Rumormill: Obama to Bring Kanye Out @ Lollapalooza

Posted by KPope

Barack Obama is rumored to be introducing Kanye West at a performance at a Chicago festival in a bid to appeal to hip hop fans. Apparently, Obama has a slot free in his schedule to appear at the three-day Lollapalooza festival and is expected to make a brief appearance onstage. The politician recently told U.S. TV show What’s In It For Us, “I’ve met with Kanye. And I’ve talked to other artists about how potentially to bridge that gap. I think the potential for them to deliver a message of extraordinary power that gets people thinking is massive.” The Lollapalooza festival takes place in Chicago, Illinois’ Grant Park from August 1-3rd.

    I am a big Obama fan, but that would be a mistake. Next thing he will be appearing on someone’s album spitting a hot 16. Keep it presidential!

    Obama is our future president, and I am going to be at the Lolla Kanye show. I hope to see him! I think its an amazingly creative way to appeal to the youth, to Chicago, AND to hip hop fans.
