He's also a fan of Drake, Jay Z and Kanye West.

It's no secret that President Barack Obama has a deep appreciation of music. The past two years, he's released a hot summer playlist. He was even involved in a music, film and tech conference in collaboration with South by Southwest called South by South Lawn this fall.

Now, he's sharing his opinions on the best rappers in the game. "I think the young guys, Kendrick [Lamar] and Chance [the Rapper] are doing amazing work," he told Sirius XM's Sway Calloway (via Pitchfork). 

He also loves Drake (and "the girls love Drake"), Jay Z ("[he's] still the king") and Kanye West

"There’s a lot of talent out there, but when I look at who’s breaking new ground, Kendrick and Chance, those guys are doing just amazing work," said Obama. 

Listen to the whole interview, which also includes his thoughts on the upcoming election, below.
