"Ms. Harris is far and away the most hip-hop-minded of all the candidates"

Ian Sams @IanSams 20m
“Ms. Harris is far and away the most hip-hop-minded of all the candidates, and she’s keen to show off her range — Biggie and Pac, Cardi and Chance, Tribe and Migos, Kendrick and Hov, Nicki and Lauryn.”

Fun @nytimes look at the candidates’ playlists >>

Ari's trying too hard and getting way too predictable. Yet another MSNBC talking head on whom I've started switching channels. There are a considerable number of informed, articulate political commentators of color who need more air time. I don't need input from rap stars on current events, any more than I need such information from country western singers.

I can honestly say I don’t give a damn about any of our candidates’ musical tastes.
