It's pretty cool though I prefer H. W. Bush's feature with the Geto Boys [1] and in terms of presidential rap, Bill isn't the best Clinton [2] [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IJCFc_qkHw&t=213 [2] ht

It's pretty funny that a lot of these cases of 'cancel culture' aren't the mob ("Twitter, do your thing") but journalists going after regular people. As it turns out it's far easier to expose someone witho
