In addition to meeting with rappers like Master P., Jay-Z & Beyonce, Ludacris, D.M.C., B.o.B. and a host of others, Barak recently admitted to being a fan of artists like Nas and Lil Wayne. “My rap palate has greatly improved,” President Obama told Rolling Stone in a recent interview. “Jay-Z used to be sort of what predominated, but now I’ve got a little Nas and a little Lil Wayne and some other stuff, but I would not claim to be an expert.”In addition to spinning on Philadelphia’s Power 99FM, DJ Diamond Kuts is a host on BET’s Hip-Hop show, The Deal.
