President Obama's camp is already beginning to plan for the 2012 election. Find out why they think Jay-Z would be a great asset to his campaign, plus MTV's complete list of the hottest MC's when you read on...
President Obama's campaign team wants to get the youth and minority vote. And they may have found a solution - get help from Jay-Z. The White House Press Secretary said, "In all seriousness, keep in mind he was pretty active during the 2008 election, so I don't think it'd surprise anyone that he would be involved again."
The president's team also feels that Jay-Z is a responsible celebrity who also has the same message as President Obama. Forbes asked the Jay-Z what he wants to people to think 50 years from now when people say his name and spoke, "I hope to inspire . . . I guess Obama took this thing already, but just the hope of how far we can make it and the hope in knowing how far you can go from where you started if you really apply yourself and stay true to who you are."
Do you think Jay-Z can motivate the youth to get out and vote in the next presidential election?
MTV recently compiled a list of the hottest MC's of 2010. The list has sparked much controversy over some of the spots. Each artist was ranked by their combination of rhyme skill, flow, buzz, commercial success, web presence, and cultural influence. Here's the complete list:
10. Ludacris
9.B.O.B
8. Waka Flocka Flame
7. Lil Wayne
6. Nicki Minaj
5. Rick Ross
4. Drake
3. Kanye West
2. Jay-Z
1. Eminem
I got some personal issues with Kanye only being at #3. But that's just me. Your thoughts on MTV's list?
