Wow. What an idiot.
Here are some sample lyrics from the songs our Education Dept. Secretary loves:
“Out o’ town, put it down for the Father of Rap And if yo’ ass get cracked, bitches, shut your trap. Come back, get back, that’s the part of success.”
“Fuck all you hoes. Get a grip, motherfucker!”
“My my, I’m big huh, I rip my prick through your hooters I’m sick, you couldn’t measure my dick with six rulers”
Secretary Cardona can listen to, read and love whatever he chooses, but his tweet—he quickly deleted it, of course, after multiple social media commenters explained to him that the tweet called into question his priorities and judgment—is a red flag to parents who don’t want their children to be immersed in a sexually-obsessed culture when they need to learn academic skills. This is the official who is overseeing U.S. education policy, and he saw nothing inappropriate about endorsing songs with lyrics like “Fuck all you hoes.”

I don’t know why people lie like this…
And for the record, that’s what this is – A lie. There’s approximately a zero percent chance that this guy had ever listened to any of those songs. Hell, there’s a near-zero percent chance that he made either the graphic or list himself. Both the graphic and the list are the products of, at best, focus group testing or surveys, and, at worst, someone’s idea of what a group they want to appeal to wants.
The problem with shit like this is you get caught up in being inauthentic. You don’t know the lyrics. You don’t know the tune. You’re borrowing culture from people you don’t understand. You’re going to fuck up. Don’t do this.
This is a variation of the pandering that Hillary Clinton (Hot Sauce!) and Joe Biden (I was arrested) do on the regular, and almost identical to what Kamala Harris did when she said that she listened to Tupac and Snoop in college (The problem with that lie was that Kamala may or may not actually like Tupac and/or Snoop now, but Kamala is an Old, and neither Tupac nor Snoop would released an album until long after she left College).
He’s pandering. He wants to show how hip he is with the young and with minorities.
At least he didn’t have “Baby, it’s cold outside”. He’d be canceled for that.
Why don’t white people just stay away from rap?
I suspect this guy was put on the Klain administration team because his parents are Puerto Rican.
(Ya think???)
Hah!
Can we talk about who in marketing thought it was a good idea to name a school tour DOPE? The jokes write themselves…
