R&Cs: Racailles

Arguably one of the coolest in the history of USA first ladies, Michelle Obama will also go down as one of the most visible. Not only a skilled orator, Michelle Obama is very savvy with the usage of social media to push awareness on her work. Such is the case with the Let Girls Learn initiative and associated #62MillionGirls campaign. Michelle Obama opened a Snapchat account to extend her reach in support of the aforementioned. A star-power anthem, “This Is For My Girls”, was released. And lately, she appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden in the Carpool Karaoke segment that has gone viral.

In an endearing ride around the White House compound, the First Lady and James Corden went through some of her faves: Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered”, Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies”, the aforementioned “This Is For My Girls” as well as Missy Elliott’s “Get Your Freak On.” Amidst all the singing fun and jokes, Michelle passed her message. She represents the complete antithesis of the political rascals Kery James rails against in his latest single, “Racailles”.

Editor’s Note:
Today, we throwback to the earlier experimental (and hitherto archived) versions of the ‘Roll and Coasters‘ series. ‘R&Cs: Racailles’ was originally put together in July 2016. Do enjoy.

I wrote as kid. (I'd die if you'd ever get your hands on those poems.) And I wrote as a teen. (We thought our raps would spearhead revolution.) I write these days to share my joys and perspectives. I am as subjective as they come. I found a bunch of blessed souls that are just as expressive. And Africa is all the better for it. (I think I never really changed.)
