It's President Obama's last summer in office, and he's shared the tunes he's going to be listening to.

Obama created two Spotify playlists, one for day and one for night, that are his soundtrack to the summer. The list spans from rap to jazz to Manu Chao. One track conspicuously absent is Eminem's "Lose Yourself," which Obama used to hype himself up before his DNC speech this year.

However, ABC News reported that Twitter is rather upset about one musician who did not make the cut for POTUS' playlist — and her absence certainly is a bit of a surprise. It turns out the President isn't planning on dancing to "Freedom" or "Formation" this summer, as there's no Beyoncé on his playlist. Yet, the President's playlist could also be seen as a testament to the fact that there are countless phenomenal women of color musicians out there (who are sometimes forgotten), even if Beyoncé is the most famous today.

Another cool thing about Obama's playlist is that the songs are divided up into two different playlists: one for daytime and one for nighttime. POTUS isn't trying to listen to Jay Z's "So Ambitious" when he's winding down the evening; once the sun sets, he moves on to Denise LaSalle's "Trapped By A Thing Called Love," and Carmen McRae's "Midnight Sun."

Here are the two playlists:

There's little doubt that President Obama is the coolest POTUS ever, yet it seems as if every day the President does something that makes him even, well, cooler. The summer 2016 playlist is no different. Obama not only proved that he has superb taste in music, but that he's all about promoting a diverse list of musicians, too. And that's the coolest part of all. Here's hoping he continues to share his playlists even after he leaves office in January.
