If Hip-Hoppers Were Politicians: 12 Artists Who’d Reign in DC
Kanye West
President
Yeezy is certainly a leader in his own right so we think he’d make for an interesting president. As he said during a recent press conference, he doesn’t “base [his] taste levels off of what the trends are, or what the common perception is…” Though he has been known to put his foot in his mouth, a la Taylor Swift, at the end of the day he has a creative and strategic vision that is ahead of the curve. A successful president must have an internal self-confidence, which Kanye clearly has, though it can boil over into arrogance. He also knows how to surround himself with a strong team, i.e. Jay-Z and his own label, G.O.O.D. Music, which includes artists Common, Mos Def, Pusha T and Kid Cudi. Yeezy for President!
