This is a win for Kendrick as it is a win for Radiohead.

(The song samples "Pyramid Song" by Radiohead)

[FZZ]

Dude has fucking amazing taste

Props

 

[Meier]

My favorite song from the album as well.

 

[Messofanego]

He also said The Knick is his favorite show this year. Perfect taste from the president.

Great taste in music and TV.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Which modern president does the Right hate more, Carter, Clinton, or Obama?

Obama will be remembered fondly by scholars and journalists, (overwhelmingly centre left, like him) even with the whole legally murky drone assassinations. You have to admire the mans resilience and dignity after 8 years of a concentrated right wing hate machine.

I dunno if I'd go that far, but I think Obama's status as first black president will, for good or ill, probably overshadow any of his other accomplishments or faults in long term histories (after we the people who were alive when he was president are dead.) It's rare for most presidents to have a very vibrant legacy, and it's easy to just get turned into a bullet point.

On topic, I'd never heard the song, so Obama made me listen. Not my style though.

 

[Spider from Mars]

What was Carson's?

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

the Ron Isley effect

 

[GK86]

I can picture that corny shit H-Dawg is gonna try to seem cool/hip.

 

[PhoenixDark]

I eagerly await PhoenixDark's theory on why both of them are reading books about marriage.

Two people in loveless marriages, unable to express their true feelings. BTW they had a three hour lunch last week.

Perfect taste indeed

its the best show on TV still

 

[dmshaposv]

Is that the one that plagiarized the pyramid song from radiohead?

 

[Chunky]

Best album of the fucking year, no question.
Would probs go for Alright or BTB but good bloody taste regardless 👌🏽👌🏽

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

Someone should give our president access to better music

 

[CoolOff]

I just listened to that song for the first time. WTF? It sounds like something that was made days into a heroin binge. I mean, the lyrics are fine but the beat makes me want to take a nap.

Someone should give our president access to better music

 

[phanphare]

::nods slowly in approval::

 

[chaislip3]

Definitely one of my favorites of the year.

Spoiler

Momma is the best song on the album though.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

He also said The Knick is his favorite show this year. Perfect taste from the president.

Dats my president :mjcry:

 

[phanphare]

and then suddenly I imagine Obama with headphones on listening to For Free while mouthing along before addressing the media

 

[Byakuya769]

Good choice, Mr. President.

Especially as you continue to destroy this country and make a dollar WORTHLESS!!1111!!!1!!!1!!

Won't someone please make America great again?

 

[Soma]

damn good song

the last verse kills me every time

 

[EMT0]

Hood Politics prez, you're slipping.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

He also said The Knick is his favorite show this year. Perfect taste from the president.

Whaaaaaaaaat

Its crazy to think that me and the President could probably be chill buddies.

This is a win for Kendrick as it is a win for Radiohead.

stealth edit: The song isn't a radiohead sample its this: https://youtu.be/n1G5TfP8Un0

 

[Bacon]

Is that the one that plagiarized the pyramid song from radiohead?

Yeah I'm sure he didn't clear the rights on that one. Maybe get a refresher on what plagiarism means

 

[SomedayTheFire]

he been a1 since day one

 

[Limited Edition]

Eh, not really my thing. But you do ypu Mr. President.

 

[Prophet Steve]

Dayum, that's a pretty cool choice.

 

[Moonkid]

Come on guys let's not get ahead of ourselves, the best song is obviously Wesley's Theory. This is cool to see though, I wonder if Kendrick could get a chance to perform actually at the White House.

 

[Discotheque]

Best song on the album, and his favorite show of the year is the Knick too?! King Obama

 

[dave is ok]

Has he not seen the album cover?

 

[Veritigo_X]

Has he not seen the album cover?

What about it?

 

[Skelter]

Best song off the album, it's a solid choice.

Imagine the outrage from the right if Obama said King Kunta is his favorite.

 

[dave is ok]

What about it?

It's not very pro-government

 

[klonere]

Hood Politics prez, you're slipping.

It'd take balls of steel to say a song that calls you out directly in a negative way as your favorite song of the year!

 

[Veritigo_X]

It's not very pro-government

Neither is the album itself. It's an appropriate cover I think.

 

[P44]

Its blacker the Berry hands down..

 

[LaserBuddha]

Mr. President sure does know how to pander to his audience.

What does this mean?

 

[gdt]

He also said The Knick is his favorite show this year. Perfect taste from the president.

wait what

thats amazing

 

[Citizen_Insane]

Obama say what it do

 

[valkillmore]

It's not very pro-government

Maybe I'm reading the cover art wrong but isn't it an expression of pride?

 

[Testicular Sound Express]

What does this mean?

hes referring to brown people I guess

 

[Kave_Man]

Mr. President be rolling through D.C. like.

Kendrick pls release a single for whatever song that was just before Alright in the video.

Pls!

 

[tabs2002]

G.O.A.T President confirmed, best song on the album.

 

[dave is ok]

Maybe I'm reading the cover art wrong but isn't it an expression of pride?

Sure, ignoring the dead judge

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Obama say what it do.

 

[LosDaddie]

One of the few songs I enjoyed on the album.

 

[spindashing]

I'm really going to miss you, Obama.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

Kendrick pls release a single for whatever song that was just before Alright in the video.

Pls!

Dead Homies or whatever it's called would be such a fucking banger. I played that snippet like 20 times and every time made me wish he'd release the full track.

Jumpin on my dick but this dick ain't free.

 

[Dommo]

Forget Kendrick and The Knick guys. We already knew he had good taste. His favourite show of all time is The Wire.

 

[Battersea Power Station]

Mr. President sure does know how to pander to his audience.

What song would you have liked him to pick? Absolutely any and every (pop) song a President picks will be seen as pandering.
