LOS ANGELES - Rap mogul Jay-Z is standing behind Kanye West, who went off-script to declare that George Bush doesnt care about black people during his appearance in last Fridays NBC telethon for Hurricane Katrina victims.
Im backing Kanye 100 percent, Jay-Z told Billboard by phone from London. This is America. You should be able to say what you want to say. We have freedom of speech.

I had no idea that "Jay-Z" was a constitutional authority. Bless his little pea-pickin' heart.

freedom of speech doesnt mean freedom from social consequence.

Bless his little pea-pickin' heart. Don't you mean "cotton-pickin'?"

OK, I confess, I really admire Mike Myers. He's a genius. So my secret hope is that this experience starts his crazy brain thinking and he comes over to the dark side. Something in the way he reacted gives me hope. I used to be a liberal. It was the crazy left's reaction to Gulf 1 that brought me to the dark side.

Forgive me for having no respect for the opinions of a grown man who calls himself something like Jay-Z, P. Diddy, or the like.

Ah, well this just explains why we should take this guy seriously. Any rap artist who has a song like that we should all bow down to his politics, cause they have to be right.

Who is Jay-z? I guess I should get out more.
To: Gomez
I have freedom of criticism and speech. Which is to say.... Kyane West is an idiot and so is Jay-Z whatever and their "music" is horrible and they are both ugly.
I love freedom of speech.
