Wilmore Catches Obama Quoting Jay-Z on Selma Speech
OBAMA [video]: “We honor those who walked so we could run. We must run so our children soar.”
WILMORE: “Hmm... that quote sounds familiar. Where have I heard that?”
JAY-Z [video]: “Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther King could walk. Martin Luther King walked so Barack Obama could run. Barack Obama ran so all the children could fly.”
WILMORE: Wait. Obama, did you just sample Jay-Z? That’s what it sounded like. Look, this bromance has gone too far. We get it. You like Jay-Z, but you’re making an important speech about civil rights. Focus. How did that speech-writing session go? “Let’s see. I’ve got a bible reference. I’ve quoted Emerson and Whitman. I feel like I’m not keeping it real! You know what, let’s replace that Dr. King quote with Dr. Dre.””
