Hip-hop for Obama

Not one of Obama's best interviews, but he named Jay Z's "American Gangster" as a great story. He talks about "they", but when did you ever hear the next president (senator at the time of the interview) talking about hip-hop as an artform?! Even if change isn't here, politics has definitely taken a refresher course in what the people want.

And for this coming week's inauguration aka party time, the hip-hop heads are celebrating with parties across the country. If you're traveling to Washington D.C. check these out.
