Barack Obama has refuted suggestions that his indie-centric annual recommendation playlists aren’t created by the former President himself.At the end of each year, Obama shares a list of music, films and books that have entertained and inspired him that year, with lists having included the likes of The War On Drugs, Little Simz and Mitski.However, some have assumed that the playlists have actually been curated by an intern of the politician’s rather than Obama himself.Refuting the claim in a new interview with comedian Hasan Minhaj, Obama said when asked if he listens and chooses himself: “I do! Listen. I am so glad that I have this opportunity.
People, they believe the books and the movies, but the playlists, they somehow think — and this is mostly coming from young people like you — somehow, y’all think you invented rock ‘n’ roll. You invented hip-hop.“And so the fact that my lists are, you know, pretty incredible — people seem to think, well, he must’ve had some 20-year-old intern who was figuring out this latest cut.
No, man! It’s on my iPad right now.”He added: “Look, here’s the bottom line of my playlists and my book lists and my movie lists. I am very scrupulous about making sure that this is stuff that I actually like.
