In his shows as of late, the Brooklyn rapper has also been incorporating a positive message supporting Barack Obama. During these messages he has received a great deal of support from the fans in attendance.
Jay-Z went on to say, “For America, [Obama] means so much. I believe he can change the perception and relations between America and the rest of the world right now. I am that kid that grew up in [Brooklyn, New York’s] Marcy Projects and thought that no matter who was in office, we weren’t part of the political project. Because our voice didn’t count, and trickle-down politics — we were the last on the totem pole to receive any attention because we couldn’t put a candidate in office...He represents to that kid in Marcy Projects, that we really here… And as your mother says, with the right focus and the right thoughts and determination you can be anything in the world that you want to be. It’s a true statement for the first time; it’s really a special time to be here.”

Jay and Timbo got classics......... Promises to be nice....
Jay's best music was with Primo. He should have Primo doing more of his joints. I'm also trying to hear like a Reservoir Dogs part 2. Now that Jada is on the ROC, I want Jay, Beans, and Jada to do another track together, that would be crazy!!
Also it's great that Obama is a black man running for Pres and that he's CLEARLY better than Mccain. But I'm not gonna put all my faith in Obama like he's the 2nd coming of Christ. I wanna see how he actually runs the country when he's president. It's a politicians job to bullshit to try and gain votes, it's how they conduct themselves when their actually elected that's important.
^ hello brooklyn wasnt a classic and wayne got bodied on mr carter
thats good that hes thinkin about the quality of the music first instead of just forcing something to happen
VOTE OBAMA
DA God...
Props for the first half of ya comment but for the second part... I can't give it to you.
It really doesnt matter how well Obama does...
When it comes down to it... we could have Jesus in office and it wouldn't make much of a difference! At least not for another 8 years it wouldn't!
Bush has fucked this economy and country up soo bad that it'll be at least a decade before we could our finances as a nation back to a positive status. And another 10 years before we can catch back up to Japan.
Obama could make all of the right moves in office but it won't make a difference... the effects won't start to show until either his 2nd term or until the next person got in office...and took the credit for it of course!
More importantly...Obama has no choice but to do the right thing. The first time he even attempts to fuck up... they're gonna put him on the spot and blame the entire race for it!
I'm supporting him 100% PERIOD. The only other candidate that was worth talking about was John Edwards... the rest of em are greedy fuck ups...PERIOD!
_________________________________
In regards to Jay... I could care less who produces his shit...It's JAY! Yall know he's definitely NOT gonna drop some bullshit!
Not with Nas's album being as hott as it was!
~Be Eazy!
im afraid your wrong wiz with that second part... if Jesus was in office he could just be like, "Aight, Everything Back To Normal" and its done
loool...i aint even gonna lie jigga bodied weezy on both HELLO BROOKLYN & MR CARTER
as 4 the upcoming album (might be titled BLUEPRINT 3)...i would want to hear production from timberland, kanye, just blaze and primo
also i wasnt crazy collabos with the likes of Nas, Jada, beans....etc
this nigga jgga is still gonna be murdering MIC even when he turns 80 nd over....he will be ghost-writing 4 the youngins in the game....and ghostwritin will mean more $$$$$
Jays new album is gonna be dope. and i really hope he doesnt do another track with Weezy...Weezy doesnt have the honor to record with jay
Everyone remember to vote so we can get him into office cause theres a lot of people tryin to make sure he doesnt win so dont forget to get out there n vote thats the most important thing, if you dont vote youre sacrificing your political power n your voice. obama '08 lets make it happen.
I like the way Jay chooses his tracks too, not just a hot beat but something he can drop a bomb on
im still waiting for that king koopa and jay-z collabo
jay z is that dude his album is always gonna bring somethin to the table even though he "retired" years ago. hopefully jay z doesnt make an obama song tho ludacris's is already gettin obama in trouble
Fuck jessie jackson. The reason people didnt wanna get behind him cuz they knew what type of person he is and now his true colors are comming out! Oh and why is Luda song gettin obama in trouble. I bet if one of those rock groups did a song about Mcasswhole they would be praising him. This world and politics are so fucked up.
LMAO @ Houston. When did Jesse run 84', 88'?? Most of these rappers where either in diapers or under 18 when Jesse was running. Also hip-hop wasn't as big as it is now back then.
houston i aint from miami fuck ass nigga.flawda dont only have one city stupid bitch.ooh but what should i expect from a nigga who sound like he flunked pre-k.u gota stop stop actin hard on the web cuz one day sombody gonna locate you and put ur fake ass to sleep permently

n sorry 2 say houston but jesse really neva had a chance B
I still wish hed do an album with all Timbo beats
Shout to Hov! Someone who actually has something relevant to say when u put a microphone or tape recorder in front of them.
