Danny Brown Roasts Barack Obama’s Summer Playlist Choice

Danny Brown, the Detroit rapper known for his unique style and witty humor, couldn’t help but poke fun at former President Barack Obama’s summer playlist for 2024. Obama’s playlist, which was released on Monday, features a wide range of artists and genres, including Hip Hop, R&B, soul, rock, pop, jazz, reggae, and afrobeats.

One particular song that caught Danny Brown’s attention was 2Pac’s “How Do U Want It,” specifically the braggadocious and expletive-filled hook sung by K-Ci and JoJo. Brown took to social media to share his amusement, imagining Obama singing along to the explicit lyrics of the 1996 hit.

This isn’t the first time a Hip Hop artist has found humor in Obama’s music choices. In 2022, Vince Staples had a similar reaction when his song “Magic” made it onto Obama’s playlist, jokingly referencing the ad-lib he used in the track.

Aside from his music career, Danny Brown has been expanding his horizons into acting, stand-up comedy, television, and podcasting. In a recent episode of The Danny Brown Show, he discussed the challenges of the music industry, revealing how he had to give up almost all rights to his hit song “Dip” in order to sample elements from a Jay-Z and Kanye West track.

Despite the ups and downs of the industry, Danny Brown continues to entertain and engage his fans with his sharp wit and candid commentary on music and culture.
