Man I wish they would have advertised this half as much as Whitney. I thought Oprah's trip to Marcy was strickly for the magazine, but as usual I was wrong lol. Very interesting considering we all know Oprah aint one for the Hip Hop (a fact I try to ignore considering my love for Oprah). But as I dive deeper into the relationship btw Oprah and Hip Hop now I have questions now that she has let Jay-Z on her stage, but still no ICE CUBE.
1. Why wasnt Jay-Z a part of her 2 part Hip Hop town hall meeting? for that matter where were the ladies on that show?
2. Does Jay-Z get a pass to come on her show because of Beyonce or Obama?
3. And has she really listened to his lyrics (cuz if she did would she still approve of him being on the showing seeing that shes supposed to be against most of the things he references!!?!)
4. Will she really dive into Jay-Z's old crack dealing/killing the Black community days
PS
Should a rapper like Jay who sold crack to the community now give back to that community? And not just Jay shouldnt that law be made to all rappers who boast about their crack dealing past?
Well to be fair they address about 1 and a half of my questions...

I'm not totally convinced Oprah is enamored with Hip-Hop. I think it's a multitude of things that made Oprah have him on. She gets to shut up her critics about her bein "anti" Hip-Hop, and she gets to expose to people who didn't know, just how EFFED up an individual Jay-Z was. You know "Crack dealer" and all. i think you are correct in your assumptions about the link to Beyonce. But I think if he didn't own one of the major fashion markets, he wouldn't have been on. She shut pour Ludacris down and he never raps about bein negative in the community. I told my friend that Jay-Z had "say over all editing" put into his aggreement to appear on the show. i called it the "Luda-clause"
LMAO!!!!
