OK then. Jay-Z is a talentless crackpot with no clue.
His racism is exceeded only by his ignorance.
How's that for free speech?
Yep. You DID say what you wanted to say, and NBC said NOT ON OUR DIME, dork.

They tell me Jay-Z is "Teh Rule". "The" being deliberately misspelled to show empathy to the inner city "oppressed".
All I can say to this is.................."Yo, s'up". They also tell me that's "old skool" and no longer used in accepted street venacular.
Thank God I'm an old white guy.....I couldn't imagine dealing with this stupidity on a daily basis.
Meyer has spoken freely.
Don't you mean his little rock-slinging heart?
Sad thing is that a lot of people had their checkbooks open and ready to give and when these guys opened their mouths...those checkbooks slammed shut!
Local talk radio here was on this yesterday and countless people called in saying they had planned on giving over the weekend but once these guys started flapping their gums....no way were they donating any $$$
As far as I can tell, this Kanye West character has every right to say whatever he pleases, and when Jay-Z (whoever that is) suggests that he's being denied his rights as an American, he's full of it.
If these guys had paid any attention in school they might be able to grasp that whether there are consequences to what you say, regardless of your freedom to say it.
These consequences probably include a very long pause between now and the next time some organisation dependent on donations from the public calls on Kanye West to perform or speak.
Of course, that may be a moot point, because rap is not exactly a career with a future. Think how hard it is going to be for music moguls to find another boy who can... more or less rhyme. And express that rare attitude, teen rebellion.
By 2007, kids who buy music will be saying, "who dat?"
By 2010, young West will be shouting at an accountant, "what you mean, the money gone?"
By 2030 when he dies in a flophouse, or prison, or shot down in a holdup, he probably won't even be a two-graf crime story on Page B13.
That just breaks my heart.

Dat chile iz oft dah muscle!
This means: He's a great guy. Good Lord, what idiocy. Splendid idiocy.
"F'shizzle" and "bling-bling" back atcha.
Stupidity in its purest form.
If anyone thought that Jay-Z would disagree with his cash cow, they were smoking the product Jay-Z originally used to retail.
Say what you will about Jay Z and Diddy's music, they are both true capitalists. They sell everything it seems like. Dave Chappelle did a skit about this with Roc-A-Wear tampons. Both are very good businessmen no matter their politics.
Let me make sure I understand this:
A drug dealer-turned-rapper endorses a mama's boy-turned producer-turned rapper's completely outrageous comments, and this is news??
The media is so infatuated with the idea of "celebrity" that they think that simply adding someone's name to an article makes it newsworthy. Yuck.

Sorry about the double post.

Actually you came to the light.......
Yeah, but they're both missing a chromosome.
Michael Jackson is a true capitalist too. In addition to being a child molester.
I don't respect people just because they make big bucks appealing to the lowest common denominator.
I would love it if some of the more vocal socialist black elitist would leave the US and live in any country in Africa or the Middle East for 5 years. If they hate the racist US so much, then go to a different and live within a different, maybe better, country. And when they end up disenfranchised on European shores, they may just have a better appreciation of America.
