The rapper I chose for this role is Diddy. Diddy really suits this role because he is a record producer, actor and entrepreneur which has an estimated net worth of $750 million in 2016. Diddy knows how to properly invest and use his money; therefore, he understands how to manage money, borrow money, and tax.]]> 2017-01-18 19:16:07 UTC https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147924863 Department of Defense 145004036 https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147924977 -Oversees armed forces
-Protects nation's security
                                                                   
The rapper I chose for this role would be MC Hammer. Before his exposure to the world of stardom, MC Hammer enlisted in the United States Navy during the early 1980s. Working his way up to Petty Officer, Third Class, MC Hammer would serve three years at Moffett Airfield. I chose MC Hammer for the role of defense because he himself has had experience within the armed forces, and he could definitely oversee those who will and are serving. ]]> 2017-01-18 19:16:24 UTC https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147924977 Department of Justice 145004036 https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925068 -Drug law enforcement

-Immigration rights and deportation
                                                                     
The rapper I chose for this role is Nicki Minaj. Nicki Minaj was very much against Trump's immigration policy. She told her fans through her song "Black Barbies". This isn’t the first time Minaj has spoken out against Trump and his family. I believe since she is so passionate about helping with immigration rights and deportation, she would be very suitable for this role.  ]]> 2017-01-18 19:16:39 UTC https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925068 Department of the Interior 145004036 https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925144 -Protects national land

The rapper I chose for this role is T.I. There’s no doubt that T.I. is highly regarded as one of the biggest activists in hip hop. The artist has been heard in the past discussing how if we want to see change, we must change the environment first. He would be great for this role because he would be passionate about protecting land and natural resources. ]]> 2017-01-18 19:16:51 UTC https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925144 Department of Agriculture 145004036 https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925203 -Created to help farmers improve income and expand markets

The rapper I chose for this role is Action Bronson. I decided to choose Action Bronson because before he pursued a career in the rap industry, he was previously a chef. I believe he is suitable for the department of agriculture because he knows how to work with food, therefore he would take good action toward the food supply, helping farm land, and improve income.  ]]> 2017-01-18 19:17:02 UTC https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925203 Department of Commerce 145004036 https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925284 -Protects and promotes industrial and commercial segments of US economy
                                                 The rapper I chose for this role was Drake. I chose Drake because he is known to have a 95 percent guaranteed success rate of boosting your song and/or album. I thought this would be a great way to promote industrial and commercial segments of the US economy.  ]]> 2017-01-18 19:17:15 UTC https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925284 Department of Labor 145004036 https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925333 -Ensure safe working conditions
-Ensure minimum wage

The rapper I chose for this role is Chance the Rapper. In 2016, Chance the Rapper created a coat that turns into a sleeping bag for the homeless people in Chicago. While in the process of creating these ingenious coats, the project successfully opened job opportunities for the homeless in the community. I believe he is suitable for this role because he has provides jobs for people so that they can earn a stable income, find secure housing, and gain back their independence for themselves and for their families.]]> 2017-01-18 19:17:25 UTC https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925333 Department of Health and Human Services 145004036 https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925384 -Direct programs concerned with health

The rapper I chose for this role is DJ Khaled. DJ Khaled is a advocate for eating clean and physical fitness. He sponsored the coconut water brand ZICO. He is basically the Michelle Obama of the the rap game. I feel that he would be a suitable candidate for correcting the nations overall health. ]]> 2017-01-18 19:17:34 UTC https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925384 Department of Housing and Urban Development 145004036 https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925432 -Supports home ownership

-Protects housing opportunities for highly disadvantaged
                                                                       
The rapper I chose for this role is ScHoolBoy Q. During ScHoolboy Q's drug dealing days, the Cali rapper spent some time bouncing around from place to place. Because this rapper had it so tough in the past but still managed to find a place to stay through those tough times, he could possibly assist those going though the same situation. This artist is able to empathize with those in this situation, I feel like he would play the perfect role for housing and urban development. ]]> 2017-01-18 19:17:44 UTC https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925432 Department of Transportation 145004036 https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925477 -Regulate all aspects of transportation

I believe he is fit for this role because he would definitely know how to ensure convenient transportation, considering he always travels in style. ]]> 2017-01-18 19:17:53 UTC https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925477 Department of Energy 145004036 https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925541 -Purpose is to give energy to US citizens (natural gas, coal, etc)
-Regulate energy sources
                                             
The rapper I chose for this role is French Montana.  Montana came back in US few years back from a very poor country, Morocco, and now he is considered one of the successful rappers in the world. I feel that Montana suits this role because he knows what it is like to live in poor conditions; therefore, he will be able to provide good energy, and regulate energy sources. ]]> 2017-01-18 19:18:01 UTC https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925541 Department of Education 145004036 https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925589 -Help disabled kids with education

Lamar has also worked with a non-profit organization.]]> 2017-01-18 19:18:12 UTC https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925589 Department of Veterans Affairs 145004036 https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925908 -Administers hospitals and programs to benefit veterans and their families
                                                                       
The rapper I chose for this role is Ice T. Before Ice T pursued his rap career, he served four years in the United States army. I chose this role for him because he has gone through what veterans like himself, have gone through. Because he is able to relate, he would have great input within programs that will benefit veterans. ]]> 2017-01-18 19:19:17 UTC https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925908 Department of Homeland Security 145004036 https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925948 -Created in 2002, following attacks on 9/11

-Develops national strategies to prevent terrorism
                                                                       
The rapper I chose for this role would be Kanye West. Ever since the $11 million dollar Parisian robbery, he has definitely enforced security for him and his family. This was done so his family isn't attacked again. I believe if West can provide this kind of safety after an attack like this, he can do the same for the US.]]> 2017-01-18 19:19:25 UTC https://padlet.com/145004036/ww1t566dhme8/wish/147925948