Recgonize this moment in history. Your kids are gonna ask u about it......Obama in '08
lookin foward to this album, hope he takes it back to reasonable doubt and goes hard
i hope he got a just blaze track on that joint
Hov! All the best on your next album...salute!!!!
You came to england and shoved your swagger in noel gallachers face. True say noel does not know that his foolish speech did not phase anybody but himself "There should be no HIP-HOP at the GLASTONBURY" is he on CRACK?...lol. And his own people gave him a backlash because youM went on stage and brought on your rainman as a true artist.
half these rappers dont even know what the fuck obama stands 4 they jus cheerin' 4 the brother.i heard some1 sayin man gas prices r crazy we need oboma 2 do somethin bout this......and obama is against lowering gas prices!!!...do ur research b4 u start jumpin on the band-wagon.
Are you sayin Obama is against lowering the price of gas because he is against a gas tax holiday that is purely cosmetic and wont actually lower gas prices? If so think about this, McCain's economic policy is being written by a big oil lobbyist that was responsible for the Enron Loophole, which deregulated the oil industry. In addition to this McCain voted AGAINST removing the Enron Loophole, which would take control of gas prices from speculators that can drive up prices for their own profits.......would you care to comment on that sir?
I fux with Jay, not only cuz he’s reppin the home team. But sonn knows how to abuse the booth,…hell have you seen duke live in concert? If your answer is No then, do your self a favor, get to it…Jigga still Freestyles on his own shit goddamn… Shit And we all know Jay’s flow ain’t that reasonable doubt/blueprint ish no more, but money still, that shit he drops is still hardbody, way better ish then 95% of cats out today….yes he better then your favorite rapper too B (sorry). I mean kinda like Mike with the Wizards, he still gave you 22pts 6 boards 6 dimes…but some night he dropped 50. You can’t count Jay out. So fuck yeah give us a damn album,…
Ok now that’s said, I have to bring up the political ish, listen we know Jay has a voice, but please use it well. We don’t need these Niggaz fuckin it up for all of us. Like that Luda record,…nah mean? That shit was too reckless,…now you have Obama answering for that shit. Fuck, these rappers now think they can speak politics & drop a diss record to McCain or Bush,…hell nah, fall back let Barack do the dissing man,…if he needs you to collab he’ll hit you up. I mean you can support the man, go perform at his conventions and shit, maybe speak a sentence or 2,…but no more Diss records, So JAY hope you reading this…give us a damn classic album with no Barak record I’m good
Yo, berg, what's your #? I'm lookin' out for you this season... And, Wisconsin BETTER be ranked after week 3, my dude!!? Y'all fell off a lil' bit since the Ron Dayne/Michael Bennett years...
props Iceberg i dunno wat was on luda rabbit ass mind, but he should of just chilled Obama dont need dat shit....and props to Wiz101 too, he had a good point about how the u.s is gonna be fucked no matter gets in office, bush buried us alive and its gonna take some years to dig ourselves out...and dat when it probably does happen barack won't be in office anymore and his heir is gonna inherit all da praise...IT'S ALL POLITICS!!!!
Kanye must of bitched him out about only having Timbaland on his new album so he changed his mind about what he said before
ROFL @ jessie jackson...his chances at running for president ended before it even started
You aint lyin......that nigga thought he could get elected off the strength of bein black....then to turn around and hate on Obama at faux news of all places......that nigga should put his lip over his head and swallow himself
word to santana
ANT WAIT FOR THE ALBUM JAY Z BEST RAPPER ALIVE CHECK OUT MY LIVE JAY Z MIXTAPE
http://www.datpiff.com/Jay-z-DJ-Young-Money-Live-mid17965.html#
OR www.myspace.com/djyoungmoneyuk
can't wait for this, kiss my ass, n theater of mind
Jay-Z should do a "Classic album" with great producers such as 2 from timbo, 2 from Kanye West, 2 from primo, 2 swiss, 2 pete rock, 2 just blaze, 2 Dre. But 1 whole album from one producer, it is going to get boring. For real !!!!
Why doesnt anyone mention Dame Grease? Or Hi-Tek? They are some great producers. As far as the album goes he should keep it straight Roc-A-Fella he has a bunch of artist he could expose tru life and uncle murder and get some classic verses from jada beans memphis freeway kanye get the young gunz and then the last record should have a bonus track with "X' and Ja or some crazy ass feature that is long overdue
Dame Grease isn't ALL that great to me.
