Columbus, OH (WFN) -- Rap music may have found a new fan: Vice President Dick Cheney.

That's according to rap record producer Tony Reynolds, who claims that a Republican Party insider told him the vice president likes a new rap record, "Farhenheit 9/11: Proud to be an American", that's being released for the Republican National Convention.

The song features four rappers including Bizzy Bone from Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and Bizarre from the group D12 and lyrics include throwdowns like: "This is modern day Vietnam, they be dropping the bombs on innocent souls to finding Sadaam in a hole."

Cheney doesn't wear the bling-bling or baggy clothes normally associated with rap fans but Reynolds says the insider told him "The vice president gives a thumb up to it," and will donate some resources to bring awareness to the record.

However, Cheney's spokeswoman Catherine Sprunt would neither confirm or deny Cheney's rap affection.
