Former presidential hopeful Marco Rubio was downright babyfaced when compared to his rivals on the debate stage, and his knowledge of rap —chronicled in “The Marco Rubio Guide to Hip-Hop” in the Washington Post — only served as a reminder that (GOP) voters were dealing with a new generation of candidate.
During his run for president, Secretary of State John Kerry also claimed that he was “fascinated by rap and by hip-hop,” particularly its coupling of poetry and social energy. We’re not convinced Kerry, who seems to gravitate to prehistoric singer/songwriters like James Taylor and Jimmy Buffet, could name a favorite rapper, though.
Today was Bill Clinton’s turn to weigh in on hip-hop.
