If he's one of the biggest artists out &speaking up then all of these rappers can't say their label is holding them back from showing solidarity.

I just think it's wild they can take our support for granted the way they do. They expect us to buy their shyt...we can't buy anything if we're shot dead by cops for no reason. There's zero respect or understanding in the artist-fan dynamic anymore.

I’m offended by that because first of all, and this is going to sound arrogant, but my presence is charity. Just who I am. Just like Obama’s is. Obama provides hope. Whether he does anything, the 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…I felt Belafonte he just went about it wrong. Like the way he did it in the media, and then he big’d up Bruce Springsteen or somebody. And it was like, “whoa,” you just sent the wrong message all the way around…Bruce Springsteen is a great guy. You’re this Civil Rights activist and you just big’d up the white guy against me in the white media. And I’m not saying that in a racial way. I’m just saying what it is. The fact of what it was. And that was just the wrong way to go about it.

Remember BREHS jiggas presence is charity

Z’s interview with Rap Radar, he also addressed how angry he was when he first heard about the not guilty verdict in the George Zimmerman trial.

“I was really angry, I didn’t sleep for two days,” he said. “I was really angry about it, that the thing that we all knew that there was still a bit of racism in America, but for it to be so blatant.”

This is the type of anger and passion about racism that is used to drive major movements that lead to both social and political change.

Despite his anger and disappointment with the Zimmerman trial, Jay Z has decided not to boycott the state and will take to Florida to perform along with Justin Timberlake in August.

During the interview the “Holy Grail” rapper posed the question, “Didn’t Trayvon have the right to stand his ground?”

Well it’s about time Jay Z asked himself another question, “What are you going to do about the injustice… other than provide your presence?”

we cant say cole doing a great thing without trying to shiit on next man asking what they doing to help also?

 

[keond]

Jay too worried about his "brand" and offending his white friends like that fakkit from Coldplay

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

Jay-Z is a brand at this point so expecting him to even tweet is like expecting Wal-Mart or Coke to comment on these issues. Just the way it is, just who he is. Best you can hope for is a punchline in a song.

Jay never been one to defend his people. He'd rather sell them over wax and shrugg when they get profiled for buying over priced clothing and accessories.
