivial to complain about!

Obama clearly hasn't heard MBDTF

To be honest, Jay-Z and Kanye are both trash.chessmaster1989

I feel like Obama felt like he was supposed to pick Jay-Z over Kanye because what he said about Kanye in '09..

Really though Kanye >>> Jay-Z

Even before MBDTF and his better performance on WTT.

This is a very valid point. I disagree with your POV but I can see where you're coming from. I think it is a good thing the president at least attempts to relate to middle america in these ways.

With Bush, I never felt that. I just felt he only tried to relate to his main constituency...the "haves".

But the whole "Black man likes rap" stereotype is a little...disappointing, especially coming from a man who is supposed to represent all of America.

It would have been interesting if the music question consisted of a more neutral genre of music...one that doesn't have such obvious African-American implications.

Nas is better than both.

Of course not, they're not black, silly.

One thing I agree with the President on.

Likewise.

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]This is one issue that really bothers me about Obama. He's too focused on pop cultures and sports and trying to come off as cool. I know the president is entitled to a life but I'm tired of hearing about his basketball brackets, or his favorite sports players or which freakin' rapper he thinks is better.

Hahahahaha what the hell

Lets face it, Obama is the black friend that America never had.
