The Internet can’t stop talking about Kamala Harris’ choice of the ‘best rapper alive’
- Kamala Harris was asked during a recent interview to name her pick for the "best rapper alive."
- Harris, who's running to be Joe Biden's vice president against President Trump in this fall's presidential election, answered quickly: "Tupac."
- Her answer, as you can imagine, went viral. Not only was that answer incorrect (rapper Tupac Shakur was shot and killed in 1996) but it also is a reminder of the conspiracy theories that are still floating around, about Shakur allegedly faking his death.
One of the things I've always found so asinine in the course of presidential campaigns is the effort to make a candidate seem "cool" and to try and insert them somehow into the slipstream of pop culture. It's something both sides are equally guilty of. President Trump, for example, made an appearance on Saturday Night Live back at the end of 2015, when he was still a candidate. Bill Clinton broke out his saxophone and donned black shades every chance he got when he was running for office.
And look, I get it, these kinds of things are part of an effort to make a candidate palatable enough so that people will want to vote for them. It's why candidates like Joe Biden's running mate, California Senator Kamala Harris, was recently asked for her opinion on the "best rapper alive" today. Why that needs to be asked of someone who is trying to prove to voters that they belong a heartbeat away from the presidency is beyond me, but nevertheless, here we are. A reality TV star was elected president in 2016, and our potential next vice president is being asked about her rap preferences.
