JAY-Z TO OTHER RAPPERS: “Y’ALL AIN’T HOOD…”

Jay-Z is sick and tired of rappers boasting that they’re from the hood. After taking a trip to Africa it obviously clicked in his head growing up in Marcy Project’s in Brooklyn is no where near what folks in Africa have to deal with on a daily basis. He says,

“Rappers say they’re from the hood. They’re not. Bella is from the hood. She’s that girl in the village in Africa who wakes up every morning to get water for her family. The water she carries is half her body weight. There is no bathroom in her house. Just listening to that, don’t you feel it puts everything into perspective? Being in Africa shows you how small the world is and puts everything into focus. Adding, “If I can use my celebrity status to bring awareness to something, I will. Giving is the purest form of charity, and without sounding cheesy, I like to give- it makes me feel good.”

Jay does have a point, but it took for him to go to Africa to realize that?! I’m pretty sure he’s seen those “Feed the Children” commercials before.
