'Hip-Hop and the White House' shows the relationship between the genre and presidential policies Jeezy , Common and more from the hip-hop community talk music, politics and the thread that binds them in "Hip-Hop and the White House."The new documentary, "Hip-Hop and the White House" explores the relationship between the music genre of hip-hop and the politicians who shape the policies of this nation.
"We really had to set the stage for what hip-hop came out of and the political consciousness that was baked into the culture from the beginning just by virtue of existing in this country and being on the receiving end of presidential policies since the 1970s," he continued. Their stories go back to the 1970s and 1980s, from the war on drugs, which so many rappers wrote about, to NWA to Eazy-E attending a Republican group's luncheon with then President George H.W. Bush, to rapper YG's anthem railing against former President Donald Trump.
In the documentary, Jeezy reveals how months prior to the 2008 election of President Barack Obama, he kept hearing this beat in his head, singing to himself, "my President is Black," and decided to go to the studio right then to record it.
