President Barack Obama has social media bugging out courtesy of footage of himself jamming to rap star Eminem at last week’s Democratic National Convention.
Footage has surfaced and shows the head of state listening to Slim Shady’s Oscar-winning “Lose Yourself” single before giving his DNC speech.
It’s no secret that President Obama enjoys rap. He named Kendrick Lamar’s “How Much a Dollar Cost?” as his favorite song from 2015, and before he took the stage at the Democratic National Convention last week, he got pumped up by listening to another rapper’s energetic, driven track. (Radio)
