Sarah Palin Admits Love For Hip-Hop Music

By: allhiphop.comPosted On: 05/16/2011 10:56 A

Sarah Palin has admitted to being a Hip-Hop fan, although she is no fan of Chicago rapper, Common.

Palin appeared on Fox News' "On the Record," to comment on Common's poetry performance at the White House last night (May 11th).

Palin, who said she supported free speech, is not anti-rap, but took issues with Common's poetry and lyrics on his track "A Song for Assata," which supports Assata Shakur, who was convicted of murdering a police officer in 1973.

"This rapper -- we thought that we were to be united under the leader of the free world, Barack Obama, in tamping down racism and inciting violence and cop killing, certainly, and killing a former president," Sarah Palin said. "All those things that this rapper has glorified and really is known for, it just certainly reflects a lack of judgment on the White House's part."

During the interview, Sarah Palin revealed that she was somewhat into Hip-Hop music.

She referenced a recent rendition of Sugar Hill Gang's classic by Fox News' Brett Baier at the 52nd annual Bob Hope Classic in California in January.

According to Sarah Palin, she has also memorized the lyrics to "Rapper's Delight" which runs over 14 minutes in length.

"I am obviously a proponent of free speech. I'm not anti-rap. In fact, like Bret Baier, I know the lyrics to 'Rapper's Delight,' Sarah Palin said. "But I am saying just common decency in the White House -- wouldn't we like to see a reflection of all that is wonderful and great, a shining city on a hill that the White House is supposed to be, with events inside of that house that reflect the patriotism and the decency and the influence of America."
