Watch President Obama Listen to "Lose Yourself" to Get Hyped for the DNC
The ‘8 Mile’ classic still makes its mark.
It seems like it doesn’t matter who you are, Eminem’s Academy Award-winning track “Lose Yourself” still has the power to psyche-up just about anyone, including the leader of U.S. of A. A behind-the-scenes video from the Democratic National Convention (DNC), which was held in Philadelphia at the end of July, shows the POTUS getting hyped to the rapper’s 2002 hit. The video also showcases Obama’s signature humor as he is seen joking with President Bill Clinton over his wife and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Obama states, “I hope you don’t mind me saying, she’s a little more qualified than you. I included myself in that category.” Check out the clip above around the 59-second mark to catch the scene.
