Does the hip hop community support his views or this is a ploy for votes?

Republicans are making hay of the bigotry of older people. Obama making a principled stand is stupid politically since most Americans are borderline retarded. Any politician who wants to be intellectual is a bad politician since most people are simpletons. You have to win over borderline retarded people to become president.

Who cares what some washed up rapper thinks, a rapper who has used gay slurs in his music. Jay-Z is just like most black people who support Obama, they're going to support him no matter what is does, becuase his black. He could come out and say he worrships the devil and they would still support him.

The black youth. That's why Jay-Z's endorsement is so powerful.

And as far as washed up rapper, how about an accomplished millionaire who survived the streets of Brooklyn and went on to become one of the wealthiest Americans and wealthiest musicians in history.
