前美國總統歐巴馬（Barack Obama）卸任後仍沒閒著，仍然按照任內的新年慣例，與大眾分享他 2017 一年之中最喜愛的讀物及歌曲，而他對於 Hip-hop 及饒舌也有一定的涉略，早在前年就曾公開上電台節目談論饒舌歌手，他最喜歡的是 JAY-Z ，另外也很看好 Kendrick Lamar 及 Chance The Rapper 這些後起新秀即將竄出頭，更在去年 JAY-Z 被選入《詞曲作者名人堂（Songwriters Hall of Fame）》為他發表感人演說，顯現兩人的友誼外，也證明他對於饒舌的熱愛。因此可以在這份 2017 最喜愛歌曲之中可以看到有 Chance The Rapper 的《 First World Problems 》、 Kendrick Lamar 的《Humble》及 Jay-Z 和 Frank Ocean 等人的新歌。
