If President Obama says he lives in an isolated "bubble" then it is clear that the rap nation is trying to burst it.
Obama, who watched the Super Bowl halftime show with Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, probably took note of the Black Eyed Peas switching up their lyrics to "Where is the Love?"
Obama supporter will.i.am sang: "In America we need to get things straight / Obama, let's get these kids educated / Create jobs so the country stays stimulated."
Ironically, in President Obama's White House pre-game interview with Bill O'Reilly, he talked about not being as plugged in as he would like.
"The biggest problem for me is being in the bubble," Obama said. "It's very hard to escape."
Obama might have also missed rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs -- another Obama supporter -- paving the way for will.i.am's halftime show by challenging the president to do more for blacks just last week.
"I love the president like most of us," Combs told the Source magazine. "I just want the president to do better. There's a difference between us voting for somebody and us believing in somebody. He's the person that we believed in so I pray night and day that he understands how God ordained his presidency. I feel there was a promise made to God to look after people that was less fortunate, and [some] of those people are African American.
"It's something he might not get reelected for, but we elected him. He owes us. I'd rather have a black president that was man enough to say that he was doing something for black people have one term than a president who played the politics game have two terms."
What's more, rapper Lupe Fiasco said in the same week that he did not vote for President Obama and would not in the future.
"Gaza Strip was getting burned, Obama didn't say...that's why I ain't vote for him, next one either," Fiasco raps on 'Words I Never Said.'
