So, this video of Mary J. Blige serenading Hillary Clinton about police brutality popped up into our timeline this morning. Have a listen (but be warned, it’s as awful as it sounds):
Like you’ve never seen them before.@MaryJBlige sits down with @HillaryClinton.#The411
Coming September 30th.https://t.co/hbaWqfjJcp pic.twitter.com/P2qpm3h3Pm— Apple Music (@AppleMusic) September 27, 2016
And now we have, “Is it a gun? Is it a knife? Is it a wallet?” stuck in our heads (and you probably do, too!)
Even Hillary looks confused when the famed singer starts her tune, as are others:
Hillary looks confused. She should. This is weird. https://t.co/a7ERgR8K4n

I would be SO uncomfortable if I went to a sit-down interview and the host just started singing to me https://t.co/4iIx3I12CE

As for Mary J. Blige, she told her “Haters” to “SHUT THE F*** UP” in a now deleted tweet captured by BuzzFeed:
Apparently the song is part of a larger interview that’s only available on Apple Music starting September 30. Here she is asking Clinton if Congress blocked President Obama because he was black:
A conversation you won’t want to miss.@MaryJBlige@HillaryClinton#The411

But is this really what Apple Music consumers are paying for? Maybe not:
