President Obama’s term is coming to an end. On Tuesday, Obama hosted his final State Dinner at The White House and was joined by Chance The Rapper and Frank Ocean.

Both rappers showed up with someone special, a parent. Chance brought his father, who worked behind Obama in the past when the President was a senator in Chicago.

Ocean, brought along his mother to the event as well as a pair of black and white checkered Vans he wore to the event.

Considering Donald Trump is a presidential nominee, this could be the last time we see any hip-hop figures at The White House for a while.

President Barack Obama Jams Out To Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” [VIDEO]

President Barack Obama jammed out to Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” before hitting the stage at the Democratic National Convention. “Lose Yourself” has always been motivational music for myself, so I can see why Obama picked this before he gave his speech. It’s also no secret Barack loves the hip-hop culture. He recently invited Kendrick Lamar and Beyonce to the White House for his birthday bash!
