Barack Obama To Jay-Z: The Nets Suck

By Michael Scherer | @michaelscherer | September 11, 2009 | +

In advance of his new album, Jay-Z has been making the rounds. Earlier this week, in an appearance on New York City’s Hot 97, he described a phone call he had with Obama during the campaign, in which Obama evoked Michael Jordan and dissed the basketball team Jay-Z partially owns, the New Jersey Nets. Worth the listen, even if you don’t know the difference between a businessman and a business, man.

In other news, the White House is gonna get its own farmer’s market.

    this is more pop culture than news. Coming from the white house correspondent, it’s just stunning.
    .
    I would question the timing. you are fully aware that this is 9/11. and instead of critiquing this CNN attempt to terrorize and sensationalize, you’re reporting on a couple of dudes trying to get j-z to to say certain things are racism.
    .
    why doesn’t the media ever own up to it’s mistake?
