Jay-Z: Black Republican? Still?


Do you all remember the Nas & Jay-Z classic, "Black Republican?"

Honestly, it could have been straight garbage lyrically, and still have been a classic. The streets were waiting for that collaboration, after what was arguably the dopest bar-for-bar rap battle of all (of my life-) time.

I digress though...

Jay was reported to be making a move into politics in the upcoming 2012 Presidential election.

Deputy White House Press Secretary William Burton told the New York Post that he might be officially joining the Obama campaign team in 2012:

The brains behind President Obama’s 2008 election campaign are already strategizing how to re-energize the youth and minority vote for 2012. Their answer: partner with Jay-Z. “I can’t believe you’ve finally heard the chatter about him replacing Larry Summers,” Deputy White House Press Secretary William Burton told us. “In all seriousness, keep in mind he was pretty active during the 2008 election, so I don’t think it’d surprise anyone that he would be involved again. But it’s a little premature.” An insider says strategists feel comfortable with Jay-Z because he’s a respectable celebrity who can reignite their message of hope.”


Since Tuesday's disappointing midterm elections, America's "Dark Knight" might really have to call up ALL of his connects to pull off any miracles in 2012.

No worries though, I'm sure the young, influential POWER MOVERS on the local levels will pull together to encourage the democratic vote. Right?

SCREAM @ ME!!!
