Michelle Obama has chosen to invite the rapper Common to perform at the White House Wednesday evening, and he is expected to lead rap workshops with school children prior to his performance, which is part of a greater event showcasing America’s poets, musicians, and artists.

Common’s lyrics have referenced killing policemen and have called for the burning of George W. Bush. Maybe he’s not the best choice to be teaching school kids?

Here is a video of Common performing:
