Following the announcement from Hip Hop’s Godfather, Russell Simmons, Hip Hop’s President, Jay-Z has also publically announced he will be endorsing democratic favorite, Barack Obama. Via a lengthy telephone message (Listen here), Mr. Z insists it’s time for change and Obama is the perfect candidate to carry out the task. “Vote for Barack Obama. He is the change we can believe in,” Mr. Carter asserts. With Jay referring to Obama in his new collaboration, “You’re Welcome”, featuring Mary J Blige, we should have seen this coming a mile away huh?  Does Jay really believe in Obama’s powerful poise or is he joining the celebrity bandwagon? You know what to do…SOUND OFF!
