If [his Kanye] joke was a little obscure for the hip-hop fans watching, President Obama, who has shared the contents of his iPod and Spotify playlists with us before, went a little more direct. “In my first term I sang Al Green,” he said, referencing the 10 Seconds That Saved the Music Biz. “In my second term, I’m going with Young Jeezy.” Michelle Obama reacted with an enthusiastic, “Yeah!” and Obama continued, “I sing that to her sometimes.” He’s presumably referring to Jeezy’s 2008 track “My President” featuring Nas, and not one of the billion cocaine raps the artist known as the Snowman has churned out over the years. When word of the shout-out reached the rapper, he tweeted from Europe, “You know they love the snowman in the White House #Turntup,” thereby capping one giant coke joke. — YESSSSSSSS. You bumped Jeezy’s “My President” like 5443 times on election night too, right? I remember driving down 4th ave in Brooklyn in Nick Catchdubs’ shoe-shaped mini-van and leaning out the window at stoplights to high-five complete strangers because DUDE YOU GUYS DO YOU REMEMBER THAT NIGHT?!?!?! BROOKLYN WAS POPPING.
