Barack Obama may no longer be commander-in-chief, but that didn’t stop the former president from sharing his annual lists for his favorites books and songs.
“During my presidency, I started a tradition of sharing my reading lists and playlists,” Barack Obama wrote before sharing the pair of lists. “It was a nice way to reflect on the works that resonated with me and lift up authors and artists from around the world. With some extra time on my hands this year to catch up, I wanted to share the books and music that I enjoyed most. From songs that got me moving to stories that inspired me, here’s my 2017 list.”
Obama shared the list on New Year’s Eve, and the music portion is unsurprisingly Hip Hop heavy, with artists like JAY-Z, DJ Khaled and French Montana making the list of well over a dozen songs.
Among the other tunes are Chance The Rapper’s “First World Problems,” DJ Khaled’s “Wild Thoughts,” JAY-Z’s “Family Feud,” and Travis Scott’s “Butterfly Effect.”
JAY-Z was previously listed on Obama’s workout playlist, courtesy of his Blueprint 3 track, “Off That.”
Obama also included SZA’S “Broken Clocks” and the biggest hit from his favorite rapper: Kendrick Lamar’s “HUMBLE.”

Who cares, I wonder what Trump’s playlist is looking like, who agrees?
Trump playlist only has klezmer music. 100% kosher, ZOG certified.
He also listed a war on Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan. He has also listed the crush of Venezuela. Thanks for the innocent victims, the hunger, the chaos and for the IS. Go and fuck Obama with Trump’s dildo.
Ah yes. The Nobel peace prize president who was bombing seven different countries simultaneosly that US was officially not at war with. In 2016 with his blessing over 26,000 bombs were dropped over brown people. Be it a Bush, Obama, Trump, democrat or a republican the same agenda continues..
This guy is a clown. I don’t understand how you all love him. He hasn’t done shit except name his playlists an s invite a bunch of entertainers to the White House. Interesting how he wasn’t worth shit and now he’s with 40 million.
I’ve got money too. Don’t let nobody tell you I don’t. I made $8000 just reading your comment.
