The Obama campaign announced today that Jay-Z and NBA star LeBron James will hold a "Last Chance for Change" concert in Cleveland next Wednesday.
The announcement about Jay-Z comes a few days after he dedicated his 2003 song "99 Problems" to Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
The lyrics to "99 Problems" include the famous line:
"If you're havin' girl problems I feel bad for you son I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one."
According to MTV News Jay recently dedicated the song to McCain and a "homegirl," whom he described as "the one who says 'You betcha.' "
"I'm gonna get in trouble for this," Jay said, laughing, "but f--- it, this is freedom of speech."
Nothing more than Obama receiving support from his gangsta, thug base. Move along, nothing to see here.
Add more votes for McCain — really dumb campaign to showcase these blacks for Obama. This would might make sense if the blacks had voted in big numbers for a white candidate in the past but that just isn’t true. Cleveland has always been Dem but now we might pick up some more Hillary Dem votes in Cleveland.
What am I missing here? I had a professor tell me that someone he knows in PA is saying that Obama is sounding more black by the day using phrases from the black community. Blacks cannot put him over the top but they can alienate some Hillary supporters even more that know Obama stole the election via the crooked caucus system from her. The Clinton supporters mantra not mine.
We aren’t allowed to dedicate a crass song to Jay-Z (Gangster Hood name). That would be racist. Yo Yo Yo wuss up hoam? Word! No-wum-sain?
From whom? The MSM? Rap buyers? Obama supporters?
They played the same song on the campaign trail against Hillary.
How 'bout we hold a "Last Chance for 'Millionaire Superstars' and 'Freedom of Speech'" concert?
At least now I don't have to feel bad that you'll NEVER win a championship.
Thank God for Jake Tapper. He may be the last honest reporter left in the country.

What a wonderful role model. /s
Is this the change Obama is talking about?
I don’t ever watch NBA basketball. I wouldn’t walk down to the park to see any of them if they came here. As far as listening to one of them sing the ugly music that has permeated urban culture. Forget it. Never happen, either.
In view of the fact that Jay-Z is a very popular rapper, editorials must be written condemn his anti-woma rhetoric before the young adopt these views.
Obama must denounce him too.
