If by any chance in the last 8 years you didn’t know Barack Obama loved hip-hop, you do know. Throughout Obama’s presidential, he’s championed Jay Z, Jeezy, Kendrick Lamar and Wale. Obama let Wale make history as the first and only rapper that has ever opened for a President’s state of the union. While Wale opened up for Obama’s last SOTU, Cole was presented the luxury of opening up for Obama during the president’s SxSW Keynote.
Once President Obama was done with his keynote speech on today’s technology, he blurted out, “I Love J. Cole!”. The POTUS then went into detail on how he has become aware of the Dreamville boss. It pays not to be the grumpy parent not willing to understand what your kids watch or listen to.
