Presidential Rap Battle

[MaybeACoordinator 8349]

Rules:

 

They all grew up in the 1980s and 1990s or later and had equal exposure to rap growing up.

Who would drop the mic on the rest of them?

And if you say Obama, just because...

 

 

 

[David Dennison 18951]

W, obviously.

[Michael Knight 12995]

William Henry Harrison

[Bama Chick 28596]

Clinton - for his musical background and Obama - because you know why.

GW Bush can't even dance - no way he could rap.

[Tyler Durden 132]

Don't sleep on Cocaine W.

Dem Adams Boyz would get raves from the critics for their dense, thoughtful, humanitarian rhymes, but their records wouldn't sell for shit. 

[Mole 4333]

Lincoln or JFK

[Fudge Nuggets 19227]

Clinton easily, I mean he was the first black president after all.

[RDCanecutter 26476]

Jefferson, and it's not even close.

He'd have to be a ghostwriter:

 

Quote

John Adams wrote, "Mr. Jefferson had been now about a Year a Member of Congress, but had attended his Duty in the House but a very small part of the time and when there had never spoken in public: and during the whole Time I satt with him in Congress, I never heard him utter three Sentences together. The most of a Speech he ever made in my hearing was a gross insult on Religion, in one or two Sentences, for which I gave him immediately the Reprehension, which he richly merited."1

Witnesses said they could barely hear him at both of his inaugurals. He sent MC Meriwether Lewis out to deliver his first address to Congress. 

Quote

One of Jefferson's last addresses and his last public appearance took place at a dinner on November 5, 1824, in the unfinished Rotunda at the University of Virginia honoring the Marquis de Lafayette. Jefferson claimed he didn't have the strength or voice to deliver it. The presiding officer read it in a loud voice.15

Great writer with paralyzing stage fright...

I think Bubba would deploy that southern drawl well.

Reagan: acting backgournd and a pretty good singer.

This looks too much like a Trump tweet to be taken seriously.

LBJ. It's all attitude and presence and he had more of both than the next five combined.

And he’d have George Parr to rig the votes to win regardless.

Woodrow Wilson is Eminem’s Great Granfather.  Fact.

It's a pretty tough question to answer, and I think it really has a lot to with style and the opponent. Washington's completely psychotic character and that grill really do something for me.
