The Gift of Hip Hop

The U2 Factor - Matt Yglesias

I understand the need to connect to an audience through music and using a politically-active band like U2 is a smart choice, but deep down I want to hear Sen. Obama come out on stage to Bring the Noize by Public Enemy, or better yet Testify by Kanye. I mean, not to throw the race card out there like that or stereotype the man, but he must have listened to some hip-hop in his younger years.
