Rapper Jay-Z performs at Hammerstein Ballroom on November 11, 2007 in New York City.

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.”

jay-z

Seems like no one has quite enough swagger like Jay-Z ’cause he hasn’t released an album in a minute, yet he managed to snag the No. 1 spot on The Source magazine’s “Power 30″ list. According to the publication, Jay-Z deserves the top spot because he’s an industry leader and a top businessman, thus taking into consideration his ventures with Live Nation and Rocawear as well as his part-ownership of the New Jersey Nets. Take note that Jay isn’t a businessman, he’s a BUSINESS man! Other notable celebrities who made the list include, Diddy, 50 cent, Lil Wayne, Will.i.Am., Snoop Dogg, T-Pain and Miss Fabulosity herself Kimora Lee Simmons. President Barack Obama also gets an honorable mention because of his great influence on the new hip-hop generation.

In related news, the moment you’ve all been waiting for is finally here…well not exactly, but it’s almost here! It’s official, Jay-Z will release his anticipated album Blueprint 3 on September 11th. Word is a formal announcement will be made at Hot 97’s Summer Jam concert on Sunday.

Cop the June/July 2009  issue of The Source hitting newsstands June 16th!

Had it been just two cops shooting the chimp it would’ve been fine, but adding “They’ll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill!” just directly connects it to President Barack Obama. Calling him a monkey…WOW! On the other hand, as racist as it maybe (I don’t condone it) but it is freedom of speech.


Where do you draw the line on humor??

I mean is this any worse than Rick Ross calling 50 Cent “a monkey”?

ANY THOUGHTS?!

It appears that the legendary Etta James is not a big fan of Beyonce. So much so that she wants to give her a beatdown! Apparently, Etta “can’t stand” Beyonce and hates that the President and the First Lady danced to Beyonce’s rendition of her hit song “At Last” at the Neighborhood ball on January 20th in Washington D.C. Ms. James publicly aired her discontent with the songstress at a concert in Seattle earlier this week in which she said,
“You guys know your President, right? You know the one with the big ears? Wait a minute, he ain’t my President, he might be yours, he ain’t my President. You know that woman he had singing for him, singing my song – she’s going to get her a*s whipped. The great Beyonce. I can’t stand Beyonce! She has no business up there, singing up there on a big ol’ President day, singing my song that I’ve been singing forever.”


Etta was probably high off of something on stage ’cause last month her son told the NYDaily News that, “She was looking forward to seeing it. She was honoured (and) she thought it was great. She’s gotten emotional, just like everybody else”. Etta should be happy that “the great” Beyonce has made her relevant again.

LexAve: First Aretha and now Etta James, what’s really good with these geriatric divas…your time has come and gone. Time to let it go! Could you picture the 100 year-old Etta beating Beyonce’s ass?! HILARIOUS!

LexAve: Wait a minute! Come to think of it…Etta James ain’t dead, so didn’t Pres. Obama get Etta to sing her own song?! What’s up with that?! Nonetheless, Etta poppin’ off like so is hilarious!

Mariah Carey is back on her diva issh and refused to sit with “regular/VIP” folk at Obama’s inauguration. MiMi was given a seat at the inauguration in the VIP section with a bunch of other celebrities including Jon Bon Jovi, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys and Bruce Springsteen. Word is the diva was “furious” when she found out where she’d be seated for the inauguration.
Some source told Page Six,“Somehow she thought she’d be up with the Obama family. When she realized she wasn’t, she bailed.”
Another celeb on that MiMi divaishh, was Sean Combs who is said to be upset that he wasn’t invited to perform at official events and disappointed that Jay-Z had a bigger presence. Combs’ rep said, “It was one of the greatest moments of his life. Sean was invited to the inauguration and was seated third row, with Jay-Z, at the ceremony.”
Something tells me these celebrities flocked to Obama’s inauguration for the wrong reasons. In fact, I’m sure more than half of those millions of people out there, came out for the wrong reasons…just another reason to party and bullshit!
