Marco Rubio: Hip-Hop Connoisseur
Posted by KingShamus on February 27, 2013
The Senator from Florida, dropping some made rap science on TMZ.
When it comes to early/mid 90′s rap, the stuff that came out of the Biggie-Tupac East Coast-West Coast feud can’t hold a candle to the weirdly endearing Wu-Tang Clan and all their various side-projects and solo discs. And Jay-Z hasn’t put out a decent record since the “Big Pimpin’” days. But that’s just me.
Anyhoo, look at how Rubio is working the media. A Republican isn’t supposed to know anything about modern music, much less have an opinion about old skool and contemporary rapppers. Yet here’s Marco Rubio, talking credibly about urban music. Kinda amazing.
I cannot wait for Harry Reid to tell us of his long standing love of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.
UPDATE: Sorry my post came out kinda janky before. I stink at teh intertubez. I got those links and embeds fixed, so you can almost read my yakety-yak now.

I think of Harry Reid as more of a 2 Live Crew kinda guy.

Come on. I know for a fact that Harry Reid has the bones for Ke$sha.
Starless said
I may be misremembering but I believe Reid specified that he favors “songs that talk about poontang”.
Infidel de Manahatta said
That’s actually the title of Reid’s memoir.
Starless said
Ah, yes. I hear he’s got a new one coming out entitled, “Call Me ‘Senator Geary‘”

This vid is down, again.
Sorry, dude.
Ain’t your fault, King. YouTube pulled it.
Now the only thing that I see available is Rubio’s initial, minute-long interview in the airport, which preceded the clip you had.
If I see yours pop up somewhere (and they usually do, eventually), I’ll drop you a line.

It’s all good, but IIRC McCain was working the media too, until the media turned its back on him once he ran against the O man.
