Former President Barack Obama dropped his most recent playlist Thursday afternoon, including an eclectic mix of current hits and classics, smooth and sultry, rap and country, and a lot in between.
Without fail, the question is asked whether the former president of the United States really does consume all of the media he shares in his various playlists, movie recommendations and reading lists. Comedian Hasan Minhaj recently posed that question to Obama in an interview posted on his YouTube channel. The former president said he does listen to, watch and read it all, and the songs go into his rotation, but he does take recommendations before listening and thinking of adding them.
"People, they believe the books and the movies," he said."But the playlists, they somehow think, and this is mostly coming from young people like you ... somehow y'all think you invented rock and roll, you invented hip-hop. And so, the fact that my lists are pretty incredible, people seem to think he had some 20-year-old intern ... No, man, it's on my iPad right now.""I will confess, that, there are times on the playlists... I will get suggestions.
