Rapper Waka Flocka Flame declared his candidacy for President of the United States in new campaign video. 

If Waka Flocka Flame has his way, Hillary Clinton might be facing some stiff competition come 2016.

On Monday, Waka declared that he would run for President of the United States in 2016, with DJ Whoo Kid as his running mate, according to Rolling Stone. Waka proceeded to release a campaign video on RollingStone.com and on Facebook. The announcement was, unsurprisingly, released on 4/20. Well played, Waka.

"I'm running for President!! #Waka2016 #WakaforAmerica #Waka4Prez #Vote4Waka http://rol.st/1OzJnSi Rolling StonePosted by Waka Flocka Flame on Monday, April 20, 2015"

Monday was not the first time Waka expressed interest in running for President. Back in November 2012, Waka posted his intention on Twitter.

Wake seems gung-ho on this decision but does he know who would be in his cabinet? We have some ideas.

The Presidential Cabinet contains 15 members, including the Vice President. Here are our nominations:

Vice President of the United States: DJ Whoo Kid (Waka’s choice)

Department of State: Kanye West. The reigning King of Hip Hop deserves top billing. If Yeezus can’t be Veep, he should be Secretary of State.

Department of the Treasury: Joe Budden. Budden’s song N.B.A. (Never Broke Again) gives us faith that he can properly manage the country’s money.

Department of Defense: T.I. He knows a thing or two about personal defense. Surely those skills will translate.

Department of Justice: Kendrick Lamar. This is a given. Listen to ‘Poetic Justice‘ and try to argue otherwise.

Department of the Interior: John Legend. This is more of a figurehead position as his wife, Chrissy Teigen, would do the brunt of the work to keep the Interior fly.

Department of Agriculture: Wiz Khalifa. He’s an expert at growing things.

Department of Commerce: Nas. Nas has invested in dozens of tech startups over the years. He’d be the perfect person to manage the country’s trade and investment opportunities.

Department of Labor: Busta Rhymes. At 42 years-old, Busta has been working for a long time.

Department of Health and Human Services: T-Pain. T-Pain has made a name for himself rapping about the service industry: Buy U A Drank, Bartender, etc.

Department of Housing and Urban Development. Jay-Z. Name someone with more knowledge of living in and building up urban areas. Jay practically single-handedly made Brooklyn’s Atlantic Terminal the place to be.

Department of Transportation: Wyclef Jean. Wyclef has a personal collection of 37 rare and classic cars, which he keeps in a garage in Miami. No one is a better fit for this position.

Department of Energy: Drake. Drake wrote a song entitle ‘Energy‘ and he’s one hip-hops young guns. He will live up to the position.

Department of Education: J.Cole. Not only is he one of rap’s shining stars but he also has a degree in Communications and Business from St. Johns University. He even graduated magna cum laude.

Department of Veterans Affairs: Mystikal. Mystikal was in the United States Army. Enough said.

Department of Homeland Security: Ice T. Not only did Ice serve in the Army, he was born in Newark and has lived in New York for decades. He’s the perfect person to protect our country from our enemies.

Now that’s a cabinet.

Surely, Colorado and Washington state should be on board with Waka in 2016. That’s 21 electoral votes right there! Now, if he can just work on those additional 249.
