Who knew the president had rap skills and such a good flow?

Someone decided it was a good idea to have President Barack Obama rap to the lyrics of Iggy Azalea's hit song “Fancy.” So they set to work to make a compilation video and the results are hilariously awesome. If this video doesn't make you smile today, nothing will!

Although it's somewhat disconcerting to hear the president say “I'm still in the murder business,” we have to admit that Mr. President would drop his political career at any time and have a shot at rocking the Billboard charts.

The idea is simple: take several videos of the President speaking and create a mash-up that perfectly mirrors Azalea's song lyrics. What's interesting is that the creator of the video even tried to match the pitch of the voice and the tempo, making it seem like Obama was really singing his heart out.

If you liked the video, the creator's YouTube channel has some other popular songs sung by different presidents. Of course, we can't fail to notice that this idea is taken from Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show bit. But if we're really honest, he too stole it from the internet, because there's this clip of Tony Blair singing to The Clash's “Should I Stay or Should I Go” floating online for years.

For educational purposes, we have compiled a list of videos illustrating our point, which you can watch below.
