We’re going to miss old mate Barack Obama. He may have copped some fair criticism in his time, but there’s absolutely no doubting that he just seems like a dude you want to be friends with. Whether he’s chilling in the oval office with Kendrick Lamar or spitting

We’ve known POTUS is a music fan for a while, but recently he revealed his turntable setup to the world, courtesy of Architectural Digest. After some digestion and a fine-needle biopsy of the gear, speaker placement and record collection in the photo, there’s been little else but criticism.

Just let the man listen to some vinyls.
