0:00On March 28th, Senator Marco Rubio channeled some old school hip-hop while backing the U.S. strikes on Iran's military sites. He twisted a line from public enemy's 1990 track to say the military was hitting every key spot hard. This came up in a wild Trump cabinet meeting where things got heated. Rubio is no stranger to dropping rap references in his speeches. He's been weaving in hip-hop lyrics for years to make his point stick. Public enemy in their frontman Chuck D have never held back on slamming Trump. Last year, Chuck D called him out as just a performer hiding behind a fake persona, staying true to their roots of challenging power and unfair. Systems. That creates a real disconnect, liking the beats doesn't mean you get the full message behind them. Fans and critics are buzzing about whether Rubio missed the point entirely. Public enemy hasn't hit back publicly yet, but with their history of calling out folks like this, expect some fire coming soon. Keeps the culture clash alive and politics.
