Jay-Z and Beyonce hosted a fundraiser for Barack Obama at the 40/40 last night. Barack Obama had some words for Jay-Z and Beyonce you can read below.
“Jay-Z now knows what my life is like. We both have daughters and our wives are more popular than we are. So we’ve got a little bond there. It’s hard, but it’s ok.”
“Beyonce could not be a better role model for my girls.”
- Barack Obama

From Marcy Projects to the White House….do your thang Jay.
Nas and Tupac lost. Jay won.
Easy-E was invited to the White House too. So Easy-E> Nas. Am I doing it right?
Hell if this makes one person see that their full potential is beyond where they’re from or what limits other placed upon them… its a great look to inspire the next generation.
Hopefully we can get more into fileds other than hip hop and sports. I’m an engineer that started out in the projects. We just need to show them there is a way, a legit way to obtain your dreams.
This picture is major! Not just for HipHop but for black culture in general. My hope is that 4 more years of Barack as well as the emergence of more prominent black leaders like him will inspire more black men to consider becoming doctors, lawyers, politician (the “legal” hustler lol).
This picture is a reminder why he’s the best.
i guess selling your soul to satan does have its advantages….
ditto.
what do u actually mean by the phrase “selling your soul to satan”. ppl hear a phrase and say the phrase and talk out they ass cuz nobody challenges them to explain their point of view. i’m challenging you to tell me why u feel jayz sold his soul to satan. really tho
i hate that as soon as a black man reaches a certain tax bracket he is now a sellout. with no proof other than his success, that is a crab in a bucket mentality.
Where do you cash the check for your soul? How do you go about selling your soul? Do you place an ad in the newspaper saying “Soul For Sale, in excellent condition” If you can go from selling drugs to having a casual convo with the PRESIDENT, then have my soul
Well…………………. im voting for Romney. How can Obama take money and be seen in public with a person like jay z?? All he talks about is selling drugs!! What kind of example is it setting for our kids when they see a self proclaimed drug dealer on top of the world chilling with the president?!?! Makes me sick and we need to get this guy out of office.
All Jay Z raps about is selling drugs? Did you wake up with the intention of looking and sounding stupid on the internet today?
Jay also raps about wealth and how he’s superior to his competition and his listeners.
moron
home of philly…..your a idoit. This is nothing but bad for Obama. All this will inspire is for ppl to make it seeem alright to sell drugs and gangs. Whats next?? Hes going to do a remix on Rick Ross “hold me back”.
Romney!!! time to take back our country!
for the dummy’s votin’ for Romney, just remember his phrase “keep america american” is the same phrase used by the KKK.
niggas talking about money, young jeffe talkin to the leader of the free world. step your game up. it aint about money, its about America, my country.
and that nigga j, you probably a self hating nigga. fcuk outta here with your bullshit. talking about romney. romney aint supporting you and your cause. thats not my opinion, those were the words of romney.
dont know wat they talkin bout but the pic is inspirational. when u tell a kid in the hood, look he came from the same place u came from and look at where he is at now. u can have that, u can be that, that is real no fairy tales here. alot of lil niggas might brush it off, alot of lil niggas might say he a sellout. but maybe just one black boy or girl will see it and want to achieve it. and thats good enough for me
salute
This.
Cosign County of Kings!
Said I’d be all up in Goldman Sachs
Like, “These niggas tryna cant me back
These niggas tryna cant me back”, I’m just trying to protect my stacks
Mitt Romney don’t pay no tax, Mitt Romney don’t pay no tax
Its good to see someone raising funds and backing someone instead of just talking that good shit (Russel Simmons). I just hope everyone can play their part and go vote.
There is a Jay-Z lyric from the early 90′s that would describe this picture perfectly … just can’t remember it in full.
Everything Jay raps about comes to fruition.
for j this is good and i give him props for getting to where he is but wtf is obama doing? this dude shud be worrying about the world right now and the shit that happened to the american embasssy instead of meeting wit rap stars
IM just reading these comments and laughing, haha study ya history about drugs and how it shaped are nation. Without drugs we wouldn’t have the building and funding’s we have now, -.-’ how do you think NY and Miami came about? I love this picture and admire them for climbing to the top, this picture right here is an inspiration to me to strive even harder.
J is the official King of NY!
freemasons gotta look out for each other . not a good look for obama
CO killer. You should think before you type. i bet you never voted once! Lets say your a Obama supporter, you should not be happy to see Obama surround himself with these type of people. You know how many ppl will see this picture and not vote for him??? Jay z may rap about other things besides selling drugs but the fact of the matter is he does rap about selling drugs! A president should not even come close to a person like Jay z just b.c of that. For eveyone one person who thinks its cool theres another 100 who hate it.
Homie I live in Jamaica and not Jamaica queens so nah I have never voted in your US elections but Jay Z came from nothing and build an empire all on his own, isn’t that what america is about? Entrepreneurs? Ppl outside of rap don’t even view Jay Z as a rapper, they look at him more like a businessman and Beyonce’s husband, he’s been friends with NY’s mayors for years so trust they look at him as a rapper that raps about selling drugs, wasn’t he a big supporter in 08? so it sure as hell won’t be a problem in 2012 homie
Owebummer was just getting tips on how to score drugs from the “former” dealer that is Jay Z. Shouldn’t he be worrying about how to defend our 1st Amendment rights to our enemies?? We’re the infidels, remember? I’m guessing that most people on this blog don’t participate in the American economy on a regular basis. If BHO gets a chance to run this country for four more years, kiss your “freedoms” goodbye. Education will hopefully save you from yourselves.
@ Co Killer
As far as the selling his soul stuff. How about we take quotes from a Jayz song itself
“”Illuminati want my mind, soul, and my body”
Secret society, tryna keep they eye on me”"
or
“I never prayed to God
I prayed to Gotti, that’s right it’s wicked
That’s life I live it
my soul is possessed
