Wall Street Journal Pissed @ Obama’s Hip-Hop Musical Taste

Not being funny, because I rarely say this, but have you ever heard the term “knee-grow ears?” Y’all know i don’t mean “knee-grown,” right?

Anyway, Wall Street Journal journalist, THOMAS CHATTERTON WILLIAMS, is NONE too pleased or impressed with President Obama’s musical selection on his ipod. Back story of who President Obama listens to here.

Peep why Williams has beef w/ Obama’s music selection after the skip. I’m cursing after the skip too, so don’t read on if you’re not in the mood for it. #iunderstand.

Read an excerpt of what the journalist feels about your presidents “knee-grow” ears:

“Does Mr. Obama like Lil Wayne’s “Lil Duffle Bag Boy”? In that song, the rapper implores young black men to “go and get their money” through round-the-clock drug hustling. And with Lil Wayne, it’s not just an act: The rapper is currently serving a one-year term on Rikers Island after being caught in New York with drugs and guns stashed in his Louis Vuitton overnighter.

Lil Wayne is emblematic of a hip-hop culture that is ignorant, misogynistic, casually criminal and often violent. A self-described gangster, he is a modern-day minstrel who embodies the most virulent racist stereotypes that generations of blacks have fought to overcome. His music is a vigorous endorsement of the pathologies that still haunt and cripple far too many in the black underclass.”

The president is entitled to his friends and aesthetic tastes. But he undermines his own laudable message and example when he associates himself with a hip-hop culture that diminishes blacks.”

Vulgarity forthcoming…If I’m the got damnpresident of the united states of america and i want to listen to got damn Young Jeezy, while pickin’ my muthafuckin toe nails and eating a bowl of hot Cheetos, that’s my got damn business. if i wanna listen to devil-worshipping music (thats what y’all call Jay-z, right?) on my private jet and fist pump, that too is also my muthafuckin business.  Sir, get some (business).
