Sen. Barack Obama covers the June ’08 issue of Rolling Stone magazine. Obama took the opportunity to once again denounce misogynistic rap lyrics while saying he respects rap as a form of artistic expression:

I am troubled sometimes by the misogyny and materialism of a lot of rap lyrics but I think the genius of the art form has shifted the culture and helped to desegregate music.

It would be nice if I could have my daughters listen to their music without me worrying that they were getting bad images of themselves.

Rolling Stone endorsed Obama for president back in March.
