Jay-Z says his charity (compares himself to Obama) :

[BlackDiBiase]

I’m offended by that because first of all, this is going to sound arrogant, but my presence is charity. Just who I am, [is charity], just like Obama is.

Obama provides hope. Whether he does anything, that hope that he provides for a nation and outside of America is enough. Just being who he is. You’re the first black president. If he speaks on any issue or anything, he should be left alone. [...]

Of course we want to challenge [Obama] to do better, but I felt like Belafonte just went about it wrong. The way he did it, within the media, and then he bigged up Bruce Springsteen. It was like, ‘Whoa, you just sent the wrong message all around. You just bigged up the white guy against me in the white media.’ I’m not saying that in a racial way. I’m saying what it was just the wrong way to go about it. [...]

My presence is charity! Just this guy who came from Marcy projects apartment 530C, to these places of me playing in Yankee stadium tonight.

I'm going to start calling this nikka Nicholas Van Orton.

 

[Lana Kane]

He needs to stop. He will never be on Obama's level and his presence is charity?

 

[NSSVO]

Did.... did this nikka actually say that? I need a link, I just refuse to believe Hov would say something so blindly arrogant.

[Big Boss]

 

[T.he I.nformant]

The fact that he knows he's arrogant and seems to embrace it makes this more disgusting. Ego on a hundred thousand trillion. Why would you want to put yourself on a pedestal? I know I'm just a caterpillar but damn...I guess we're all just caterpillars.

Jay-z is perfect for the young generation. A lot of people 20 years younger than him share the same ideology they are just not as rich or famous.
