Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio talked to GQ about his love for Hip-Hop music. The 42-year old politician named his top three favorite rap songs — “Straight Outta Compton” by N.W.A., “Killuminati” by Tupac, and Eminem’s “Lose Yourself.” “The only guy that speaks at any sort of depth is, in my mind, Eminem. He’s a guy that does music that talks about the struggles of addiction and before that violence, with growing up in a broken family, not being a good enough father,” Rubio told GQ. “So, you know that’s what I enjoy about it. It’s harder to listen to than ever before because I have a bunch of kids and you just can’t put it on.” Not much love for his fellow Cuban Pitbull, Rubio discusses the difference between Pit and Eminem. “His songs are all party songs. There’s no message for him, compared to, like, an Eminem. But look, there’s always been a role for that in American music. There’s always been a party person, but he’s a young guy. You know, maybe as he gets older, he’ll reflect in his music more as time goes on. I mean, he’s not Tupac. He’s not gonna be writing poetry,” Rubio said. Rubio’s music preferences and politics don’t exactly align but music and politics can relate. What do you think?
