It’s been public knowledge for quite some time that President Barack Obama is a fan of Hip-Hop. He was criticized during his 2008 campaign for having Ludacris on his iPod, and during his eight years in office, artists like Common, Big Sean and Wale have made trips to the White House to perform at marquee events involving POTUS, FLOTUS, or both.
In a new interview with People, Barack and Michelle ran through a few of their favorite things of 2015, including movies, music and TV shows. Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross’s hit TV show Black-ish, Matt Damon‘s Martian and Bruno Mars‘s “Uptown Funk” were among some of the President and First Lady’s #1 preferences, but POTUS’s favorite song was, interestingly enough, a Kendrick Lamar deep cut: “How Much a Dollar Cost?,” the LoveDragon-produced To Pimp A Butterfly song that features both James Fauntleroy and Ronald Isley.
Not a bad choice at all, prez. You can read People‘s full report of the President and First Lady’s favorite things here.
