If Hip-Hoppers Were Politicians: 12 Artists Who’d Reign in DC
Black Thought
Vice President
Here’s someone you don’t hear about too often: Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter of the legendary Roots crew. We felt Black Thought should make an appearance on this list because although he is under the radar, he is a conscientious hard worker, which is apparent by his nearly 3 decade-long career. He is a quiet soldier who is most comfortable voicing his views in his politically aware lyrics. His integrity is admirable and he has maintained a solid and devoted following over the years. Based on these qualities, we’d nominate Black Thought for the position of Vice President.
