In the almost 8 years that President Obama has found himself calling the White House home, we’ve learned a vast amount of information about the U.S. leader. Everything from basketball to how he spends any down time, in anything, President Obama is just like us in a lot of ways. That even trickles down into his love for music and the genre of Hip-Hop, in particular. With 2015 bringing forth a tsunami of new music from Hip-Hop acts left and right, the world, with the President included, had a vast amount of new hard-hitting and passionate music to bask in from some of Hip-Hop’s finest.
Upon the many releases, President Obama has went on record and stated just how much he appreciates Kendrick Lamar’s music, along with his love for Kendrick’s second studio album, To Pimp A Butterfly. Citing ‘How Much A Dollar Cost?’ as his favorite song of 2015, there’s no doubting Kendrick’s place in Mr. Obama’s playlist. In an interview conducted today, the President let his hair down while answering a series of questions and was even questioned on who does he believe would win in a rap battle between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Noting Drake’s quality as an entertainer, it comes as no surprise that the President sides with Kendrick Lamar and even crowns his most recent work as the best album of 2015. Take a look at the funny moment, below, starting at the 27:23 mark.
