January 20 will see the administration of America’s first ever black president come to an end. President Barack Obama bid farewell to the country he has led for eight years, offering a message of hope at a time when so many are fearful about what is to come from President-elect Donald Trump.
The president built up a lot of good will in the Hip Hop community throughout his two terms in the Oval Office, frequently discussing his favorite artists and inviting them to State dinners held in the White House.
Plenty of rappers took to Instagram to say goodbye to Obama, with the president’s fellow Chicago native Twista going so far as to change his Twitter avi to a picture of Obama with a “Farewell” banner on the bottom.
Even Canadian Drake paid tribute to the president with a pretty startling photoshop of his own hair on Obama’s face.
Nas praised Obama for for being “the realest human being” and “the coolest of the cool.”
They weren’t the only ones who were emotional to see Obama go. Many more expressed their fond wishes.
Check out the full farewell speech (as well as BJ The Chicago Kid’s version of the National Anthem) below.
He will be missed. Especially by Muslims when trump puts them in death camps
Look up the word “hyperbole”.
Quavo is a fuckin legend. I love his tweet “C U L T U R E 1/27 ” go stream that shit my niggas. skrrt.
Damn Michelle is bad and boujee.. Obama with that fake tear wipe with the kleenex though, that was cute……
Damn, too bad he couldn’t run for another term. He’s a true class act, a consummate professional. Trump could never match Obama’s class, EVER…
Just if class was actualy getting things done that benefited the american people and not sign “executive orders” into place at midnight of all times to benefit all his saudi arabia and U.N butt buddies who he owes his election to for funding his campaigns
I wish “Hip-Hop” could name 1 thing he did for them..
He was black thats it and its enough evidently
GOD BLESS OBAMA AND HIS FAMILY
Anybody who shakes hands with Obama or praises Obama that’s a fuckin’ fuckhead. Obama killed thousands in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, he destroyed Venezuela, he built up ISIS and it’s not enough: he’s a president. If you know anything about hiphop you should FIGHT THE POWER. Always. And DO NOT put down the weapon of words even if the big man is a fuckin’ nigga. So fuck Obaman! Fuck Trump! and fuck the next 44 presidents! FIGHT THE POWER!
Not forgetting his woeful abandonment of regular African Americans. Oh, if you’re rich and black, Obama will fuck with you all day long. If you’re poor and black, you transform from an African American to a nigga.
He didn’t indite anyone for the 2008 Crash. Timothy Gietner, former executive of Goldman Sachs, was actually part of Obama’s cabinet. As was Alan Greenspan and Larry Summers. These fuckers gutted out the wealth of most of the world for the elite families, they nearly brought us to our knees and what does Obama do? He just ignores it!!! They gave Wall Street a blank cheque and the banks actually had it written into law that the Government can’t ask how they spent it!!!!!!
As Professor Griff said that after Bush, America was ready to revolt. So what do the masters do? They usher in a charismatic black man to give the illusion of change and progression,
Wake the fuck up!!!
Obama is a uncle tom j i g g a b o o who could never match Trump
Obama is good at killing children all acorss the world via Drone strikes and Fighter Jets. He’s no better than Bush and Trump will be the same.
