Hip-hop and politics might work together in the US if Barack Obama makes it to the White House. The presidential hopeful says that he would like to work with hip-hop artists to promote social change.
Obama said: "I've met with Jay-Z. I've met with Kanye. And I've talked to other artists about how potentially to bridge that gap."
Although he likes these artists Obama said that he is sometimes concerned about some messages that they give out through their music.
He added: "There are times, even on the artists I've named, the artists that I love, that there is a message that's sometimes degrading to women, uses the N-word a little too frequently. But also something that I'm really concerned about is (they're) always talking about material things about how I can get something, more money, more cars."
