JAY-Z VOWS TO REMAIN POLITICALLY INCORRECT…

Tweet

Although Jay-Z is buddies with President Barack Obama after working on the Democratic election campaign last year, he maintains that he’s not switching up his rap style to please his politician pals. Apparently, Jay has Prez. Obama’s number “on speed dial” in his cell phone. WOW! But, there’s no need to worry ’cause Jay-Z isn’t toning down his cut-throat lyrics for anyone, not even the president of the United States! He tells BBC ,

“Sometimes there are hard truths in rap, they’re not packaged with pretty ribbons. Sometimes the realities of the situations are harsh and they need to be told.”

He adds,

“We’re the poets of our generation! Those truths and those honesties need to be told and sometimes that will rub people the wrong way but that don’t mean you don’t tell them… I think when rap is done brilliantly it can inform you of a problem, things that are going on.”
