Bob Dole finally kicked the bucket

[The Intergalactic Koala]

What was he known for? Never heard of him.

• Took a L from Clinton (I mean overkill)
• Was a meme machine (Simpsons episode, Family Guy, etc)
• Hated by rappers (because he and Tucker were against hip hop)

Basically a typical obtuse politician that was too old even in the 90s to understand what was real.

Seeing all of these Pac quotes got me thinking: Who was the first Presidential candidate to really embrace rap/hip-hop culture? Was it Obama? It took that long?

 

[JadeB]

Second Bush to a small degree but Obama for sure.

 

[xXOGLEGENDXx]

I though he died in 1998

 

[HipHopStan]

I'll give him credit where credit is due: He took the situation of losing President of the United States and laughed at it.



You won't see Gore, Hillary, or Trump ever doing that.

Dude lived a long life. In about ten years, all the World War 2 veterans will be dead.

still wished I woulda asked my granddad about his experiences as a red ball express driver before he passed in 2010

Yeah definitely Obama. All the presidents before him that were president when hip hop came about were either baby boomers (Clinton, Bush Jr) or Greatest Generation (Bush Sr, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon)
