The new issue of Rolling Stone had was the interview with the President Barack Obama and he said he been listening Nas and Weezy lately.
What music have you been listening to lately? What have you discovered, what speaks to you these days?
…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.