I think I wanna here production wise: Timbo, The Hitmen, 'Ye, Just Blaze, Primo, I would like him and Polow to hook up to.
Feature wise: Nas (Can they make it 3 in a row!), Jada, Beans, Lupe Fiasco (Pressure was crazy), Kanye. Others i would like to see...but this is what would get me excited.
Jay-Z The truth. The other best rapper alive.
Support Obama.
Support the real.
Peace!
personally, i was pulling for Edwards (him and Obama, to me, both represented the same idea and concept of change but Edwards was just clearer on the way he handle his campaign)..but i am a supporter of Obama, and i think when he lands in office his not going to totally change the faults in america but lay down the blueprint for the next president to reap the rewards...what i dont get is why do all the people care and say my vote means something. No, it doesnt if u remember Gore won the pop. vote but lost the E. college..what does that tell you? that instead of putting all yur strength n voting for Pres. vote for all the not so popular positions that have a vote in the College..then it becomes much easier when they vote for (obama) Pres. and it matters!
As for Jay..i mean the producution is important but not the main focus or shuldnt b the main focus of the album..its comes down to who is in the studio tearin' up the Mic..and with Jay you know what he brings..

@mr.turkleson(lol)- yes i would like 2 comment, im talkin about OBAMA not mccain.i dont give a fuck who mccain got writing his economic policy im talkin about obama not giving a fuck about gas prices because we would only save a little money in the long run(which is disagree) i know u like 2 try n feel cool replying with educated material but stay on topic bruh.
Okay let me make this just a little bit clearer for you since you dont understand, the gas tax holiday would suspend the gas tax which pays for upkeep of our infrastructure (highways, railroads, etc). The oil companies then raise prices approximately 18 cents a gallon to make up the difference and the consumer does not get any relief from high gas prices, our infrastructure continues to deteriorate, and oil companies profit even more...is that on topic enough for you bruh?
Oh and yea before i forget i DO enjoy sounding educated, I DO research politics which is a passion of mine, and I DO know what senator Obama stands for. Before you ignorantly pass judgment, why dont you do a lil more research like you were preaching about in your first comment
Yes We Can '08
BUT FELLAS WE GOTTA AT LEAST GIVE WAYNE PROPS ON HIS APPROACH (EXCEPT LOLLI POP)HES STAYED AWAY FROM TRENDS OH WAIT DID HE DO THE T-PAIN VOICE BOX YET ??? WELL MY POINT IS HES GOING IN THE OPPOSITE WAY OF SOULJA BOY AND THE BUBBLE GUM CROWD . AND HIS MIXTAPES DO GET A LITTLE PLAY , BUT JAY'S MIKE JORDAN (WEARIN THE THA 45) ITS NOT PLAY GAMES WITH YOU-ITS TO AIM AT YOU-PROBABLY MAIM U !!! HOVA THA GOD (BIGGIE 4 EVA) PAC 4 LYFE
I give mr.turkleson props on knowing his stuff cause there is a lot of people that support obama cause he is black yeah that is fine and dandy but come on this man knows his stuff and there is nothing wrong with being educated.
But yeah wayne did that t-pain voice box and I gotta disagree with you wayne stayed with that bubble gum crowd he has the bobby valentino track sounds like the track with robin thicke on the carter 2 but I dont know I thought he stayed in that genre but JAY is gonna kill The Blueprint 3
Jay shouldn't have any collabo's on the Blueprint 3 he should make atleast 14 tracks by himself wit beats by Timbo, Ye, Just Blaze, and Swizzy. Do it by himself just to show niggas that he still is the real Best Rapper Alive
Jay and Tim has more in comon in the music industry then wat any reall calisic album producer has in this hip hop world (no homo). Jay has more to say on other albums excluding american gangster up on the poverti or the comin from nothing to get to the top, so i hoppe his got new words and new messages to send out in case of speakin about obama. lets see wat young hov is got on this up comin album.
if you love basketball and hate plies goat, check out my review on "The Preview" and other bball articles on my blog
http://hamexpress.net/2008/07/28/review-of-ludacriss-the-preview/
I love Timbo but most of his collabs with Jay have been commercial. I don't want a big pimpin track from Jay. He's not that rapper anymore. I'd rather hear Dirt Off ya shoulder Jay. Vol 3 was a disaster.
jays washed up he needs to quit this shit. give up jay, you aint what you used to be. all he does now is recycle his old lyrics, thats when you know youre done. he sucks now. end of story
big ups to da man Jigga
niggas ain't fuckin wit him
