President Obama Listens To Lil Wayne

obama rolling stone cover

Rolling Stone: What music have you been listening to lately? What have you discovered, what speaks to you these days?

Obama: My iPod now has about 2,000 songs, and it is a source of great pleasure to me. I am probably still more heavily weighted toward the music of my childhood than I am the new stuff. There’s still a lot of Stevie Wonder, a lot of Bob Dylan, a lot of Rolling Stones, a lot of R&B, a lot of Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Those are the old standards.

Thanks to Reggie Love, the president’s personal aide, my rap palate has greatly improved. Jay-Z used to be sort of what predominated, but now I’ve got a little Nas and a little Lil Wayne and some other stuff, but I would not claim to be an expert. Malia and Sasha are now getting old enough to where they start hipping me to things. Music is still a great source of joy and occasional solace in the midst of what can be some difficult days.

Looks like the President of the United States Barack Obama, likes listening to Lil Wayne these days. Maybe he could help Free Weezy!? Leave your comments below.

  3. I’m ashamed to share a name with you chase. But I think it’s good to see he has a variety of shit on his iPod. I was really expecting some BS like I listen to nothing but Mozart and Beethoven lol.

  10. Obama is a worthless piece of trash. Who cares what that Muslim listens to down in his sand castle village. He can speak out on lil wayne but cant speak for any % of shit he is doing to this country.

  11. Dear Mr. “ObamaSucks”,

    you are completely and totally ignorant. Obama represents the equality between whites and blacks, and is a very intelligent and inspirational president. And his “sand castle village” that you reffered to is, in reality, known as the White House which has been the residence of some of the greatest men to ever walk this earth. I am sure we would all greatly appreciate it if you never posted anything on any website or public forum ever again.

    Sincerely,
    “A&I”

  14. Obama is doing a great job in the white house, hes only been president for 2 years! It took Bush 8 years to fuck the country over. Give him time and he will repair the country

  15. Obama is 100 times better than Bush but anybody would be better than him. The bottom line is that he’s not there to change anything. He’s simply there to keep things the same and change some minor details to satisfy the public, which is why he takes the time out of his “busy schedule” to tell journalists what music he prefers. He and his walstreet administration will shit on this country and wipe their asses with the flag until the people realize we don’t need corrupt politicians, thieving presidents, or a useless government.

  16. Regarding the comparison between Bush and Obama, I hate to use the phrase “Skinniest guy at fat camp”, but…

  17. I’m glad our asshat president had the leisure time to sit down with a goddamned magazine to talk about his iPod. I’m glad that he’s listening to Weezy F. Baby, but shit, why don’t you concentrate on fixing our economy you retarded idiot!

  21. You cant expect someone to work all the time. Its dumb to even think that something like our economy can be fixed in just a couple of years. I am just saying that its good to have a president that even knows who lil wayne is.

  22. Obama is creating a socialist government and desroying the constitution. all of you who are saying “he represents racial equality” don’t have clue about what’s going on. fuck the color of his skin. i don’t care what “race” he is. do some research on obama. better yet watch “the obama deception” on youtube. it will teach you a lot. please look into politics before voicing a blank opinion.

  23. dreman, this has nothing to do with race, and you sound VERY ignorant right now.

  24. duhh dummies

  25. Can’t possibly get too upset over Obama’s taking time to interview with the public. Hell, Bush took 69 vacation days in his first year in office. At least our president treats himself with the occasional vacation rather than treating his profession like a privilaged vacation. Let him lead, let him listen, and let him be!
