Barack Obama is continuing the tradition of sharing his personal music faves of 2020.
The former President of the United States took to Instagram on Saturday (December 19) and highlighted an eclectic mix of artists in Hip Hop from Megan Thee Stallion to Travis Scott, Lil Baby, J. Cole, Spillage Village and more.
“Here are some of my favorite songs of the year,” Obama wrote. “As usual, I had some valuable consultation from our family music guru, Sasha, to put this together. I hope you find a new song or two to listen to.”
Back in the summer, Obama shared a playlist highlighting the social unrest in the country as well as artists who were performing at the Democratic National Convention. On that playlist, he touted tracks from the likes of Anderson .Paak, Billie Eilish, Rihanna, Bob Marley, Megan Thee Stallion and Outkast.
Eminem Cosigns Barack Obama's Dramatic Reading Of His '8-Mile' Smash 'Lose Yourself'
Comparing both the summer and year-end playlists, the nation’s first Black president made certain to include the ubiquitous “Savage Remix” from Meg and Beyoncé and Cole’s “The Climb” on both. Obama’s love for Hip Hop once more came into focus last week after a viral video showed him reciting Eminem’s 2002 single “Lose Yourself” for a dramatic read. The move was so popular, Em himself co-signed it.
the people told barack where to go in 2016. he even was voted out of illinois. he just listens to popular music why not give a few a leg up i mean if barack obama listens to your music that is saying something.
Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton, Bush Jr, Obama, Trump… U.S. presidents are a joke… SMH
More pandering. I don’t get the point of this list if his daughter picks the songs for him to make him seem hip… imagine Obama actually listening to most of those songs more than once.

Sheesh, people mad now whenever Obama share’s his music taste. WHO CARES about your political opinions? This is an ex president showing love to a music genre essentially unrecognized by every other president, can we just appreciate that?
Damn dude you done stole my name lol. I got nothing against Obama, hell I voted for him. Im just not into playlists, streaming, or headphones. Im too OG for that BS.
I dont listen to playlists. Thats some milenial/gen z shit. I just let the entire album ride out and switch it up if my mood changes. I also dont do headphones. Music is for driving or in the crib on some big speakers.
The Grammy award winning former president lmao Jesus man this site is becoming a joke
I remember when he had raw shit on his playlist like ‘Bomb Civils in Afghanistan’, ‘Crush Venezuella Cuz They Have a Socialist Leader’, ‘I Made 10.000 Orphans in Iraq’ and ‘ROFL (aka I Kill Lybians and They Give Me a Nobel Peace Prize)’
“Bomb Civils” is dope.. I like the remix featuring Biden
They won’t tell you about the real Obama on nbc or Saturday night live that’s 100
The writer of this article ain’t even blck just someone plying black face
Kinda like Obama then, right?
Barack Obama daughter is dating a white man.
Hey barrack! Release one of them “rapper” playlists again! That will help is pander even more votes! “Okay”
fuck Obama. He killed thousands of innocent people with those drones
And the people will eat this shit up. Why don’t someone ask him about the drone strikes? Or about how he flew 65k worth of “hotdogs” from Chicago to DC? Ohh because hotdogs mean little boys because he’s a pedophile. I really hope someone who reads this and doesn’t know does their research and looks this shit up
